This week was awesome! We have been so busy, but that is the best when it comes to missionary work, so worth it! I did get sick again so please keep me in your prayers! I just wanna be well!
Honestly, it was a pretty normal week, nothing too crazy or out of the norm happened. We met some AMAZING members who love helping us find new people to teach. And who love feeding us!! (I swear I'm gonna gain so much weight on my mission, just wait hahaha)
We did have a super cool experience and event that we got to go to this week! Our mission did another Why I Believe event and the person who spoke at it was the lead actress in the movie "The Fighting Preacher"!!! She shared her story with us and it was absolutely faith building! She talked about some of her mental health trials and how she found Jesus Christ. It was so cool to hear her testimony and experiences because it reminded me of some of my own.
There have been times in my life where I have felt far from my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I felt like I was calling out to them, but getting nothing in return. Those were some of my scariest moments ever. I was frustrated because I had heard that when there is no one else, Christ and God is there. But I wasn't feeling that. I was feeling abandoned. THEN I read 3 Nephi 22:8. It says, I"n a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment, but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer." I fell in love with this scripture because it helped me to know that God was still there even when it felt like He wasn't. Sometimes God lets us struggle, so that we can learn and grow and trust Him. I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who lets me struggle so I can find Him on my own. It makes me stronger, and the reward is well worth it.
SO, if you ever feel alone, just know you aren't. Jesus Christ is there. God is there. They love you, and they trust you. Trust them!!!
Thank you for the Birthday wishes and support! I love you all so so so much!!!!
Love, Sister Brady
