continually amazed at the ability we have to communicate with several
people all across the world all at the same time. Thank you, Heavenly
Father, for inspiring people to develop these incredible tools. Now
that we've talked, I'm not sure what to put in my email.
This morning during studies I fixed some transfer goals. It was hard
because I just want to fit everything into one transfer since this is
the last chance I get to improve myself as a full time missionary! I
need to take advantage of this sacred time! One of the things I want
to really work on is developing the Christlike attribute of humility.
During the mission it's common to have lots of ups and downs of
feeling great about yourself and then feeling wayyyy low like you've
got an impossible amount of growing to do. I love the description of
humility given in Preach My Gospel "It includes acknowledgment of your
constant need for His divine help. ... You are confident that you can
do whatever the Lord requires of you if you rely on Him." This reminds
me of Matthew 5:3, "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven." I love these definitions in trying to find the
true meaning of humility. Humility is NOT thinking poorly of or
constantly diminishing oneself. It IS recognizing our nothingness
compared to God but complete confidence in Him. I want to give all I
have to the Savior this transfer and let Him work the miracles. I hope
that I can truly become who He needs me to be.
This past week we did a lot of member visits and lots of asking for
referrals! That was one of our goals so it was exciting to see we were
able to accomplish that. Still got no referrals from members though.
BUT we can tell they're really trying to find ways to invite their
friends to our upcoming activity in June and to church and share the
gospel with them. We're helping them any way we can. I think we're
going to start seeing cool miracles the next couple months.
Oh and yes it's official, I'm spending my last transfer in Aix with
Soeur McClellan again :). Next Monday we're heading to Lyon for
leadership council and we're getting in pretty early this time, so I'm
hoping to be able to take a little tour through the old stomping
grounds :). Soeur McClellan has never served in Lyon so we might try
to see Vieux Lyon or meet up with Marsha, the amazing Peruvian amie I
taught in Ecully! We'll see what we can do.
Je vous aime !
