I Will Go And Do

Yooo!! This week was good!! Nothing too crazy happened this week so I'll just give some highlights!

On Valentine's day we heart attacked Michael, Roxanne and Tanja! It was so fun!!! Then for dinner, me and Sister Waite went to the cheesecake factory! It was so fun!!

We finally got in to contact with Murphy, the lady we found a couple weeks ago who walked outside and saw us as we were going to see someone else. We had a super good lesson with her! She hit us with some deep questions so I've been studying those the past couple days! Anyways she keeps begging me and sister Waite to get pepper spray because apparently that apt complex is a hot spot for gangs. They're recruiting 12 year olds and they're walking around holding guns to people and taking their phones and wallets. So, she gave us both pepper spray!

Gary smoked us a whole rack of ribs to take home!

Went to a Spanish baptism on Saturday! I understood about none of it hahah but it was soo cool!!

Spiritual thought:

Nephi and his family were being led out of Jerusalem, his brothers were turning against him and Lehi. They then were asked to go back to Jerusalem and obtain the plates of brass.

7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.

Nephi went through a lot. his brothers were wicked and were turning against him and he was commanded to leave his home because it was about to be destroyed.

But he still says

"I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded"

Sometimes we all feel like the Lord asks a lot of us. Like we're asked to "love thy neighbor as thyself" but it is not always easy!

I hope to be like Nephi and do all that the Lord needs me to do. Even when it's hard. Even when I'm tired.

And just like it says in the end of the scripture "he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them"

I know the Lord provided a way for Nephi to accomplish all that he needed him to do.

I know he will prepare a way for all of us!

I love you all soo much!!! Praying for you all always!

Love, Sister Liljenquist
