"Absolute truth exists in a world that despises absolutes." -David A. Bednar
Wasn't conference gooooooood!!!!! I would love to hear everyone's favorite talks, quotes, thoughts etc!
What an amazing week this past week! Seriously God is so real! How could he not be? I am amazed how He is in EVERY detail of our lives!! Sometimes I don't like to think about it cause it can be really intimidating! But Nevertheless I know He is in this work, and that He actually cares what I do every moment of my life. That is ABSOLUTE TRUTH! Subsequently I also know He cares what others do every moment of their life! That is why he needs us to help those 1. Know there is a God and 2. Tell them He cares and loves them so much! WE Know it, we love it, we NEED to share it!
I can't even tell you what it is like to teach someone that there is a GOD! It feels so... for lack of a better word UNREAL! I will sit in a lesson and just feel a RUSH a emotion that makes me just want to yell at the person we are teaching and say GOD LOVES YOU RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I hold it in and say it softly hahah but on the inside... oh baby trust me I am exploding ha! We are teaching the SWEETEST girl from China. Jessie. I love her! She is a senior in High school and is here for a school year as an exchange student! She is Living with an LDS family! She has been to the states before last year and went to a Christian Church with her host family. She told us that that was her first time feeling something she couldn't describe. As we have got to know her more and found a interesting way to communicate; since she is learning English; she has began to pray and reads the scriptures daily! The first time she prayed by herself she had such a cool response to it! She said it felt like "magic!" Gosh so cool!!! Well in her culture most people are atheist and so that norm had a large impact on her beliefs. But last week she told us she now knows that there is a God! It was so amazing to hear her say that! Seeing her face just light up and she smiles so big whenever we say "God Loves YOU" just makes my whole day! She just sparkles! Well yesterday we brought a member friend with us that is a Recent convert from China and she just bore out her whole soul to this girl and they were crying. It was so cool to hear her bare her testimony in Chinese! Then Jessie said she wanted to be baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are teaching this Part Member family that is amazing! The Husband is a member and he has been inactive for like 20 years! His fiance is amazing! She is from the Philippines! she is so sweet! She lost her son last year in a car accident and has had such a hard time letting it go. it has been such a blessing for me to see her find relief in Gods' plan of Salvation. I know families are Forever. Well the miracle has happened just in the past few days! Her husband texted us and was like "Guys I need you to help get my life straight so I can marry Marilyn and she can get baptized!" Then we were like ... We are 100% behind that! HA then he was like "Great then GET TO WORK!" I about died! so awesome!!! His fiance Marilyn accepted baptism and so we are teaching her! She cool! Such a sweet mom.
Anyway I love this ABSOLUTE TRUTH so much!!! Honestly I can't wait to get home cause i am going to go ham on everyone! I can't wait to share it with all my friends! Seriously this is to good to be true! I am so eternally grateful for Jesus Christ! At any moment of His Earthly Ministry He could have been like, okay I am done all you people are dumb. But He didn't! He went through with the plan! He didn't give up. He loved it, He shared it. I love it, I am going to forever share it.
Love you guys to the moon and back!
