Hello Everyone!
Sorry we didn't get to email last week. :)
Wow!
We have gone on 4 exchanges in the past 2 weeks. That may not seem like
a lot, but it sure wipes us out! :) We love it though. We love the
sisters we are over. It is amazing to feel how much Heavenly Father loves
them and wants them to be happy.
This past week we had an interesting experience with one of
our members. They are an extremely active family in our ward and we
really admire them. We sat down with a couple, the children were in
bed, and we proceeded to have a lesson following up with their family
mission plan. The sister shared that she was to focus on she and her
husband. We told her that was great! because we must take care and
nourish our own testimonies before we can expect to lift others. We then
asked the sister if she believes that Heavenly Father loves her. Their
was a pause as she became very emotional and expressed doubts that God
even exists. She seemed embarrassed to tell us. Sister McMaster and I
just listened. We told her that we love her. We told her that Heavenly
Father loves her and as she studies and prays, she will feel Heavenly
Father's love for her. We then told her that we do not think any less of
her. She is still one of my heroes.
We walked away from their home with eyes wide open. You never
know who is struggling. You never know what battles are taking place is
someones mind and heart. Only God knows.
I was reminded
of that saying that "greater men than you have fallen." This is so true.
"Woe to those that are at ease is Zion." No one is safe. I am so
grateful for this incredible sister who is facing her doubts and getting
back on the path. She is using the atonement! :)
I know there is a God. I know that He is our Heavenly
Father who loves us. Our testimonies are as elusive as a moon beam.
Take care of them. Work for them, then nourish them. They are our most
powerful tool against the adversary.
I love you all dearly! Have an incredible week!
Love,
Sister Call
