Ah-Ha Moments

My Dear Friends and Family:

 I would love to share with you what I wrote to my Mission President as I feel it really sums up what I learned this week.

 

"I'm reporting back to you about God's Identity, Purpose and Destiny, and how setting my own goals for this year with His goals in mind has been enlightening. I felt like this was a topic that came up in discussions and a lot this week. Conversations often went towards receiving personal revelation and how to understand the promptings of the Holy Ghost. My companion and I went to a members home in which we went to teach a lesson, and in turn we left having learned one as well. I learned, and now comprehend, how I can better receive answers to my prayers through simply having the sincere desire to know and act upon the promptings that come into my mind. 

I thought before that people receive answers only sometimes or on occasion when they ask for something in their prayers, but I know now that you will receive revelation ONLY if you are going to do something with the answer you want/need. I also connected that the promptings of the Holy Ghost can be intelligence, not just that peacefully feeling you get, that just happens to be the heart recognizing and agreeing with the Holy Ghost's promptings he's placed in the mind. So this past week I really felt inspired and blessed to receive that tender mercy of knowledge. In knowing that I see how revelation is truly apart of God's Identity, Purpose and Destiny is "to bring about the immortality and eternal life of man" -Moses 1:39"

 

Thanks for bearing with me while I'm starting to experience my Ah-ha moments of The Gospel of Jesus Christ."

 

Also, have Y'all seen 'The Story of the Book of Mormon' I love it so much!  It really is a great testimony of the Book of Mormon and all the happiness it brings and it also has really beautiful scenes of England :)

 

Also Transfers are next week and I feel like I might be going. I've been in Allen for 3 transfers(18 weeks) and I feel like I'm open to stay or to go. Where ever the Lord would have me go.

 

Loving the Gift of the Holy Ghost,
