Hidden Strengths

Family and Friends!

Hey y'all! I hope everyone is doing well! It was a long week here in Everett but some pretty neat things happened! So here it is:

Monday: We just chilled at the church for pday and that was pretty good. Then after we had a lesson with this guy who called us on Sunday wanting to know more about the church and coming to church! It went really well! We taught the Restoration and then he asked to have a tour of the church.  He asked a lot of good questions! After the tour, we asked if he wanted to meet again sometime and sadly he said he didn't but he was going to talk to his friend who is a member more and go to church with her. So kind of sad but still good that he wants to go to church! Anyway, then we played chair soccer with the ward for FHE.

Tuesday: We did service at the horse farm in the morning. Due to the snow and it raining all the days, the arena started flooding so we helped them move a bunch of stuff so they could lay down some rock to help it not flood again. After that, we went to go see a potential and actually ended up meeting his girlfriend who also said she was interested! So we are going to go back this week to teach both of them! Later that night, we had a really awesome lesson with our friend David. He's doing well and is asking a lot of questions. He said he read a lot in the Book of Mormon and that he really liked the story of Nephi cutting off Laban's head...haha.

Wednesday: We had District Council in the morning and that was just awesome! I always learn so much! After that, Sister Ballard did a little bit of My Plan and then we went and had a lesson with one of our members Jazmyn. Later that night, we tried to go visit some people but hardly anyone was home. Then we had "outreach" and went with some members and visited some less actives. We had a pretty good time during that!

Thursday: We went and helped at the food bank and that's always so fun because almost half our zone goes too! Then the rest of the day we had some member lessons that went really well! Our last lesson for the night was with Abi who is preparing to leave on a mission. She told us some things she is scared about and it tied in just perfectly with what we wanted to talk to her about!

Friday: We helped out at Habitat for Humanity in the morning and then went and helped a member move. Then we just had a whole lot of planning to do so you all know how much fun that was... and then we had a lesson with Josh and that was really good!

Saturday: We went to the horse farm again, I love going there. Then after that, we went and made cookies with one of our members, Stephanie, and had a lesson with her. We watched the video "You Never Know The Good You Do" or something like that. I really enjoyed it because sometimes in life we feel like we never get anything done that we wanted to get done. But, when we are serving others we are doing exactly what our Heavenly Father wants us to do and that is what is most important.

Sunday: We had a good time at church! And we were able to have break the fast (gotta love YSA wards haha). Later that night we had a couple lessons and then came home and did Come Follow Me.

Well this week I was reading Ether 12:27 which says:
"And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."

Something I like is how the the Lord says that He will make week things become strong. I feel as though each of the weaknesses we have been given actually has a hidden strength to go with it and our Heavenly Father can help us find it. Well, I love you all so much and hope you have the best week!
