This week was good. I can't believe how fast time is going by!! I feel like just yesterday my plane landed in North Carolina, but really that was 6 months ago! It is truly crazy!!
This week we
were able to do some more cleaning in our teaching pool. We did quite a
bit of tracting and found a couple of investigators. Hopefully they will
all continue to progress and desire to learn more. We taught the Plan
of Salvation to one of our potentials. Her name is Betty and she loved
it!! She was squealing for joy when we told her that she can be married
to her deceased husband in the next life as well!! It was so cute!! We
have also been really trying to find the elect through members. Our ward
is really great at helping us with missionary work so now it is our
turn to give back and help them with their missionary work.
This
week I have learned a lot about Heavenly Father's timing. Heavenly
Father is always trying to teach us new things, but He is always doing
it in His timing. Sometimes we want time to either go faster or slower. I
know I catch myself at times wishing that time would go faster so that I
could reach the end results/rewards quicker. However, I have learned
that it won't matter how fast or how slow time is going, Heavenly
Father's lessons will be taught on His time table not ours. In Ether
12:6 it says "...I would show unto the world that faith is things which
are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not,
for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith." Trials
are given to us so that we can learn and grow. That is how our faith
grows. However, simply grinning and bearing it will not work. We have to
be acting and doing the things that Heavenly Father wants us to do. We
have to be sacrificing ourselves for Him.
I
hope that you all have a great week!! I love hearing from everyone and
seeing how you all are doing! Thank you for all of your love and
prayers!! You are all the greatest! I love and miss you so much!!
Love,
Sister Paynter
