Last Transfer Ever!

So transfer news is that neither Sister Booher or I are getting transferred! My final transfer will be here in Azle! Should be awesome, I'm really excited for what this next transfer is going to bring.

We had a really good week this week! On Monday Logan taught us about the plan of salvation. It was so awesome! He gave us all these awesome hand outs that he came up with by himself. He also blessed the sacrament this week in both the Azle ward and in the YSA. I'm so proud of him! He's going to keep doing amazing things!

We were also able to meet with Maverick again this week. He's gone to the YSA branch twice now and seems to really enjoy it there! We're excited for him. We got to teach him about the restoration and Logan and his mom came to help us teach. They did really well and Maverick and Caleb seem to be good friends already. Logan is truly blessing a lot of people's lives here!

 

We're still trying hard to find more people to teach. We've got some good potentials, we just need to actually be able to meet with them. So yeah that's basically my week.

 

I've definitely learned the importance of always reading your scriptures and just losing yourself in the work this week. Crazy right? I'm a missionary and I still sometimes forget the importance of having effective studies and reading the scriptures. There is an indescribable power that comes from truly reading the scriptures everyday. I didn't even realize that I was slacking off a bit when it came to studies until I had a really hard day and realized that my studies that morning hadn't been very effective. Well I am correcting that. I already feel much happier and more willing to get out there and work. As we draw nearer to the Savior through scripture study and prayer, he draws nearer to us and its a lot easier to be happy and satisfied. Then we are allowing him to help us pull the weight, instead of just foolishly trying to pull it ourselves.

 

Matthew 11:28-30-

28 ¶Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

 

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

 

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

 

As we come unto Christ He truly makes our burdens light, just like he did for Alma and those who followed after him as they were put into bondage by Amulon. (Mosiah 24:12-15) I know that Heavenly Father is anxiously waiting to help us, and the best way to receive all the blessing that he has in store for us is to follow after His son, Jesus Christ. I'm grateful for this knowledge and for the way that it has blessed my life. Have a great week! I love you!
