What a week we've had! We have seen many miracles and I am so happy
here in Brooklyn!! I LOVE it here! I can't believe how much I have
fallen in love with New York since coming here. This is a hard place
but it is filled with greatness and so much JOY! There are many
challenges here that are unique and almost unexpected but they are
bringing us so much excitement! I LOVE MISSIONARY WORK!!! Ok sorry I
just got a little excited... My bad :)
Ok but seriously, this week has been amazing! I feel as if I am
finally getting the hang of missionary work. I have felt so happy
these past few weeks here in Brooklyn and I am finding that through
the aid of our Redeemer I can do all things. I am slowly becoming more
and more "fearless" and am experiencing "exceedingly great joy"
because of it. I love watching scripture apply to me as I "consider
the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of
God." I love it further as I realize that the reason that I am so
happy is because of my obedience my love for my Father in Heaven is
increasing. Through this I am better able to show that love to our
fellowman! It is so exciting. I obviously still have a lot more
learning and growing to do but I am excited to see progress in the
right direction.
Sister Hodgson teaches me so much on a daily basis. She has a way of
making sure that things go according to plan that I need to keep me on
track. Our district is doing a 40 day fast of those things that "poke"
at our spirits and prevent us from being able to really do the Lords
work here in New York. Sister Hodgson is so supportive of my personal
goals and I am so grateful for that. She is just an wonderful
missionary. She is an amazing teacher! She knows the points of the
lessons and knows how to explain things simply so that those we are
teaching are better able to understand. I am so grateful again to be
serving here in Midwood with her. Man missionaries are so great!
Ok have a fantastic week!!!!
