Guess what?? Last Thursday we had a mission conference
and S. Gifford Nielsen came! It was so good. So good. Like, it was SO
GOOD. I often feel selfish that I'm here on my mission all by myself and
none of you get to have the experiences I'm having and none of you get
to learn the things I'm learning-at least the way I'm learning them.
Good thing we have emails though! I'll share some things I learned.
Actually
what I said wasn't true. The amazing thing about God and His plan is
that we can all learn every single day of our lives. It doesn't matter
where you are or where you go. God will ALWAYS give you opportunities to
change your life and to learn something new (if you want them). I love
Him for that.
Buckle up.
2 Kings 6:16-17- I love this. We are surrounded by Heavenly Hosts. There are more with us than against us.
The definition of righteous is continually repenting.
The repentance process is just that-a process. But the blessings of repenting are immediate.
You cannot have miracles without opposition.
This is a gospel of miracles.
You are a miracle.
Go be noble and great!
Don't back down from anyone.
The Spirit speaks to you all day long.
Celebrate you differences!
Your companion can not make you mad.
Be prepared to go and GO HARD.
No matter how many times you are rejected, smile and move on.
Proclaim the gospel with a smile on your face.
We have been promised a member of the Godhead 24/7. How can we fail?!
If
you think you're something, you're nothing. We are nothing! We are as
dust. But yet we are worth so much in the eyes of God. We are children
of Him. We are nothing WITHOUT GOD. We are nothing until we realize we
can be something through God. #wearedust #specialdust
After
everything was over, President Fife came up to me and said, "Sister
Beardall, Elder Nielsen wants to interview 3 missionaries and you're one
of the lucky ones!" What??? Let me tell ya, there was some immediate
heart pounding going on. I was thinking, "Why me?? What did I do?"
Man.
I love him. I know he is a man of God. He got to know me a bit and
guess what? His sister? Sister in law? Someone...is a Beardall! Cool. He
gave me some great advice on working in my area and personal advice as a
missionary. He asked if I would like a blessing and I didn't hesitate
to say, "YES!" What a special experience.
We
found 2 new investigators this week! They are actually both from Africa!
They love God. We are so excited to teach them things they haven't
learned before! We know the restored church of Jesus Christ will bring
so much more blessings into their life! We helped one of them clean her
back porch. She is moving soon. She will still be in our ward
boundaries. Good thing! She has strong faith in God. She says, "You
can't be a christian without having faith." Oh yeah! This is Cindy!!! We
found her! Remember when we were #searchingforcindy ?? We found her.
Sister
Sinaga and I have been talking to everyone we pass on the street. (We
talk to them before we pass them...) We met a couple from France who
were backpacking across the world! They were in High Wycombe and were
going to walk to the Airport... That's like a 20 minute DRIVE! So we
gave them some reading material to keep their minds occupied. ;) They
had no religious background or belief in God. Hopefully something will
spark and they will remember that they lived with God before they were
born, and that they chose to come here to become more like Him and
follow the Savior.
Hopefully each of us remember this too.
