Today Sister Alvey and I got to go to the Temple❤️ It is always such a powerfully peaceful experience to be in the house of the Lord.
This week we had Zone Conference which was focused on the Book of Mormon. We also had exchanges with the Amity Sisters right after. I love being able to be a leader because it gives me the opportunity to stretch myself and also to learn from all the excellent missionaries whom with I have the pleasure of interacting.
Christina and her family continue to progress! They are an example of difficult circumstances turning you to the Lord. I love them and know that God loves them and is guiding their family to where true happiness can be found.
Sadly a different family whom we have been teaching decided they didn't want to be taught anymore. I know God loves them just as much. Sometimes it is frustrating when people choose to go in a direction that you know is not the best. But then I'm reminded of the gift of agency and the fact that we all fought for this right.
I recently reread a talk from this last conference on the subject of Agency and absolutely love it! I highly recommend reading or listening to it. https://www.lds.org/study/general-conference/2018/10/choose-you-this-day
Here is an quote that stood out to me...
"Our Heavenly Father’s goal in parenting is not to have His children do what is right; it is to have His children choose to do what is right and ultimately become like Him." -Dale G. Renlund
Agency is such an essential part of God's plan, and a lot of people do not understand it. Without this key knowledge they wonder why bad things happen, or what's the purpose of life. I am grateful for the knowledge that I have, of Agency being a part of God's plan, because of the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I love you all and hope you have a great week!
