That is so cool about Called to Serve!! (Called to Serve was written for a New Mission Presidents conference, Elder Packer asked the MTC to sing it, they came down the street with flags of ever country singing the song) I love that song so much!! That is so exciting about the New Stake Presidency! (Tyler Kunzler Pres, Kevin Garner 1st Counselor, Dane Allred 2nd Counselor) I know they will do all that Heavenly Father needs!!
I am So grateful for yours and Dad's example of service to the Lord and for your willingness to do what Heavenly Father wants even when you don't understand right now all the reasons. That is something that I am learning- to completely rely on the Lord and trust in His eternal perspective and knowledge. What a blessing it is to know that He has a perfect plan for each of us! And what a blessing it is to allow Him to change us and shape us into the person He needs us to be!! That is something that I have come to realize this week- how important change and progression are and how important it is to be guided by the spirit and to allow the change to make us into the person that Heavenly Father needs us to be. We all can improve every single day and what a blessing it is to allow Him to help us!!
This week was a great week! It is always so crazy how time works and feels haha- last Monday feels like yesterday and yet this week has been so full of changes and so that makes last Monday feel like forever ago! Crazy! But so good!
My new companion is Sister Bleak! She is from Bountiful, UT and is "tall and loves Dogs." She is so awesome and motivated to work hard and it is inspiring! The past few days with her have been so amazing already! On Saturday we were able to go out street contacting and tracting for most of the day and we met some incredible people that were just so kind and said that we could come back! Such good things are happening and I know that this work truly is lead by Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ! Sister Bleak and I will have a great time together and I am excited to see the things that will happen!!
The Spanish sisters that live with us are both staying so that is exciting! They are amazing and we all have way too much fun together!
This week we were able to have a lesson with David! It was so good to meet with him again and to see the progress that he is making!! He loves to study the Book of Mormon and some of his insights are just amazing!! He compared Lehi to Joseph Smith and it was just incredible! He is awesome and we are going to have a church tour with him and we are super excited!!
We also had a lesson with Dominic and Sister Power before church yesterday and it was amazing! Dominic is just so great! He loves going to church and loves how kind everyone is. He has been reading the Book of Mormon and has made it all the way to the end of 2 Nephi! It is amazing to see how just in the past 6 week he has changed! We asked how he feels in comparison to before coming to church and reading the Book of Mormon and he said that he just feels good, like everyday he reads is better and that he is able to be more level headed at work and that life is just better! It is incredible to see his progression! And I couldn't agree more! The gospel just makes life better!!
I am so grateful for the hand of the Lord in each of our lives! I know that He truly loves each and every one of us and that He only wants what is best for us! When change comes, it is an opportunity to improve and become more like He needs us to be! Even when it's hard, because it definitely gets hard! But He is always there and He only wants what is best for us!
I was reading in 2 Nephi 4:20-35 this morning and I feel just like Nephi did. "My God hath been my support; he hath led me through." I know that as we truly trust in Him and do our best to do as He needs, he truly will lead us through!
I love you so much!! I hope that this week is a great one and that all is well!!
Thank you for sending the package! I am so grateful for all that you do for me and for the support and strength you give me!!
I love you so much Mom!!
Love,
Sister Broadbent
