I got to meet President Fitzgerald, and he is awesome! I am really excited for them. We had a mini zone conference on Thursday when they came in. They introduced themselves and started right off the bat talking about the spirit. The importance to have the spirit in lessons; how to teach with the spirt; how to always have the spirit with you. It was amazing. It really gave me the inspiration to start working hard.
That's exactly what we did, we started working even harder. This past week was amazing. We found and talked with everyone we crossed paths with. I'm blessed to have a good companion. At church we had 2 people come, which is awesome! We then had a less active/part member family come to a ward activity. I was so excited when I heard that; we heard it from a counselor in the Bishopric because we weren't there.
Lastly, I wanted to share a quick spiritual thought. For the past 6 months or so I've been bummed and sad. I've been thinking a lot about myself. Recently, in my studies this week I was reading in 2 Nephi 4, which is when Lehi dies, then Nephi shares his testimony/feelings. I was reading 2 Nephi 4:28 and Nephi says, "Awake, my soul! No longer droop in sin. Rejoice, O my heart, and give place no more for the enemy of my soul."
I don't know if I've had a scripture jump out to me as much as this one did in a very long time. Here I have been drooping in my feelings of sadness. Awake, awake, awake....awake my soul. I no longer want to droop in sadness or even sin. I want to experience joy through Jesus Christ. "Rejoice", I said, "because Jesus Christ has overcome."
What can you/I do more to rejoice in goodness?
What do you do to rejoice in the goodness of God?
How do your actions reflect how you view the Atonement of Jesus Christ?
