A Firm Foundation
Hallo Alle Sammen!
So very Sorry for not writing a blog post in a couple weeks! Just been super busy teaching and preaching the truth ya know?
Yeah but how is everyone? God bless each and every one of you who read this blog, or who have written me, there are no words for how much I appreciate it. Thank you.
As of lately, we have been hearing tons and tons about people falling away from the gospel.
Literally 5 different families have talked about their children slipping away as of recently, and I have never felt so heart broken in my entire life.
I've been thinking a lot about the issues that people are facing, and the reason people have given for falling away.
While thinking about these things, I have taken advantage of the resources I have as a missionary.
1. I am set apart as a representative of Jesus Christ. With literal power from God.
2. I have 2ish hours to study, practice, learn, and apply the scriptures and doctrine of God's church.
3. Many many many extremely smart and righteous members in my ward, who want nothing more than to help the missionaries.
With these resources as my means of studying and finding out truth, I have come to a few conclusions:
1. "This is a sign of the times."
Gear up people, the Second coming is happening
2. Humans aren't perfect.
3. One of the BIGGEST results I have recieved from members is:
"People often don't want to follow the commandments of God,
so they simply look for fault in our church, and deny the truthfulness of the doctrine."
4. "There is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism—Apostles and prophets are essential to the Church—The Saints are exhorted to live righteously—They are sealed unto the day of redemption."
5. "The Holy Ghost is the only SURE thing on the Planet."
It is the only thing we will have throughout our lives, no matter what.
6."And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things;
therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true."
WATCH THIS. particularly: 31:26--onward.
8. And above all, watch this.
Love you all so much, Have an awesome week, og god helg.
klem,
Søster H
A member has the cutest garden here,
and she let us pick some of the fruit from it!
Look at the size of these things!
Went crab catching last P-dag with some members-too much fun.
Found out this last week that one of my best friends past away, my dear little Sharpie-girl finally went to Heaven to hangout with Oreo. At least members here in Norway, let me hangout with their puppies.
Missing the desert hver dag.
(an Original Salvador Dali painting that I got to hold. Found this guy just banking doors, and he told us to come back the following Friday, he ended up having TONS of sweet art in his house. I love humans.)
One way we celebrated the 4th of July. ;)
