Joyful In The Ride: Week 35


Florida's Skies Win! Always!
Mom and dad thank you for comforting me this morning. After finishing our email conversation I got up to make cookies for our YSA branch for FHE tonight. I decided to listen to a conference talk while doing so. I said a little prayer and asked God to direct me to something I need to here. I closed my eyes and made it to "Grateful in any Circumstance" by Elder Uctdorf.  
I cannot explain how much I needed that talk. I believe in a way that had to be written for me right now. Ha-ha. 

As for the week! 
A couple of things 

1     BROTHER MA.! A couple of weeks ago while trying to clean up our records we went by Brother Ma.'s home. He answered and quickly wanted to invite us in. Of course we couldn't, we asked him about his activity and he said he joined the church in another state, but upon moving to Florida six years ago, he never came to church here and no one had ever contacted him. And then he called us Saturday night and came to church Sunday! We walked out of sacrament early so I eagerly stood up and chased him outside and to his car. He said he didn't feel well but he was happy he came and Bishop went to see him after!
I made a friend.

     Mr. M is no more.. ha-ha (also for the best) because he got a little creepy. T. is awesome! We're going to see her tomorrow 
          
     We were texting a bunch of formers and we found one who was like "Oh I loved meeting with missionaries! I've moved though" she's still within our area, but it's just barely in the elders area.. same team. But she wants us to come over tonight and start her off on the lessons again.

It's not suppose to say in the beginning God made Mormon.org...
But hey.
We did CHALK art to try to attract some new people.

I just hope you all know how deeply I love this gospel. In the hardest points of my life there has been nothing else that has cured the tempest in my soul. Nothing else. 
God set a plan for us. A plan he wishes for us to find immense joy in, despite the difficulties of the journey.  
At times when "counting the blessings" seems too difficult we can be thankful, I can be thankful at least for God giving me the ability to grow. For loving me enough to hurt me. 
“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed."
We can be thankful for the journey. Joyful in the ride. 
I'm grateful for the journey God has given me.
