Week 86: "Hear Him" 4/6/2020

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give a quick hello! It was a great week, especially this weekend as we had the chance to listen to general conference. I enjoyed every minute of it and there is no doubt in my mind that my testimony of this Gospel was strengthened. I am super grateful for the peace and comfort that was definitely granted to us through the conference. it reminds me of the scripture in John where it states "peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid!" The truth of that scripture was clearly emphasized not in word, but in feelings as I watched the conference. Christ truly is the source of peace and he can make things that may bring doubt and discouragement feel invisible to us. It's such a blessing! 

I am also grateful for the opportunity that we get to fast as a WORLD this upcoming Friday! I am definitely looking forward to it and I know that as we reach out to the Lord, he will grant us with many blessings! I invite you all to do the same. 

Well, other than another week of being quarantined in our house, we had a pretty good lesson with James Walter's once again where we went through the entire plan of salvation. He is a strong Christian man with a huge background in theology, so explaining the concepts of the plan of salvation was a bit challenging. He is kinda uncertain when it comes to a few things, especially life after death. He is a firm believer in the heaven or hell and that's it idea. So we had to work hard to get around that. I just remember the most powerful part of that was when we talked about how much God really does love us, how he grants everyone a chance to recieve the Gospel because he is a just God. He wants us to live with him even when we constantly disappoint him through our actions, and he has given us the Savior to change our hearts, minds, and desires. We gave him some stuff to think about until the next time we talk virtually which will be sometime next week. 

Well, I'm glad to have gotten through another week! Not going to lie, it's super hard having to stay in all day, it makes time go by super slow and it makes you feel so unproductive, but I know this is what we need to do in order to conquer this pandemic! I hope everyone is safe and healthy! I love you all! 

Love,
