Week 73 - Loving Anadarko!

Hey Ya'll!!,

Ready for this week? Let's go! 

This is actually pretty sad:( Monday we went to a trampoline park with the Zone and President and Sister Mansell , that was so much fun! But as we were having fun, our Zone leader dislocated his knee by landing on it weird. It was so bad he had to go home and have surgery:( we had a Zone fast for him the other day, and just pray he is doing good. If y'all could keep him in your prayers that would be so awesome! 

On a happier note! Aaron and Ralfina got married!!!!!!! It was so sweet to see them both take a closer step to one day being sealed in the temple. They were so cute! Especially with their little daughter by their side the whole nightπŸ’• (pics coming soon:)

Also Aaron is still getting Baptized November 1st! We are so excited for him! 
Can I just say that the Spirit is so amazing. My companion is so in tune all the time! Multiple times this week she had several impressions to visit Summer, the sweetest women you will ever meet! We learned that the rule of "no second thoughts" is the most important rule to follow. Each time we called, texted, or visited Summer it was always needed by her. She is the greatest example to us of hope and relying on the Savior to help us in our times of need. She has been through so much, but that does not stop her from getting up over and over again. She is the strongest person we have met! We love her a lot❣

We are having so much fun here in Anadarko!! The people here are worth everything to Sister Gywnn and I. She has taught me the purpose of love, and striving to love them as the Savior would. He would love them, but would be devastated if they refused to follow him. We have learned that our love for God's Children should include our deep desire for them to keep commitments. Elder Holland said to be devastated if they don't read the Book of Mormon, and we are devastated because we love them and want them to grow closer to their Savior through His Gospel. 

We also were reminded that we need to keep commitments as missionaries or those who invite others, or we can't expect anyone to keep an invitation we extend. 

I immediately think about the prophet's invitations to us; to Read the Book of Mormon everyday, to not waste time on Social media, to attend the Temple often,  to use the name of our Savior Jesus Christ in every reference to His church, and to daily seek for personal revelation. There is so much more asked of us. It is a lot, but they are amazing commitments given to us by our Prophet.

Why so much? Well, these are the last days, and by doing these things we are shielding ourselves from the temptations of this world. We are preparing ourselves for the second coming of the Savior. It is all worth it. My challenge for me and you this week is to Ponder in our hearts the message of our dear Prophet President Russel M. Nelson. How can we follow the prophet and his council? Will we? 

I know that what he says is from our Father in Heaven. I know God loves us and wants us to endure through these turbulent times, the great blessing is living with Him and our Savior again. I want this more than anything. 

He doesn't expect any of what he asks us to be easy, but he will help us along the way. He loves you a lot! 

I hope y'all have a great week and see miracles😊
