Stories from Ruth # 50

She has been out for 1 year now!!!

 

This week I was very salty. Well actually I ate brownies that were very salty. They accidently used salt instead of sugar. It was a lot of fun though. Sister Wilcksn and I have both been pretty sick, but we are still alive and working.

We had a lesson with Gilbert which is always good! He keeps all the commandments and likes the Book of Mormon! He told us that he beleives it is true. He said he did not really feel any different though, because he already read, and prayed, and kept the commandments before we had met him. Sister Wilcken, Daniel ( a member), and I all felt prompted to teach him about sacrifice, and we need to ask God what we need to do and change to receive an answer from him. Sister Wilcken talked about Abraham and Isaac, how he was willing to sacrifice everything to God. I talked about the rich young man and how just like Gilbert and I, had kept the commandments from his youth up, but he lacked selling all he had to go and follow Christ. We all must ask God and Jesus Christ what it is we must leave to know God and receive answers from him. If we are not truly willing to sacrifice everything for God do we really love him? We are to leave the world and follow Christ. Daniel shared his life story and it went really well. We all learned a lot that lesson.

We had zone conference on Thursday. There were three zones there. It was really good! All the

trainings were telling us to follow Christ and how we need to share the Boom of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is God's tool to gather scattered Israel. This is his way of fulfilling that promise. I see it everyday in this work.

On Friday we helped clean up Lianne's garden. There was a spiders nest and they were massive! Ah! It was so scary! Especially when I found a spider in my hair... Sister Wilcken accidently cut Lianne's precious and prized verbeena! Luckily forgiveness is real.
The scripture for this week is:

Moroni 7:26 "And after that he came men also were saved by faith in his name; and by faith, they become the sons of God. And as surely as Christ liveth he spake these words unto our fathers, saying: Whatsoever thing ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is good, in faith believing that ye shall receive, behold, it shall be done unto you."
