I'm not feeling that great today so I apologize for not sending personal responses. I promise to reply next week! We have seen a lot of great things happen this week. Sister Runs Through and I have been getting along very well, we have been setting goals and making plans and all in all being very focused and productive missionaries.
Rajesh is one of the people we are teaching. He wants to be baptized and has been reading the Book of Mormon. He sent us a text telling us how he connected to a specific verse and how it really helped him through a situation he was in. The scripture was 1 Nephi 3:7.
"And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them."
This is a classic scripture and I am so happy that he found it and connected to it on his own! It is also a great reminder for all of us. We all have things the Lord has commanded us to do. But he has not left us alone to do it. He promises to help us, and its not just a 'well I'll try to help' but a promise that He will provide a way to make that thing happen.
I am grateful for this experience I have had on my mission so far, I have learned so much and grown more than I could have ever dreamed. I know I also have a long way to go before I will be the person God intends me to be, but all we can do is try and do our best day by day.
I love you all,
Sister Peterson
