PHO



This week was Super INSPIRING!

Elder Stevenson of the Twelve and Elder Bennett of the Seventy came to
speak to us on Thursday!! They talked about how we can hasten the work
even more. They talked about how we can better promise blessings and
extend invitations, as well as some special direction and help when we
need it. 

I was so grateful to be able to shake an apostles hand! The
moment he walked in the room you could feel the Spirit so strong. It's
crazy how inspired and in-tune these men are with the Spirit. Shaking
his hand only confirmed that he is a man of God. What an example.

I learned a lot and something really stood out to me... Elder
Bennett's talk was on relying on our leaders. Specifically our Mission
President. Our Mission President has Certain Priesthood keys to help
him reside over the Ohio, Columbus Mission. We must rely on him and
trust his advice, direction and decisions. This stuck out to me
because I have received advice from my Mission President that I didn't
quite "like." I have had a few Minor medical issues, and he and his
wife's advice was not something I wanted to take. As a missionary you
are constantly out working, you don't want to stop for anything. I
have had to take a couple breaks advised from a higher authority and I
don't like it haha. But I need to rely on them and trust them. Great
humbling experience.

Reminded me of a quote from the one and only Gordon B. hinckley...."
Believe in yourself. Believe in your capacity to do great and good
things. Believe that no mountain is so high that you cannot climb it.
Believe that no storm is so great that you cannot weather it. … You
are a child of God, of infinite capacity.​​​​"  as I rely on God, I
will have the strength to accomplish any task at hand:) I know this to
be true!

I hope everyone is having a great week!!!! Stay Prayed up!!

Hope the video provides some uplift lol
