Suzie Cox's LDS Missionary Blog: The Earth is More Obedient than You

We were knocking on doors and found this street. Neet.

This week I was reading in the book of Helaman about one of the Nephis, another Nephi with a lot of faith. "Their names invite them to pattern their lives after their forebears." (And vs 6) Helaman spoke to his sons and basically said I gave you these names so that you will remember them, the things they did, and that they were awesome. And this Nephi was a great example to me of faith this week. He prayed they will have famine instead of war. That happened. Then they repent. He asks that the famine ends. It ends. it all happens because of his great faith and willingness to ask. I understand a bit more now why people name their kids after cool people.

Sister Tang and I have made goals to have greater faith this week. It has been a struggle.

A man at the mental health institution made us these paper flowers. ♥

Also in Helaman I read:

1 And thus we can behold how false, and also the unsteadiness of the hearts of the children of men; yea, we can see that the Lord in his great infinite goodness doth bless and prosper those who put their trust in him.

TRUE

12:

7 O how great is the nothingness of the children of men; yea, even they are less than the dust of the earth.

8 For behold, the dust of the earth moveth hither and thither, to the dividing asunder, at the command of our great and everlasting God.

9 Yea, behold at his voice do the hills and the mountains tremble and quake.

10 And by the power of his voice they are broken up, and become smooth, yea, even like unto a valley.

11 Yea, by the power of his voice doth the whole earth shake;

12 Yea, by the power of his voice, do the foundations rock, even to the very center.

13 Yea, and if he say unto the earth--Move--it is moved.

Summed up,this was a nice wake up call, a good motivator. "Hey, the earth is more obedient than you." So move.

So this week:

- We fasted this week for Peggy, hoping she will make the commitment for baptismo soon.

- The families in our ward have been giving lots of referrals this week. Grateful for their trust.

- We had short exchanges, I was with Hermana Brooks, from Morgan, UT I already adore her. See fotos.

Hermana Beautiful Brooks

-It was really hot this week. Up to 117 Saturday. Neat.

-The people here are still wonderful

- This mission is able to do online proselyting now, so my facebook account will be active. So weird. I will update you more soon about it all, we have zone conference this week and will have trainings on using it in missionary work.

Have a great week everybody. Happy Labor Day!
