Hey!
This was a pretty good week. We went to Winnipeg last week
for our zone conference and it was a really good meeting! We learned all about
the spirit and how important it is in our teaching, it was President and Sister Thomas' last zone conference so that was sad! They are really great people and I will miss them!
This week has been a lot of service.... again haha. I love
it! We got to go out and help with sheep again. That was fun! We also helped
a guy moved. We worked on a couple of yards and I think that was about
it!
We were able to teach a few lessons this week, not as much
as usual, but overall it was a good week. On Sunday it was really good, one of
the less actives we have been working with named Bev Watson gave a talk in
church and another one of the less actives named Susie Campbell, who hasn't been
to church in two years, came! It was so good to see her there and to hear Sister Watson speak. I love working with less active members, its like helping them
rediscover a testimony and its great to see the blessings that come into their
lives because of coming back to church.
This week I was reminded of how much I love reading the
scriptures. I have been reading in the Bible and I started reading in the Book
of Romans, its a great book! I love chapter 5 and 6 where it talks about the
atonement and also about baptism. Chapter 6 talks about how we are baptized and
how we cannot be slaves to sin. Both of the chapters talk about God's love for
us and about His grace. I then read President Uchtdorf's talk about grace and
WOW what an amazing gift it is from God. In there it talks about how grace is
one of the ways that God shows His love for us. It's through grace that we can
become more like Him and we can one day be able to receive the celestial
kingdom! It was a great reminder to me that we can't do all these hard things in
life on our own, we have to rely on the Lord and His grace! He loves us so much
and will always help us when we turn to him! I encourage all of you to read
that talk and also those two chapters they are so good!
Anyways I hope you all have a great week! I want you to all
know that I really do love you so much and I'm so grateful for your support! Thanks for all you have done for me! Love you all!
Love Elder Farnsworth
