Fear Not

This week was a turn around. Yes a lot of appointments fell through, but that is missionary work. We actually had appointments set though, that is a big step up from last week!! We found 8 new investigators. 8!! 3 families are included in that! Heavenly Father is blessing us for not giving up last week. It is very wonderful. I am so excited for them!!

So I have had a really hard time having confidence in myself lately. So I did a study on it. and I am going to share what I found, because it was very inspirational to me.

FIRST: CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE SCRIPTURES?! If you have a question, or you are struggling with something, go to the scriptures. They have the answer to all the questions you may have. 

Some scriptures I found were Doctrine and Covenants 30:11, 50:41, 67:10, 98:1, 101:36, 136:17

This mornings studies were exactly what I needed. Just about not having fear, trusting in God, and he will help me. 

Doctrine and Covenants 50:41 says: "Fear not, little children for you are mine." 

That right there should be enough. We are His and He is ours. So therefore we can accomplish anything. Just like Nephi says in 1 Nephi 3:7 "I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them." 

God doesn't ask us to do impossible things, and at the same time, "Our Heavenly Father did not put us on Earth to fail, but to succeed gloriously" -Elder Scott

Heavenly Father did not ask me to come on a mission so I could fail, so I could knock on doors all day and no one answer. Yes that is something I will have to do, but I am here to succeed. And success does not mean getting 20 appointments each week or 1000 baptisms while I am here in OK, but success means that I work hard. That I push past my weaknesses so that they can become strengths like it says in Ether 12:27 "I give unto men weakness that they may be humble" I must really need to be humbled because I found a scripture today in Doctrine and Covenants 67:10 that says: "Inasmuch as you strip yourselves from jealousies and fears, and humble yourselves before me, for ye are not sufficiently humble, the veil shall be rent and you shall see me and know that I am- not with the carnal, neither with natural mind, but with the spiritual" 

Lots to think about this week. I am going to try to be more confident in my teaching, in meeting new people, and with the way that I hold myself. Confident but not prideful, because Like Elder Tad Callister says "beware of pride" 

I am constantly working on my own conversion here. I have no Idea  how I am going to help others do so when I am trying to do it myself, but With God anything is possible. 

My district gave me a really nice compliment last week, and said that they have never met anyone who smiles more than me. And I thought to myself, I have not noticed that I was happy in about a week, but hey I can do hard things, and if I can smile when I am down, think about how I will be when I am positive, so I have been trying to be more positive with life. 

Thank you for all the prayers and the love that you always send my way! I love you all so much!!
Love,
