The More the Merrier!
Hola familia y amigos!
What up in the valley of the sun? Well life here in Novato is CRAZY! My new baby has arrived her name is Hermana Lybbert and she is from Washington and she will be here with us for a transfer and then she will be serving in Argentina. She is determined to speak Spanish and she has such a fire for the work. I am so excited that she is serving with us. It is a little bit different to have three people together all of the time doing the work but truly the more people the merrier. It is hard to have to be the example all of the time but it is a privilege!
Really nothing that amazing happened this week. Well actually one thing did! We set a baptismal date with Ilse and it was the most amazing thing ever. The spirit was so strong and it just is the best feeling in the world to know that I am fulfilling my purpose. Other than that we have just been getting used to our new companionship! It has its ups and downs for sure but I know that everything will work out!
This week I have truly fell in love with the Book of Mormon for like the 100th time! I just can't believe that it never gets old! I love how the teachings in the Book of Mormon can always apply to your life! Today and like every day this week I have been super frustrated and so I just open up the Book of Mormon and say Heavenly Father help me! Then I start reading and in seconds the Spirit is like BAM this is what you need and this and this and this. There are so many hidden gems in the scriptures. I could share them with you but it would be a list a mile long and they probably would not make sense because they apply to me so go out and find the ones that apply to your life.
A scripture that I love that President Alba shared in the training meeting when everyone was asking him a thousand questions is 1 Nephi 4:6. It basically says that even though Nephi did not know why he needed to do certain things he went by the Spirit and continued to obey. President encouraged us all to do that. So even though I do not even know how to double train and I am just doing this all on a whim it is an inspirational whim because I am always pleading for the help of my father in heaven.
So basically, I love the book of mormon and prayer is real! Life is crazy but good!
Sorry I just don't have a lot to say right now and my "babies" are crying because they want to go play in the gym!
Well thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers!
The church is true the book is blue!
Love,
Hermana Hillary:)
