This will probably be relatively short. I had to move my p-day around because we had a new Elder come in yesterday we had to pick up from the airport and take him to his new area!
Yesterday we faced some negativity in the mission as well, and it was powerful to see missionaries come together and dispel it all together! I shared a thought on Facebook that I'll share here, but ultimately I want to testify that if we place our focus on the Savior, we can find joy no matter the circumstance!
...
As a representative of the Lord Jesus Christ, I testify that Christ is leading His work in the direction He desires it to go! He is at the head of this work and is "[hastening His] work in its time," especially as He reroutes our efforts through means of social media. The prophet Joseph Smith declared...
“No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done”
There are souls being found, taught, and baptized through the diligent efforts of YOUR missionaries; some of these individuals can be found right here within mission boundaries, while others are accepting the gospel from distant lands in various languages!
If nothing else, I have seen that my testimony of the Savior and His infinite Atonement has grown immensely as I have labored through these difficult, trying times.
2 Corinthians 4:14,17
“Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus...
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.”
I can promise that as we rely on and trust in the Savior of the world and follow His chosen servants, we will be filled with His light and "rejoice evermore!"
