The Blessings of the Lord

                                                                                                                       August 18, 2014

Hola mi familia maravillosa!!! Thank you for all of your letters this week. I can´t believe that time has passed so quickly. I think this is the last time I get to write you from the mission field as I am unsure what I will be doing next Monday.

It is so bitter-sweet right now, I can`t describe the feeling, I just want to cry and let it all out. I am so grateful for my mission and for everything I have experienced and learned while serving in Chile. The Lord knows what is best for us, and I am so grateful that He prompted me to serve a mission. I am also so grateful that I still have one more week in the mission field. This week I am going to work so hard and give my all. 

  
I have some sad news...Alejandro didn´t get baptized this week. But we are still working with him to help him change and be prepared to be baptized. I felt so sad, because I know that this is the best choice that he can make for himself and his family for all eternity, but he has his agency and I respect that. I know that Heavenly Father was strengthening him. Thank you for all of your prayers and faith, they really did make a difference because he has made so much progress and is changing. The Lord is working miracles right now and I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who helps us become the best that we can be. Please keep praying for him. 

 

We were able to visit Claudia and work with her and she was going to come to church, but sadly  wasn't able to come. We are going to visit her sometimes, but we are going to start focusing on finding new investigators to teach. We are always working to teach everyone but we need to find those who are prepared to listen, and accept this message from our Savior. Please pray that this week we will be able to find. Thank you so much!!!

 

We did better this week with working with the members. We are strengthening them and helping them, and we have received some references, but I know that as we continue to strengthen them and work together, we will be able to help them share the gospel with their friends. Mostly everyone here are converts, so they love missionary work! It is such a blessing!

On Sunday I was able to give my talk about the Savior. I spoke about how I came to love Him, and how He loved us first. I shared about His life and His Atonement and weaved a few things that I have learned on my mission about His Atonement. I also used a little from what I want to share in my homecoming talk, so we will save that for later. I felt a little bad because I went a little over my 10 minutes (got to learn to look at the clock) and the children were a little crazy so it was hard for the adults to listen. But today the zone leaders in our Ward told me that they went to lunch yesterday after church, and the Sister whom they ate with shared that she had really felt the Spirit during my talk. She had been feeling overwhelmed and was going to ask to be released from her church calling, but then she was strengthened by what I said, and was crying. I felt so good when they told me that because all I wanted was that the Spirit would be able to work through me to help those who were listening. I prepared and I did my best to deliver the message that I felt that Heavenly Father wanted me to share, and I know that the Spirit magnified what I had to offer so that Heavenly Father could help His children. The glory is His and I am so grateful for Him. We are all in His hands. 

 

This week I will get to do 2 exchanges as a sister training leader!! We were supposed to do about one a week, but with Alejandros baptism planned for last week, we postponed them. Now we will have two! That will be so exciting and help me work hard at all times. And we always see miracles when we have exchanges! 

 

Today for P-day(preparation day) we had another zone activity. We played the amazing race were we split into teams and did a picture scavenger hunt. The sisters won!!!! ha ha so fun! 

 

I am so grateful for all of the blessings of the Lord. I know that they come from obedience and diligence in living the gospel. Sometimes I feel so sad when we offer to teach people and they reject it for a number of reasons. They don´t know the blessings that they are missing. I just want everyone to have the blessings of the gospel. I know that we are called to be the Lord´s hands in blessing everyone. As we share the gospel, we will do His will, and help His children receive the blessings that He has for them. I am grateful for all of His blessings! I hope you all have an amazing week, and bask in the blessings that He has given you. But most importantly, I hope that you share those blessings with EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you all!!! Have an amazing week!!!
Hasta luego!!

 

Con todo mi amor, Hermana Harris  

La Guerra (The War)

                                                                                                          August 11, 2014

Hola mi familia!!! Thank you for your letters and for everything you are doing to live and share the gospel with everyone you know!!! I am striving to do the same!

 

This week I learned a lot about the war between good and evil. First off, we are still teaching Alejandro and he is faithfully preparing for his baptism on Saturday, but it has been a hard struggle with the Word of Wisdom. He needs your prayers now more than ever, so please keep him in your prayers every day. If this is the last baptism I can be a part of on my mission, I will be the happiest missionary ever. He has tried to prepare for baptism twice, but he kept falling, and then he didn't want to share with the missionaries after because he felt like he couldn`t do it, but he can! With the Savior`s help he can do anything! And this week we had an amazing lesson with him because he had fallen again and he felt so discouraged with himself, but he was able to feel God`s love and know that he can do it. He also received a blessing of comfort and strength to be able to withstand temptation. He is doing so well right now, but it is hard every time he works at night because all of his friends offer him cigarettes. But he is a changed man. We had seen how the Lord has prepared him and changed his heart even in the last week. I know that he will be prepared for Saturday because he is in the Lord`s hands, and the Lord always wins the war against evil. 

This week we worked really hard to find, but we only found one new investigator. She only had time for a five minute lesson and so we explained a little and asked for a return visit, and we will teach her again on wed.

 

We have been trying new things this week. We didn't get to do the face painting, but on Saturday we went to the beach and we drew the plan of salvation on the sidewalk in chalk, and then we taught little lessons to people that were passing by. We were able to write down their addresses, but almost all of them were references for the elders ha ha. oh well.

 

We have a new game plan now. We chose 5 member families that we are going to visit and strengthen and work with them to help them invite their friends to receive the gospel. I know that this will work because when we work with the members it is so much better because the investigators have friends they can trust and ask questions. We are going to work so hard this week to be able to find. 

This week we played street soccer at the church on Wed, and we invited a ton of investigators. We are going to do this every week, and it is a great way to find new people to teach.

 

 

 

 

Speaking of activities, today for p-day we played paintball!! Can you believe that I did that in the mission? I had never played in my life, and I played in my mission. My teammates all died, but in the two rounds, I never got killed!!! And I fought a good fight!  It was awesome! 

I learned more this week about how real the war is between good and evil. We must always be prepared to fight, and when we are prepared and we fight with our Heavenly Father and our Savior, we will always win. We must prepare by faithfully reading the scriptures everyday, by praying constantly, and by always going to church. We must live the commandments and be worthy to have the Spirit. If we do all of these things, we will never fall, we will always win because with Him we can win, without HIM, we cannot. I know that this is true, so my invitation this week is that we can all reflect and think about one thing we can do better to be more prepared to fight on the Lord`s side. I know He will help us change and improve and we will conquer with Him. 

Funny moment this week. I was walking with some people trying to contact them, and I bumped into a car parked in the street and the alarm went off.. goodbye contact... so embarrassing! haha I love you all so much! Keep being amazing and keep staying strong! Please do everything you can to protect yourselves and others in this war. teach them that they can do all things with the Savior on their side. I love you! Have a great week! Hasta luego!!!

 

Love, Hermana Harris

Invitar a Todos!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                                                                               August 4, 2014

 

Hola! Hola!! How are you all doing?? I am doing fantastic and I am so happy!!!!!!!!!!

 

This week was amazing! It rained all week, and we were soaked every day, but on Sunday morning it was still pouring and we were praying for a miracle so that people could come to church, and right before we were going to leave, we realized that it was bright and sunny outside, and that the rain had stopped. I love the Lord`s miracles!! He answered our prayer and it was perfect because Alejandro was able to go to church with his wife, Giselle, and Claudia was also able to go with one of her 4 daughters. These are are two investigators that we are focusing on and they are progressing so well. Alejandro has a baptismal date for the 16th, and Claudia will have one hopefully for the 23rd. We are working hard to find more people and this week we have some creative ideas, especially because Sunday is el día del niño (kid´s day) and on Sat. we are going to try to do face painting or something for the kids, while contacting their parents! 

 

We are applying a lot new ways to find, and we hope that they will work. We have plans every half hour in our mission, so we decided that everytime our plans fall through, we are going to each contact 3 people. It will help us talk to everyone and find those who are prepared to receive the Lord`s restored gospel. Until we find more, we are praying and working with Alejandro and Claudia. Please pray for Alejandro, because he struggles with the word of wisdom, and he wants to know if Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God. It was awesome because on Sunday, the class in Relief Society was exactly what Claudia needed to hear, and the class in Gospel Principles was exactly what Alejandro needed to hear. They are both doing great and we feel that they are so prepared. But we know that there are a lot more people waiting for us to find them, so we will keep working with members, and talking to everyone! 

Funny story. While we talk to everyone, sometimes we have to knock on a random door and ask to use their bathroom. Well, this week my companion knocked on a door, and a middle-aged man open the door and said "Hola, pasen." That means, hey come in... We thought, hmmm it must be a less active member that we don´t know, but we couldn't go in if he was alone. But then he yelled to his daughter upstairs to come down, so we entered the house. She came down, and hugged my confused companion and I, and as she hugged me she said, um I think there is a confusion here. I was waiting for my friends to come over and I think my dad thought you were them. haha it was so awkward, we all started to laugh and then Hermana Baturité asked to use their bathroom, and left me to talk to them. So, I got to know them a little and I explained what we do as missionaries and we set up an appointment to visit them tonight. It´s a good way to find!!!  

This week we really felt God`s love and His support in everything we did. We were able to help someone move, and serve more. We were also able to go around and really help those who were suffering. I love that part of the mission because as we teach the gospel, we help those that have broken hearts, or are struggling, to feel the love that God has for them. Something I have been trying to apply every day is giving everyone the opportunity to feel God`s love. That is why I strive to talk to and invite everyone, because everyone needs to feel His love. We must invite everyone we know, whether they are family members, close friends, or people we have just met. We never know who is prepared, but God does, and as we do our part in inviting everyone, He will help us recognize who is prepared. We can`t say, no, I don`t think he/she will accept the gospel. If we say that, we never give them the chance to accept it. Everyone needs the opportunity, and if we do our part in giving that opportunity to them, they will be blessed and we will be blessed. They may not accept right away, but they will in the future as long as we are good examples and friends. And if they don`t accept, we still did our part in fulfilling God`s commandment to share the gospel. So this week, INVITE EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pray to know what to say and how to do it, but invite everyone. I promise that you will feel so happy as you do! 

I love you all! Have an amazing week! I am praying for you always!!! Hasta luego!!

Con amor, Hermana Harris

Fé y Esperanza! (Faith and Hope)

                                                                                                          July 28, 2014
 Hola mi familia y amigos!!!!!! I am so excited to write you this week because so much has happened here!!! I absolutely love my mission!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy to read all about your amazing experiences at girl`s camp. It truly is a time to walk with the Savior. I love our Savior so much and those times are so special when we can walk with Him! I am grateful that I have learned that we can walk with Him daily if we let ourselves. He walks with us, all we need to do is walk with Him. 

 

I want to share a little bit about something I learned today. Today we had Leadership counsel as a mission. This was my first and my last one... but I loved it. It has some great perks, like we get all day p-day today, and papa johns for lunch! But I mostly loved it because I learned so much!

 

There was one part that I really needed to hear today. Elder Scholes, who is a senior missionary here serving with his wife, gave a lesson about Faith and Hope. He used the scriptures to help us to learn about these two qualities. In the scriptures we learn that we cannot have faith without hope, and that we cannot have hope if we do not have faith, so we need both of them. Our faith is based in Jesus Christ, that He lives and that He can help us become who Heavenly Father wants us to be, and can help us return to live with Heavenly Father and our families in the Celestial Kingdom. Sometimes we get hope and faith confused. Hope is really based in ourselves, that we have great potential and we will be able to become like the Savior and receive eternal life. We must have both faith in our Savior, and hope in ourselves that we can do it with His help. God works to increase our faith and hope. In Moses 1 God appears unto Moses and says in verse 3, "Behold, I am the Lord God Almighty, and Endless is my name; for I am without beginning of days or end of years, and is not this endless." First He strengthens our faith, and then He strengthens our hope saying,"And, behold, thou art my son...And I have a work for thee, Moses, my son; and thou art in the similitude of mine Only Begotten; and mine Only Begotten is and shall be the Savior, for He is full of grace and truth." God always helps us see who we are,and He always tells us that He loves us and is proud of us, On the other hand, satan works to attack our faith and our hope, usually he attacks our hope first. He lies to us, telling us that we aren´t good enough, or we will never be able to change. We can see this through the experience of Moses because after he had this vision, satan came to tempt him to worship him instead of God. In Moses 1:12 satan said, "Moses, son of man, worship me." He sometimes calls us sons or daughters of man, and makes us think that we have no potential to improve or change, or he makes us think we should just give up. But Moses had faith and hope, he responded in verse 13 and said, "Who art thou? For behold, I am a son of God, in the similitude of His Only Begotten, and where is thy glory, that I should worship thee?" When we work to have faith, and hope we can be strong even when the adversary attacks us with lies. We will have the ability to respond to these lies that satan puts into our minds. We may have weaknesses, but we can say with Hope that we are sons and daughters of God, and we can become like Him through the Atonement of Christ. We can do all things with Him. I know that as we pray for greater faith and hope, we will recognize the lies of the adversary when they enter our minds, and we can respond like Moses and say, " Get thee hence, Satan; deceive me not; for God said unto me: Thou art after the similitude of mine Only Begotten." 

I am so grateful that I was able to learn that, now I will always apply it! We truly are sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father and with Him and our Savior we can do all things!!! 

This week was amazing because we worked really hard. We weren't able to help the Mejias Family, I taught them, but they didn´t come to church and aren't progressing, so we are going to have to teach others. Claudia's progression is slow, but we know that as we keep working hard, the Lord will bless us to find those that are prepared. Last night we started teaching the husband of a member, his name is Alejandro. He has prepared for baptism before, but has some difficulties with drugs and wasn't able to be baptized before. He also doesn't believe that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God, so we are going to work with him on that. It was a miracle that we were able to teach him because before, he wouldn´t even enter the room when we were over. Please pray for him, we feel strongly that it is his time now, and that he is prepared, but he needs your prayers and faith, because he needs Heavenly Father`s help and the help of our Savior in order to change and be ready. He has a baptismal date for the 16th of August! Also, please pray that we can keep finding people this week! 

Other news!!! I had my first mini cambio this week, or exchange as a leader! It was awesome!

 

I am so excited to keep helping these amazing sisters! I love you all!!! Thank you for your prayers and your love! I hope you have an amazing week!!!! Hasta luego!

Love, Hermana Harris

Week Number One

                                                                                                           July 21, 2014

Hola a todos! Estoy muy feliz para escribirles hoy día! This week was amazing and I am so grateful for all of God`s blessings! I am so happy to hear that you all had a fabulous week!!! This gospel blesses us every minute of every day and I am so grateful for our loving Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ. 

 

So first off, my companion is amazing! She is from Brasil, so I am going to start learning Portuguese too! She has been a sister training leader for a while, and she is teaching me everything. She loves to work and has always wanted to serve a mission. She is such a great example and I am excited to work with her. We have been able to teach with unity and love for the people, while enjoying our missions!

 

Penco is amazing! I am in the same stake as Frutillares so this week I got to see a ton of members from my old branch. The area here is a little bit more difficult, because it is harder to enter into doors and teach, but we are talking to everyone and inviting them all to learn about the gospel and be blessed. I know the Lord will bless us for our diligence and obedience. We weren`t able to have investigators come to church because we don`t have very many. We are working with a family of 3. They are the familia Mejias, and we are teaching Hermana Mejias and her two daugthers. The husband doesn`t like to listen to the missionaries. Their biggest struggle is that they have not received an answer that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, and that the Book of Mormon is true. I know that if they read the Book of Mormon and sincerly and earnestly pray, God will answer them. They will come to know that the Book of Mormon is true, that it testifies of Jesus Christ our Savior, that Joseph Smith was His prophet, that this is the Church of Jesus Christ and He guides it, and gives His authority to baptize. They will know that baptism in this church is necessary so that they can be baptized by water and by the Spirit by someone who has the authority to do so. It will not only bless them spiritually, but temporally as well, and it will help them in their family. I invite all to read the Book of Mormon and pray to know if it is true. I know that God will answer because He answered me! 

 

Please pray for this sweet family so that they will be able to receive an answer, and recognize it, and prepare for a baptismal date. Thank you!!! This week our stake had an amazing activity. They did an Youth Olympics with 2 other stakes. One day was with youth only, and the next day they had a marathon race on the beach, and zumba and other activities. As missionaries, we got to go to make sure everyone stayed on the running course. It was amazing to see how the members helped others realize that we can all have fun and enjoy life without having to be doing things that the world promotes, like drinking, and smoking and such. A lot of non-members were able to participate and enjoy the race and zumba and win prizes. I enjoyed cheering them all on!!! It was such an awesome experience, and the church worked with the town leaders to pull if off. Such a great example!!! 

Another cool thing we did this week is we had a sister study just as sisters in the zone. Hermana Baturitè and I are in charge of helping 6 other sisters. We felt like we needed to have a study to get to know them better. We began by playing some get to know you games and eating delicious cinamon rolls that a sister made. They were so good!!! ITs been so long since I had a cinamon roll! Then we taught an amazing lesson about having confidence in the Lord and learning to rely on Him. I know that is what God wanted us to share with them. He loves them and He is so proud of them for their efforts. I am so grateful to be His voice and hands in helping them feel His love. It reminds me so much of Girl´s camp! I know that Girl`s camp really prepared me to serve a mission and love everyone. Please pray that Hermana Baturité and I will be able to help the sisters here. Thank you for all of your prayers and your love! I love you all so much!! Have an amazing week!

Love,

Hermana Harris

Perfection vs. Being Worthy

                                                                                                  July 14, 2014

Hola mi familia maravillosa! Gracias por sus cartas, when I got on I had 24 emails haha love it! So I have so much to tell you from this week! I am so glad you had an amazing trip and are back safe and sound in Naperville! I love you all so much! 

 

Sooooo, we had transfers this week. President called me last night to call me as a Sister Training Leader for my last cambio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I will be serving in Crav in Penco, which is closer to Concepción, and I will be serving with Hermana Baturité, another Sister Training Leader who is from Brasil.

 

I am so excited for this opportunity to serve and I will do my very best to help the sisters and work hard this last transfer! I am so grateful for the blessings that God has given me and for my whole mission!

 

Usually when we have transfers, the elders call us in the morning at 7, but this time our zone leaders planned a breakfast at 10 and we had to go there and everyone chose a name of someone else out of a bag and then we had to annouce where that person was going to be transferred. It was a lot more fun and exciting!  

 

So update this week. Jaime came to church, he is preparing to be baptized on the 26th of July. He is so prepared! We invited him to pray about his baptismal date because he felt that it was too soon. When we called he said that when he prayed, he didnt feel an answerl. But about 3 hours later he called us again to say that he receive his answer and is going to be baptized! We are so excited for him! He used to play the organ in the Catholic church and every time we go to visit him he makes me play a hymn on the piano! So fun! Mario is also progressing! He wasn't able to come to church because he had to go with someone to the hospital last minute, and didn't come, but he is learning and changing and it is amazing! Sadly, Laura and Connie couldn't come either. We will continue to work with them. I am sad that I won´t be there for their baptisms, but I am so grateful that I was able to be a part of teaching them. The Lord truely prepares people and converts them!!! 

 

Mario and Yocelyn went to the temple and loved it! They both shared their testimonies on Sunday in Sacrament meeting as the Bishop asked them to do so, and the Spirit was so strong! They only have 2 months in the church and have changed so much! Cesar is doing well. Thank you for your prayers. What really happened is that a brick fell on his back and broke a piece off one of his back bones, but he is doing well and mending. I know that the Lord answered our prayers and helped him heal and not have an injury more serious. 

 

This week was great and I Iearned so much! We had a sister study and I learned the difference between being perfect and being worthy. The perfection is a constant progression throughout our whole lives and worthiness comes from repenstance and striving to be better every day. The Lord doesn´t ask us to be perfect, but He does ask us to be worthy! Also, I had the opportunity to teach the class in Relief Society this past week. I learned a ton from President Joseph Fielding Smith about baptism, and about keeping our baptismal covenants. We must keep being faithful to the end because we were baptized to enter in the celestial kingdom, not in the terrestrial nor the telestial kingdom. My prayer is that we can all keep our covenants faithfully and fully and remember our goal to live with our Heavenly Father and our Savior and our Families in the Celestial Kingdom forever. 

 

On Wednesday we played soccer as a ward. The elders didnt tell us we were going to play so we showed up in skirts and boots. To not harm my boots anymore, I played in my socks haha I love playing barefoot because it is way easier to control the ball. But by the end of the game, I had huge holes in my socks haha so fun! Thank you for all of your prayers and for your love! I love you all! Have an amazing week and know I am praying for you! 

 

Love, Hermana Harris

O Be Wise!!

                                                                                                           July 7, 2014

Hola mi familia! I hope you had a wonderful week and fourth of July celebration! I sure did! This week we had so much to do, and it went by so fast. We were working hard all week and the Lord blessed us to be instruments in His hands. Let me give you the update!

 

The whole week we were preparing for Anette`s Baptism! On Wednesday we taught her the final lesson, on Thursday she had her baptismal interview, and she was baptized on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Elders were also teaching a couple that got baptized on Saturday as well, so there were 3 baptisms together and the ward really supported! It was fabulous! Now we are going to start teaching Anette`s dad! Hopefully! Please pray that he will listen to us. 

 

While preparing for the baptism, we worked hard to find more people to teach. The Lord blessed us to find Jaime, who is an older man who has retired and lives alone. He had shared with missionaries before when he was younger, but he ran away before he could get baptized haha. Now, he is very different and he is so prepared. He came to the talent show on Friday, and on Sunday he came to church and he loves it all!!! He has a baptismal date for the 26th of July.

We also found Laura and her 8 year old daughter, Constanza. They also accepted a baptismal date for the 26th and they came to the activity on Friday! It was so perfect because Constanza was instantly friends with Anette, and Laura got along great with Angie, Anette`s mom. They loved the activity and they also came for part of the baptism on Sunday. Sadly, after the baptism they went to a friend`s house who talked badly about the church and said that we do weird things on Sundays. Constanza didn`t want to go to church on Sunday, but Laura told her that she needed to try it for herself to see if it was true. They got to Sacrament meeting late, but THEY CAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!! And they loved it!!! We are going to teach them tonight!

Also, Mario Fica came to church. He is 21, he has a 2 year old son, and he wants to change his life and be forgiven for past choices. He does smoke, but he is progressing. Please pray for him! We have been blessed to find really prepared people. 

 

This week the Ward is going to the temple in Santiago on Friday and Saturday. There is a hotel there and they stay over. The best part is that Mario and Yocelyn are going to do baptisms for their family members! So awesome! Mario is having trouble getting off work, but he wants to go. Please pray that he will be able to get off work without problems. Cesar and Carolina were going to go too, but Cesar had a terrible fall in work. He works in construction and he fell on his back. He couldnt feel his legs and is in the hospital in Concepción. Now he can feel his legs, but the pain is horrible. He can`t walk very well. Please pray for him and his family. They need your prayers! Thank you!!! 

 

On Friday, July 4th, we had the talent show. In the beginning, not many members came :( we had all of our investigators there and not many members. But then they started coming. The talent show was great! My companion acted as a funny singer named Celia Cruz. You will have to look her up. It was so funny. I sang, "Someone like you" by Adele, haha don`t worry, I had permission. I had to pick that one, because there are not a ton of english songs that they know, but they do know that one. It was funny because they thought I sounded like her, and people passing by the church heard me. They asked who was singing Adele. haha Near the end of the activity, the members had me go in front and they all wished me a happy forth of July. Haha I had completely forgotten until that moment, that it was the 4th of July. They had all remembered! So sweet, and so funny that I forgot. oh well, there is always next year. 

 

Funny moments of the week: Lately, a lot of the people that we have contacted are giving us fake addresses. I dont know how they know which houses are fake address but they know. I think that they talk to the missionaries one time, and then decide that the next time they will give a fake address, so they prepare ahead of time and know all of the numbers that they can say to throw us off their trail. It always happens that they give me a number like 864, and we get to the street and find 866 and 862 instead. It makes me always want to run right in between them and pass through the wall like in Harry Potter when they enter Station 9 and 3/4. To bad that doesn`t work. Guess whatelse happened this week? Hermana Martinez attacked me with her smelly socks. We had just finished planning one night, when suddenly she has me in a head lock and her socks in my face! haha she is crazy, but I love her! Sadly, we have transfers next week. 

 

This week, I would like to share a scripture with you that I learned a lot about this week. It is Jacob 6:12, and it says: "O be wise; what can I say more?" I love that scripture because it is so simple but it is so important. Everyday we make a ton of decisions big and small. We need to recognize these opportunities to choose, and be wise and make the right choices. This applies in temporal things, and spiritual things. But we are very blessed because we have a loving Heavenly Father, who will always answer our prayers and who we can consult when we need to make a decision. He will help us to be wise.

 

I invite you all to always "Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings," (Alma 37:37). I promise you that He will guide you and you will be blessed throughout your whole life. I love you all! Have an amazing week!!! 

 

Con Amor, Hermana Harris
