Hope you had a good week!
This last week was a good one. We had a lot of little moments that showed me how to grow!
We were driving around one night and it was 8:45 so we had 15 minutes left in the day. We said a prayer because we wanted to talk to one last person! Elder Duff and I got the same impression to talk to the same person. We drove over there and no one was home! However on the way there was a house with a light on, we both felt that was the place to go! The person was not interested in talking to us but I felt great that we did what God wanted us too! Another experience this week. We had a feeling to go knock on a random door so we did. The man opened it, yelled at us and closed it! I was so pumped after that because we did what God wanted us to! It is strange to say but I was happy. I think this scripture explains it!
Mosiah 2:41
41 And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it.
We gave talks in one of our wards as well!
My thoughts have been centered a lot on integrity lately. It is sad to see people only make good choices when people are watching.
"To me, integrity means always doing what is right and good, regardless of the immediate consequences. It means being righteous from the very depth of our soul, not only in our actions but, more importantly, in our thoughts and in our hearts. Personal integrity implies such trustworthiness and incorruptibility that we are incapable of being false to a trust or covenant."
God has provided a way for us to have integrity.
“It is given unto you to judge, that ye may know good from evil; and the way to judge is as plain, that ye may know with a perfect knowledge, as the daylight is from the dark night.
“For behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil; wherefore, Is how unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God.
“But whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil, and believe not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God, then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil; for after this manner doth the devil work, for he persuadeth no man to do good, no, not one; neither do his angels; neither do they who subject themselves unto him.” Moroni 7:3, 15-17
My hope is that we all try to do a little better and keep the commandments of God, no matter how small, when only He is watching!
I love and miss you all!!
Love,
