Happy Tuesday!! I have finally made it to the Priesthood
Restoration Site and I am loving it here so much! The highlight of the week was
reuniting with Sister Reynolds! And I get to live with her so I am definitely
living my best life! I have been here for about a week, and this first week has
been so crazy!
The first day I got here, some of the sister had left
with our car keys so all of my things were locked in a car for a whole 24
hours.
And then that next day I got proposed to! I won't tell
the whole story, but just to clarify, I did say NO. haha Saturday was my fourth
day and that was for sure so scary. I was still pretty new here and trying to
still learn everything, but then a huge group of 50 people came. And guess who
was part of that group, Hank Smith! And I had to take him on a tour, by myself.
Man was that stressful.
After the whole thing was done, I honestly had no idea
how I was able to answer all the questions and share everything I needed to.
The scripture D&C 11:21 was so true to me that day. It says, " Seek
not to declare my word, but first seek to obtain my word, and then shall your
tongue be loosed; then, if you desire, you shall have my Spirit and my word,
yea, the power of God unto the convincing of men."
There was no way that I was able to share all those
things without the help from the Holy Ghost and from God. His grace is so real
and He really does bring things to our remembrance. I had heard these things so
many times from tagging along on so many tours, but I could never retain all of
the information.
God is so real and I am so grateful that He makes weak
things strong.
I have seen that be so true from these past 5 months. It
is only through Him that we can do all things, and I know that to be true.
Also super cool fact I learned while being here: 70% of
the Book of Mormon was translated from an ancient language here in Harmony,
Pennsylvania. Today, it takes about 5 years to translate the Book of Mormon to
any other language. How amazing is that! Joseph Smith truly was able to do all
of these things by the gift and power of God.
I hope you all have an amazing week!
