So I'm gonna try to get it all in
but I'm so lazy and I'm running outta time haha This week has been good. I'm
still trying to not pull my hair out over feeling like I have no idea what to
do here to help these people but luckily Sister Barrett is helping me out a
ton! She's fantastic! I just ranted to her yesterday about how I feel like I
don't know how to use the Atonement and how I don't have real faith in Christ
and she just let me go on and on and it was great! I felt so much better after.
:) It's true I feel like I'm seriously lacking faith, but! We had a wonderful
Sister's conference this week! We had one a year ago so it was awesome to have
another. There we were taught all about faith and how we should be allowing
Christ to perform miracles with us and AND then I got a letter in the
mail from Sister Booms with a talk by Stephen E. Robinson (so SO good! Everyone
needs to read it) and it really hit me that I have been lacking faith in what
Christ says he can do. I know who Christ is and I believe he is the Son of God
but I've been lacking confidence in his words, that he Truly can cleanse us
from sin and really make us better. SO! That's my next project. :) But
something that was really cool during my studies the other day: I was reading
in Helaman which is officially my favorite book in the Book of Mormon. I was
reading in chapter 3:7 and it's talking about how the Nephites had arrived and
moved into a land that didn't have any trees so they couldn't make the houses
they were used to, outta log. Well in verse seven it simply states that they
became experts in cement....haha now this may seem like a random thing to feel
inspired about BUT! Here I am in little ol’ Talihina, a "land without any
trees" or any of the usual tools I'm familiar with like a branch mission
leader who lives in our area, or things like that BUT! As the Lord did with
these Nephites, he's going to make me an expert cement worker! They didn't
forget how to work with wood! They just also became experts at working with
cement and my cement is relying on the Lord through prayer, scripture study and
faith. I will become an expert at those things because the Lord doesn't want
any of us to be "homeless". Now this may not make any sense to anyone
else but it helped me out haha. I'm just grateful for the gospel. I love the
Book of Mormon and all of you. Thank you for your support. Also! I am so
grateful for all of you organ and piano players that play in sacrament meeting.
Sister Shaw was sick the other day and I ended up having to play in Sacrament,
Relief Society AND primary! THANK YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE FOR YOUR TALENTS!! :)
Have a great week!
Love you forever
Sister Moreno
