3-0!!!
Hi to all my favs! First and foremost, 3-0, BYU is cracked. I know I just sent out an email like 3 days ago, but I know y'all are just dying for this email, so here you go!! JKJK, this one is gonna be below mid, but Mel insists on me writing them!!
Not too much happened this week after Thursday other than I've been pretty sick, so that's been a little tough. We still have been grindin' trying to find the elect!!
We had another lesson with our boy Abdikarim, which was solid! He is definitely searching for the truth and has a lot of really good questions!
We have some good things this upcoming week that I am stoked about!!
As a mission a couple of weeks ago, we studied the talk "Lord I believe" by Elder Holland, and of course, Holland is my favorite, so this was EXTRA good!!
He says,
"Let me be clear on this point: I am not asking you to pretend to have faith you do not have. I am asking you to be true to the faith you do have. Sometimes we act as if an honest declaration of doubt is a higher manifestation of moral courage than an honest declaration of faith. It is not! So let us all remember the clear message of this scriptural account: Be as candid about your questions as you need to be; life is full of them on one subject or another. But if you and your family want to be healed, don’t let those questions stand in the way of faith working its miracle."
Then he says,
"In this Church, what we know will always trump what we do not know. And remember, in this world, everyone is to walk by faith."
Our faith is always enough. We just have to believe.
God ALWAYS prevails; we have to let Him!
I invite you all to LISTEN to this talk this week and think of a time that you've had to rely on your faith and reflect on the growth you've made.
"Lord, I Believe"
I love you all!!!
Love, Sister Liljenquist
*Here are some quotes from the past couple of weeks!
Me pulls out an Oregon shirt at service
Sis Cowley: hits the shirt "Ew, no one likes Oregon... they're a bunch of cheaters."
Sister Francis: "I have a question... how do you get over being overwhelmed?"
Sister Worthington: "You cry about it."
Me: "How do you feel that everyone's at transfers right now?" I get serious FOMO from missing transfers.
Sis Cowley: "I feel blessed because no one gets to see you except for me."
Sis Almond drawing a grid on the board for district council.
Elder Lau: "The lines are straighter than I am; you're fine."
Sis Almond: "What does that even mean?"
Randy (recent convert): "If you ever see me wearing clogs, put a bullet to my head."
Sis Cowley: "Who needs teeth?... Randy sure doesn't." Talking about how I almost broke my teeth on candy. This is funny because Randy has like no teeth.
In district council: Me giving an idea of how to get people to church.
Sis Cowley: "I don't have any ideas; that's why I don't get people to church."
Random kid: "Are you guys Australian?"
Me and Sis Cowley: "No."
Random kid: "Oh, you look like you're from the 1970s."
Paul (recent convert in Indianola):
Car drives past us staring at us.
Paul: "Take a picture; it will last longer!"
Two dudes at service: "Are you nuns?"
Elder Pearson: "I do a good workout every day; it's called getting out of bed."
