This week has definitely had some
good surprises. Friday when I got the call to train I could definitely
feel the spirit confirm that that is what I am supposed to be doing next
move. I'm very grateful for that role of the Holy Ghost, to confirm to
ourselves the truthfulness of our callings. I'm very excited to train and
since receiving that call I have been pondering about how I was trained and
thinking of ways I can apply certain principles. I'm thankful the Lord has
that trust in me and knows that I can train effectively. Along with the
call to train was the call to move and open a new companionship. I'm also
very grateful for that opportunity to learn and grow. To be honest, before I
got that call I definitely felt that I might be moving or training. As with
all changes in life, or opportunities to grow, we are going to have to leave
some things behind. I will be leaving the Sha Tin ward. I will definitely
miss them. I feel like I have a very very strong relationship with all of
them. I've loved being able to meet with them, set goals, build each other's
faith and come unto Christ. The Sha Tin ward is amazing! However, I know that
the future is even brighter than the past. Like Christ mentions, no man with
his hand to the plough looking back is fit for the Kingdom of God; I'm
definitely looking forward to the upcoming things and put my trust in Christ.
I feel like these 4 months in Sha Tin have really taught me about Charity. I
feel like when I was in Tsuen Wan I had a really good relationship with the
ward, but in Sha Tin, I feel like I have a SPECTACULAR relationship with
the ward. Us Missionaries and the ward have really been putting our efforts
together in order to bring more people to Christ; and I now get to take those
things I learned here in Sha Tin, and apply them in my new area!
I have put a lot of emphasis in my personal study on really "digging
deep" into the scriptures. Reading through Jesus the Christ has
definitely helped me understand Christ's teachings in the 4 gospels. Cross
referencing/re-reading certain parts have also played a big role in being
able to get a more in depth look at things. The teachings of the Book of
Mormon are just incredible. Alma,
while talking to his son Helaman talks about after "tasting" of the
gospel, the desire to share it. The Book of Mormon's usage of words is
incredible. Every word, every sentence is there for a specific reason and
purpose; and even more incredible, when put all together, we have the fullness
of the Gospel. The Book of Mormon is true. It is a powerful witness of Jesus
Christ, coupled with prayer it is single-handedly the most powerful tool in
not only investigators conversion, but in ourselves. I absolutely LOVE the
Book of Mormon. If everyone could just truly ponder and read it for
themselves they could understand and feel the happiness that only the Book of
Mormon, the fullness of the Gospel, can bring!
Love you all!
