Revelation.

Tue 3/17/2015 12:31 PM

So, I hit my halfway mark tomorrow, and I cannot believe that. I just wanna cry. I don't want my call as a missionary to end, ever. I do know that I will continue in the work after I get home in a million years.

 

Our mission had Elder Hamula of the 70 speak to us this last Friday. He taught us about revelation. Something huge I took out of it was how Faith all lies on trust. Here's how faith works to me.

 

Knowledge-> Hope->Action-> Personal Witness. Need I say more? Trust lies in the middle of it all. We need to trust that God will help us. That he answers prayers, 'cause he does!

 

Hence, where my faith has come into play about getting a baptism this transfer. I know what I need to do, and I am, but I'm simply trusting it all in the hands of the Lord. 

 

 

I learned something that's so simple, but finally clicked for me. When we receive revelation, it's not necessarily a huge storm or those things the scriptures may talk about. We have to ACT on our Faith and ask questions that we'll act upon. We can receive it through the scriptures or through someone and something they say. Isn't the gospel just so simple? I don't understand why people make it look or seem harder than it really is. This is God's work and gospel- not man's. That's something huge to realize. Sometimes, it's tough for us to see the bigger picture, but that's why we have to act on our faith and the knowledge that we do already have and let it guide us through. Acting by following God's commandments and doing what we know we should be doping. The right things. 

 

We found out Elder Russell M. Nelson from the Quorum of the 12 is coming to the WA-SPO mission towards the end of the transfer. Our mission is preparing. We're all being 200% exactly obedient, and working SO hard until he comes. I've learned the importance of obedience, and how it draws us closer to God. I have a testimony of it.

 

Gotta go, but have a great week!
