Well, I like to tell the long versions of the story of how Brad and I are, but this one has to be short because school is quite demanding.
It's been such a journey adjusting to our new life here in Georgia. Finally getting the hang of driving around Atlanta. Now, we are trying our best to ovoid driving to downtown Atlanta haha.
Sooner or later Brad and I knew we will be getting a calling in our ward, so we did. We are called to be ward missionaries!! I do feel like this calling is just for me. I love sharing the gospel, but this time I can share it directly and more productively. I met couple of potential investigators that are such an amazing people. They are so inspiring and full of potential. Listening to their life story and believes about Christ is like a refreshment to my soul. I fell in love with those people. After listening to their story, sister missionaries and I would just jump up and down with excitement knowing that they are ready to accept the gospel. Though, those potential investigators can't see yet the happiness and joy of what gospel can bring into their family.
You want them so madly to experience it but can't until they open their hearts to it. Some, sadly, closed their hearts and doors to the gospel, but some do come around and receive the gospel. Couple of Sundays ago, on fast and testimony meeting, we had two of our investigators come and bear their testimony why they like the church. One investigator shared that one night he did something that compromised his family life, so he went home and prayed to Heavenly Father to help him change, so sister missionaries knocked on his door couple of minutes later. I just love this gospel and what LDS church bring into my life.
Life is hard and we all know it! There are times in my life where I taught nothing can shake my faith... right! With everything screaming to get my attention, like television, Ipad, cell phone, neighbors, friends, family, church, cleaning the house, school and work can become overwhelming! At times I just loose the balance of what is most important. I keep learning that, even whole bunch of church talks and scriptures said it, that to keep Heavenly Father our first priority than everything else will follow. Things always work out when I balance things right. Sometimes, I wonder when am I ever going to truly learn this lesson. Sometime we loose faith that we start asking "what if's" questions, and that is where we loose our faith. We put our "common sense" as a priority, like school instead of Heavenly Father. I know it's easier said than done. The only scripture that pops in my head is Prob. 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
(I almost think this post is just for me to remind me to have enough faith that everything will work out. My own reminder to myself)
Nevermind, it turned into a long story.
