This week has been full of amazing things! The Spirit has been so strong this week. Just about leaving my comp and I in tears. There has been so many times in just the few weeks that Ive been here that the Lord has been helping us, answering our prayers. So little of the things do we actually recongize though! Its awesome. Same as in our lives, the Lord is always helping us, even when we dont realize it. He is always giving us exactly what we need.

A lot of walking this week. Our area is decently big, and it is only half the ward. We have 4 missionaries per ward here so thats always fun. The food has been amazing this week. A lot of visiting investigators. A lot of inviting them to church. And how great is the joy when at least one of them comes. Its pretty awesome.

I have learned so much more about faith this week. Faith is not believing that God will deliver you out of your trials when you ask. Faith is not believing that God will make things easier in your difficulties. Faith is believing that God can strengthen you in your trials and He can deliver you from your dificulties. God gives us what we need. And if we could get everything we wanted the whole plan of agency would be defective. We need to trust that the Lord will give us what we need. And we need to trust that His will is what will be more beneficial than anything else. God loves every one of us. No matter what our errors, imperfections, or weaknesses. He loves us. He loves us more than we can imagine. So lets love Him.
