"The
choice is yours!
The Creator of the seas, sands, and endless stars is reaching out to you
this very day! He is offering the grand recipe for happiness, peace, and
eternal life!
To qualify for these glorious blessings, you must humble yourself,
exercise faith, take upon you the name of Christ, seek Him in word and deed,
and resolutely “stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and
in all places.”
-President
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
One
of the best General Conference quotes of ever. It is simply our choice to be
happy. Our choice to see what we want to see. If we want to see the negative,
then we will. If we want to recognize God's blessings, then we will. What a
miracle agency is. And God will never take that away from us because He loves
us THAT much. Amazing.
It's
been a really spectacular week. Had a lot of member present lessons and a lot
of super solid new investigators(: Gotta love Sooke.
I
read the talk about this morning and it's so funny because it has totally been
the theme for this transfer. There was this super mean guy that we talked to
on...don't even remember what day it was. sometime this past week, and sister
unwin and i walked away and asked me why i could still be so happy even after
someone was so rude. and so we talked about charity and how we are just so much
happier when we have the Spirit in our lives because we choose to see the good.
We walked away though and i said to sister Unwin, "what the heck? how
could he be mean to me? i have a bow in my hair for crying out loud! i look
like a child and he was still so mean!" but i guess that doesn't matter to
people who just want to tear other's testimonies down. It was funny though.
Also this lady was talking to us behind her closed door and i asked "is it
okay if we leave a card in your website?" instead of "card in your
door". i'm a genius everyone, i know. so those were my funny things of the
week. also, please mourn over the fact that my companion, who lives in a first
world country (she's from Liverpool, England) has never 1. had a PB&J
sandwich, and 2. has never dunked oreos in milk before. moment of silence over
that travesty please. thank you, moving on. I just love you all so much! thank
you for all being amazing and supporting me through and through(: God loves all
of you so much! keep being good and remember to "live the gospel
joyful"!!(:
love
always, sister brittany anne larsen(:
