Translation of subject title:
I'm a little okay, expect for I'm suffering.
Does anyone else feel like they blinked and May went by? I'm shocked.
HEY EVERYONE! CHUCK GOT BAPTIZED! Turns out Heavenly Father really does love all of His children and makes sure that they are all blessed. Chuck was BEAMING and so so so happy that he was able to finally be baptized and confirmed. He has been particularly excited about getting the gift of the Holy Spirit. He's a pretty shy guy, so he was a little embarrassed about being in the spotlight, but he was happy. So so so very happy. I'm so grateful I was blessed enough to be a part of this journey, to move forward in faith with a sure knowledge that God's work does not cease in any circumstance. I know that He loves each one of His children and has a unique and divinely appointed plan for all of us individually. I'm so grateful for the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation. I feel great peace knowing where I am, why I'm here, and where I'm going.
ALSO, this week we had an amazing Zoom meeting with the one and only, Elder D. Todd Christofferson. He is actually very funny and personable. And he's also one of twelve apostles of the Lord which was super in and of itself. He first asked us to focus on the vine and draw from it. The vine, of course, being Jesus Christ. (See John 15:2,5.) Jesus Christ is doing His work and He allows us to help Him! How neat! Elder Christofferson also spoke about how there are things that we cannot handle without the Lord. Most things actually. But we can make the best of any situation. How? By reading the Book of Mormon! We must make it a priority! It also helps us to prepare to #HearHim (new Church slogan/program/thingymadoodle.)
And he also gave us some advice. If you ever are trying to pray and feel the Spirit, but you're having a little trouble, turn to pouring out your heart in thanksgiving. Giving thanks often brings the Spirit faster than anything else. Slow down and quiet your mind.
He also invited us to study The Restoration Proclamation and find scriptures that back it all up. Do our own research and follow the Spirit. It's really quite fun to do. I love when I hear a phrase or idea repeated by more than one source, because it testifies of its divine source. God is unchanging. God is firm. God will always be the same no matter what happens.
Anyway, I hope you all have a blessed week, full of the Spirit, and never forget to turn to the Lord.
Alma 4:14
"attendant ce jour-là, conservant ainsi le pardon de leurs péchés, étant remplis d’une grande joie à cause de la résurrection des morts, selon la volonté, et le pouvoir de Jésus-Christ, et sa délivrance des liens de la mort." Le fait que Jésus-Christ soit ressuscité est la preuve que Dieu tient ses promesses.
Câlins et bisous, Sœur Morrison
Onward and Upward
Que Dieu vous bénisse
