Continuing to press forward

Another week has come and gone and I am still surviving. It hasn't been too bad. I'm just glad that we followed the rules as well as we did because President Fenn has allowed us to now gather in groups of four again! It has made everything a little more bearable and much more enjoyable. We've been putting forth our best efforts to continue to be the best missionaries that we possibly can be. It's been hard at times but we've been making due. 

Transfers happened on Monday and then people moved on Tuesday just like last time and I love my new companion. Elder Rawlins is my new companion and we've enjoyed our companionship so far. We started moving him into my apartment at around 4:30ish, and we got finished getting everything of his into my apartment about 5:10. Both of us were very shocked at how fast that we got everything moved. We then had the rest of the evening to do whatever we pleased. It made for a very relaxing evening and very stress-free.

Other than that life's been going forward and continuing to press forward.

Spiritual Thought: This week we're gonna come from Alma 9:25

28 Therefore, prepare ye the way of the Lord, for the time is at hand that all men shall reap a reward of their works, according to that which they have been—if they have been righteous they shall reap the salvation of their souls, according to the power and deliverance of Jesus Christ; and if they have been evil they shall reap the damnation of their souls, according to the power and captivation of the devil.  

I personally read this scripture this morning and to me it really made me think about what our works actually lead towards. As we keep our heads held high, continually making sure that our efforts are within the bounds of Righteousness, we shall be saved at the last day. We must continually ask ourselves, "Would the Lord be pleased with this?" Personally, it's really helped me gain a greater sensitivity to the spirit and it's allowed me to continually grow stronger and stronger in the spirit. I know that as we have the spirit with us we will be able to better measure our efforts and making sure that we do all that is necessary to keep that spirit with us always. I know these things to be true. I know that all of us can gain a better connection with the spirit as we continually "Watch ourselves" and our efforts, actions, thoughts, and words. We will continually be blessed for our efforts. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Well, I hope that all of you continue to have a Fabtabulous week! Y'all are great!

Keep pressing forward!

Love you guys so much!

Stay Awesome!
