I read other Sister Missionary blogs.
Whatofit.
They are so inspirational.
They remind me that it isn't about me at. all. Like 0%. Like I am the least part of the equation when it comes to missionary work. It is Heavenly Father and His child and the Savior and His brother or sister. I am the blessed one who gets to be in the middle of the most amazing, let me repeat, THE MOST AMAZING, (and beautiful and incredible and unbelievable and and and...) life change that anyone could ever, ever have.
You could say I'm a
Go ahead.
"You are a blessed girl."
I KNOW AND IT BLOWS MY MIND. Absolutely blowsss my mind awayyyy. I live the most beautiful life that I never deserved.
P.s. YOU are a very blessed person, as well. Indeed.
Go ahead, you say it to yourself. It's true! :)
ANYWAYS. My friend Cece, who is currently in the MTC going to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, wrote some beautiful words.
"Something Elder Holland's grandson said I thought was interesting - Jesus sacrificed not only so that we could be with Him, but so that He could be with US. He wanted the joy that only comes with family. :)
JOYCE TRAN this is for you - Elder Holland said "This is REAL LIFE. This is as real as your life is gonna get. You will never be closer to God, if you do this right. You will never be as close to the Way the Truth and the LIFE."
He also promised us that there is nothing more important that we could be doing. By definition, this is the most important thing we will ever do. Other things might equal it in importance, but nothing will ever exceed in importance the work of salvation. This is, after all, what God spends ALL of His time doing. Everything God does is devoted to saving His children. It's incredible & humbling to be engaging with God in this His most important work - to bring about eternal life for all of His children."
MMMMMMM.
P.S. A very big shout out to one of my besties, Ally Bjarnason for getting her mission call to COLORADO, COLORADO SPRINGS! She is going to be absolutely amazing.
Countdown is 2 weeks, 2 days
