an i can not even remember what has happened this last week. But i do have a story to tell ya :). So it started off a few days ago we had a district meeting on the will of God and our will. And what one we are really focusing on right now on our mission. So that came as a little rebuke to me. And oddly enough the next day during my personal studies i was reading a talk by Elder D. Todd Christofferson, it was all on the atonement, i cant remember the name of the talk right now but it was in the October 2011 Conference. And it makes a very profound statement in there, and it goes something like this, as much as we pray for grace in the repentance process we should pray for the opportunity and the time to repent. So that is when the thought of Turning my will to God came back to mind. So ever sense that i started to pray for the opportunity to repent and turn my will over to go more fully. And it seemed like nothing was changing I was still focusing all the work o the people and centering things on our Savoir Jesus Christ, nothing changed so i kept going and just kept praying for the same thing. So Monday rolled around and it was all normal just starting to get ready for the dreadful week 6. So a while ago I had asked President Johnson if i was staying for another Transfer and he had said yes, but after i was done emailing you all last week President Johnson asked if he could talk with me alone. So he took me in to his office and asked me if i was willing to do all that the Lord asks me to do, so with that kind of questions you know that something is gonna happen. So i said yes and he continued to tell me that i was needed else where in the mission for the time being..... Never before had my stomach been so twisted and flipped upside down in my life! Through all the trials and the wading through tribulation i had finally found success in this area we have 3 people set with a date all super solid as well Nick, Suzanne, and Jordan. The ward here is one of those wards that i have grown to love with all my heart. All these negative thoughts came rushing in to my head when that was all i focused on was the fact that i was being pulled from all the great things that have happened here in the area. I was honestly really hurt and just frustrated. So when i went home I just knelt down and asked our Father what was happening i was doing so good here! I finally got the balance between doing the work and office work. And all that came to mind was the fact i had prayed to have the opportunity to turn my will to God. Here it is my turn to turn my will over to God :) Our Father in Heaven will answer your prayers. I know it and i will never forget it.
Well This week i feel like i have run around with our heads chopped off and its getting fun ;). We havent been able to do a lot besides plan and prepare for MLC and get ready for transfers. So its been a crazy crazy week! Oh i guess i should tell ya where i am going huh? Well i am going to a zone leader again down in the washington ward here. I will only be like 30 mins away from this area here. Its all in the same stake so it will be awesome i will still see some of the same people! Well It sounds like everyone there is living life to the fullest huh ;) Well i have a lot of pictures this week and just not a lot to say besides that story there :). Its amazing when you can make some of those big ties to the gospel and your day to day life. We should all look for those and thank God for blessing us so much each and every day! I love you all! I love you all!!
