Friends friends friends,
I NEVER SENT MY WEEKLY LETTER LAST WEEK!! My sincerest apologies. I shall endeavor to not procrastinate.... oops
This week I was reflecting on Heavenly Father's plan for us. Obviously, He is much smarter than I am, so I've been trying to catch up with Him a bit and understand His point of view for everything. So here's what I got.
God uses His imperfect children for His perfect plan. Duhhhh Sister Morrison! Well yeah but I just love that. I love how He chose to give us our agency and send us to Earth even though He knew we would fail SO much. Seriously, I do it 20 times a minute! (Quick reminder that we have always learned better from our mistakes than our successes- but maybe that's just me?) But He chose to! The best part is that SOMEHOW imperfect can be used to create perfect. I don't know how He does it, (obviously,) but I just stand in awe of it. I love Heavenly Father for being so patient and loving with me through my stumblings.
Next thing I learned, and it goes off of the whole "imperfect people" part of that first lesson. God is not waiting for you to arrive at some self-designated place of improvement. He's ready now. You're ready now! We often give ourselves goals and plans. I think, at some point in the future, I'll be the best missionary I can ever be! In all honesty, the best missionary I'll ever be is when I'm getting on the plane and coming home. You may think, someday, I'll be the best husband/ father or wife/mother I can ever be! Again, madames and sirs, you are the best you can be. Right now. Just because there's room for improvement, doesn't mean you aren't good enough at this point in time. Please, my beloved friends, stop ignoring the progress you have already made. Don't put down or neglect to see what God has crafted you into this far. It's BEAUTIFUL. You made it! You're here! Keep building on this beauty. The foundation is set! The frames are wonderfully built! Don't knock down the house because you haven't finished yet.
Do I make any sense whatsoever? I hope so. I'm really trying to help you understand something that made me smile and thank the Lord for this week.
Okay also. An update. TRANSFERS! (The bold is for all the people who skimmed through so they can find the juicy bits. Hint they're actually right above this section.)
Sister Whitcomb and I are.......staying together!! I'm super pumped!! I love this area, I love the members, I love the people we are teaching, and I LOVE my companion. Woohoo! We bought matching necklaces to celebrate. We're cute 💁🏻♀️
Also, more news: we have Spanish Hermanas coming to join the Gburg Crew. For now, it's only through technology, but they're looking for housing now. I actually came to the Maryland Baltimore mission with one of 'em! So that's a fun little reunion!
1 Pierre 1:8
"Lui que vous aimez sans l’avoir vu, en qui vous croyez sans le voir encore, vous réjouissant d’une joie ineffable et glorieuse"
I don't got much else for you! Hope you all have the best week of your lives and you stay extra safe, and super happy!!
Câlins et bisous, Sœur Morrison
Onward and Upward
Que Dieu vous bénisse
