The Lord is my Light!

ciao tutti!

This week i have a hymn that sums up my week. The lord is my light!
The lord is my light then why should I fear?


We felt the need to make treats for our investigators and some members
this week so we made tiramisu (without coffee). We prayed over who
needed it and God he led us to those people. One members was in need
of that gentle reminder that if we search for the light we can find
it. The coolest thing of all.....it was raining. Hard. And we were on
bikes....we wanted so badly to make it to ersi and Enidas house. We
prayed the whole ride to the church and we went back to their house
and knocked. Their mom let us in and we gave them the very wet
tiramisu. We said a prayer that filled their dark little house with
light.

My companion Sorella Visconti shared this amazing scripture with me
this morning that made me feel that light even more. The things we
can't see are eternal! Charity! Love! Peace! I know that the light of
the lord is here if we search for it. It is more a feeling then
something to see.

One verb I really love in Italian is sentire. This verb means to
hear...but it also means to feel. There was a cute American visiting
our ward on Sunday who bore her testimony while a brother translated
into Italian for her. After another brother came up to her...he said
in English..."I'm grateful that I could feel your testimony. "
How incredible. The love of God and Christ is something we feel. We
can choose to feel it. It comes with an open heart.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to help others feel that love. I know
I'm a daughter of God. He cares about me more than I know. I hope you
friends back in Idaho or where ever you are know that you matter and
take time this new year to search for that love and help other feel
it.

2 cor 4
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish,
yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us
a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but
the things which are not seen are eternal.
