Hey y'all! Happy Fourth of July! I hope everyone had a fantastic day! It was actually sunny here in Washington, so that was pretty neat! Anyway this week was a pretty good one!
☀️Highlights☀️
- We had some awesome member lessons this week and a really awesome lesson with our friend Anthony about the Plan of Salvation! He asks lots of questions which is awesome!
- We had 4 hours worth of meetings on Tuesday. They were all really good just lots of sitting on the same couch😂.
- We had an awesome Zone Conference on the 4th! And then we went to go get Cafe Rio, but it was CLOSED! So that was kind of a low light, not really a highlight but it's fine. We went to Panda Express instead and it took us 40 minutes to find it in a mall😂
🥤Spiritual Juices🥤
Yesterday I was reading in 1 Nephi 16. This is the story of the prophet Nephi breaking his bow while they are in the wilderness. So Nephi breaks his bow and then his brothers get mad at him and blame him for everything (which is not all his fault). Everyone is upset and just wallowing in self pity and complaining but not doing anything to make the situation better. But Nephi (the one whose getting blamed for everything) instead goes out makes a bow out of wood and an arrow out of a straight stick. Then in verse 23 of chapter 16, he goes to his father and says "Whither shall I go to obtain food?" This is so awesome because instead of complaining, Nephi looks around and uses the skills he has to help the situation.
This made me thing of how many times I just sit and complain about my situation. I know none of us are in the ideal situation we want to be in, but nothing is going to get better if we just complain. I am guilty of this, but looking at Nephi's example I want to instead look for what I can do with what I have around me and ask the Lord "Now what would you have me do?" If we do this, I can promise that the Lord will direct us and provide for us just as He did Nephi. So look around and see how you can fix your situation.
I love and miss you all and hope you have the best week!
