Hey all you wonderful family and friends!!
I just want you all to know that i love you so much! You are
all in my prayers! This week was quite a week.
First off we have met this amazing women. Our bishop told us
all about her and asked us to go and see her. So we have started teaching her.
She has studied the LDS faith for a long time and wants to raise her family in
the church and go out to BYU. She has done a lot of studies on strong healthy
families and she told us that the LDS familys have the highest rate of
stability out of all the other faiths. We come in at 98% and the next closest
one is 68%. Holy cow! But i cant totally understand why that is! But anyway she
is just like a sponge with everything we share with her. So she was
going to come to church on sunday but we got a text from her that told us her
parents are completely against her joining the church. She told us that she is
going to have to wait until she goes out to Utah to get baptized. But we keep
prayin for her. We know that God will take care of her. Miracles
are always happening!!!
This week I was studying a lot about faith. I am sure you
all have read the chapter in the Matthew about Jesus Christ and Peter walking
on water. It was so fantastic! I think i have talked about his before but when
i was little i always thought it would be so cool to walk on water and told
myself that one day i wanted to have enough faith to walk on water. So i really
love this part of the bible. But anyway as Jesus comes to his diciples in the
ship Peter Calls out to him and tells him that if it is him then to tell him to
come out to him on the water. So the Lord tell Peter to come to him so Peter
looks at Jesus and steps out of the boat and walks on the water. Then he turns
his head towards the winds and the waves that are coming and starts to sink.
But he quickly cried out to the Lord and the Lord immediately reaches out to
him and pulls him back up. I thought we could relate that to our lives cause
there is no doubt that winds and waves will come our way in life but as we stay
focused on the Savior we will have the faith to get through them. But those
times when we do start to doubt as we cry out to the Lord he will immediately
reach out and pull us back up. But it all starts with the courage to take that
first step out of the boat to increase our faith. I know that Jesus Christ is
our Savior i know he wants us to be successful in the things that we are doing
in life. I know that he has a plan for each of us to grow our faith to one day
be able to walk on water.
So that is a little bit of what is going on here in the
greater cincinnati. I sure love hearing from you all. Have a fantastic safe
week. Know that i love you all so so much!!! :)
