I pray and hope that all my friends and family are doing well.
This week: Honestly it was pretty hard. Many of our good friends are not wanting to meet with us anymore and that is so sad. I know that this gospel brings the fullness of joy!!! So it is sad when others dont want it. This week I asked my companion why I cant just shove the feelings in their heart. Well it doesnt work that way. It can be frustrating but I know why I am here. As Elder Bednar informed us...we are here to share our testimony through the Holy Ghost and try to crack the heart a little...we cannot force our testimonies or feelings on anyone.
I know I have a loving Father in Heaven. He knows my thoughts and heart perfectly. Sometimes it is hard to feel His presence. Sometimes we may feel like he is playing hide and seek with us. That can be frustrating but I know that our answers will come with time. I know our hearts have to be open to receive an answer. And answers do not always come in the obvious ways. We are agents not objects as Elder Bednar said. He have to act and do our part or we will receive nothing in return.
Acts 17:29
Miracle: It was beautiful to have some of our great friends in church this week and how open their heart was to the spirit of God.
Another miracle: Koffi John will be baptized this Saturday. He is a friend of our investigator Mary. One day we were going to the park...we saw Mary and Bimbo about 50 yards away and we just started running and yelling for them. We then walked with them in the park and met Koffi John, one of the happiest people in the world. We are so excited to see him make this amazing covenant with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. His heart was opened and now he will have even more joy!!!!
Hope you all have a great week!!! Keep finding those miracles.
Love Sorella Skinner
