Letter 4/29/13

Dear Family, What a great week we've had. I swear these weeks are going faster and faster! I can't believe that this transfer is almost over! That means I only have 8 weeks left with my sweet companion. She has taught me so much about being happy all the time. Kinda like Raddon :) She is just so great! This week we didn't teach very many lessons but we did knock on a lot of doors and we are slowly bursting our bubbles. Both of us are pretty shy when it comes to talking about the Gospel to random people. Sister Mckee said something really great the other day in companion study. She said, "I don't know why we fear rejection so much. Jesus Christ himself came to preach this same gospel and He was crucified because of it. We really don't have anything to worry about." How true it is! The worst thing that can happen to us is they will say no, slam the door in our face, and continue to live in sin. Agency is a wonderful gift from our Father in Heaven and we need to respect that. As a mission we have been studying the Gospel of Jesus Christ, lesson 3 in Preach My Gospel Chapter 3. I have been studying the blessings of living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In Preach My Gospel there are MANY blessings mentioned but the one that sticks out to me the most is the ability to have the spirit with us at all times. Having a member of the Godhead with us at all times. There are many blessings in that 1 blessing alone! Well, I hope everyone is doing well! Thank you all so much for your prayers and letters! Love, Sister Hamblin
