YOOOOO
-Elder Holland spoke to us yesterday and it was so good i am shook.
- he said that dont worry if you feel homesick or if you feel discouraged, take courage in the thousands of missionaries that have come before you, and take hope in the thousands that will come after you.
- he also said, "don't miss your apostolic moment" and like wow. We are engaged in the most important work in the universe, the salvation of the human family. I am so so so so so thankful to be able to be a missionary.
- President henderson (my branch president) told me that he knows I'll be a good missionary if I work hard but oh my gosh I am so hype.
- So I got a letter from my mission president and he told me that the day I get to Germany I will start proselyting that day!!! I meet my trainer tuesday, February 12th and I leave for my area Wednesday the 13th. I dont have my travel plans yet but talking with this girl who works at the travel office we convinced her to look up our departure times, I leave the mtc at 6 in the morning and my first flight is at 11. Haha it was fun, I don't think she was supposed to though but my comp laid on the charm and I helped out and she was about to give us our flight plans but then we had to leave.
- Cool story (skip if ur short on time)
SOOOOOOO we were doing a workshop on finding through members and for this roleplay we had to practice making commitments and we had to act as a member. This sister in my district, sister Bice, was paired with this puerto rican. She usually just uses her first name but she decided to use her friends name who is on a mission (in puerto rico). and the missionary hears the first name and he has trouble saying it and he says do you know a Mackenna? and she says yeah shes on a mission. and he goes is she sister so and so, I met her before my mission shes in puerto rico right? and GUESS WHAT. SAME SISTER. So he wrote a note giving a list of his less active family and wrote and told her to teach his mom who was a member but a drug addict. Sister Bice then emailed the info to her friend but like the weirdest connection and all through a first name. I know that God's hand was behind it. He is the master of all and oh man it was amazing to witness God's plan for his children unfold, I know God is mindful of all of us and that he loves us beyond belief.
- The scripture I want to share: 2 Nephi 31:21, I Love this scripture and I know that it is only through Jesus Christ that we are saved. I know that if we rely on him and His doctrine we will be happy and have joy. This week I've been focused on Christ and the blessings that come from following him and I know that all good things come from God.
Give my love to all,
Elder Miner
