This week has been really cool. I've been able to spend some time with the local missionaries and we went door knocking. After a while with no success we had a prayer and the next house we knocked on was a member of the Tongan ward here that hasn't been to church in a while. We got to spend some time with them and I learned my first bit of Tongan.
As much as I love it here in the MTC I'm now just super excited to get to Adelaide and to start doing some work in the mission field.
Elder Porio and I have volunteered to sing a duet at this Sunday devotional so that will be pretty fun and then our district is singing again this week too!
Sister Howes enjoyed our musical item so much that she asked us to do it again so that she could record it!
I love personal study that we get to do each morning. I'm learning so much and having a great time.
I met three missionaries from the UK yesterday, which is a cool thing, to meet people from home.

As missionaries we love the people we serve we work our hardest to bring the truth of God's love to people we teach and we encounter and we can give everyone we know our families our missionary companion and our friends the eternal joy of our testimony. Faith gives us the happiness and the eternal joy to bring the blessings of the gospel of Jesus Christ to others and to share the message of Gods love and the truth to all / everyone in our mission. Faith is defined again, here is the definition faith
ReplyDelete"Many believer's feed themselves on what God hasn't done. When I dwell on what hasn't happened, I create the atmosphere for the spirit of offense to arise and to thrive. When I dwell on what hasn't happened, I legitimize unbelief. I live with a sense of justification, for not believing God.
Faith in the purest sense is the ceasing of resistance. even when there's no physical evidence, when the other evidence is present. Not feeding ourselves on what God hasn't done Faith in it's purest form is the absence of resistance
Heaven is a place where everyone is celebrated, some are more honored but everyone is celebrated. All men and all women shall be judged on the light which they have received. Heaven is a permissible culture. God's nature is eternally permissible. These statements protect us from credit.
Faith in the purest sense is the ceasing of resistance, even when there's no physical evidence, when the other evidence is present. Not feeding ourselves on what God hasn't done. Faith in it's purest form is the absence of resistance. Faith doesn't deny a problems existence, it denies it's influence. He or she was someone whom aridity and desolation never disturbed for he or she had a deeply rooted, and a vigorous faith.
Now we can act as we have always dreamed. Now we can act as we have always been. Now we can step into the light and gather the sunlight instead of blocking out our possibilities. Instead of blocking out our joy. Variety will bloom in/under the sun. We can show off our best, we can enjoy other people's gifts. We can blossom where we stand upon the joy that faith provides us. Upon the joy that faith inherently has, which blossoms the entire field of flowers."
