Miracle Week!

Life is hard. 
Sometimes. 
But we couldn't climb higher without a mountain in our path. 

But that's being overdramatic. ahahah This was a great week! Did have it's lows and highs, but overall was really great. We have been blessed to have so many people to teach! 
ALSO! Elder Holland came to our mission!! he bore testimony so powerfully of the Book of Mormon, I doubt anyone could hear his words and not believe him - it was really amazing to hear. Here are some of our mission president's words about it: 

Elder Holland taught the priesthood leaders that they are not to see themselves as administrators or managers of the Church but they are to be first Disciples of Christ and then Ministers to the spiritual needs of the people. He talked of the coming growth of the church and said; "Whatever the miracles of the past have been, they are nothing to what we will see in the future – the work has only begun in these islands!" He said that the scripture quoted by Moroni to the Prophet Joseph 4 times from Joel 2 "has scarcely begun to be realised" and that this generation would live to see the manifestation of it – he also said; "We've only seen the beginning" – and he repeated that statement twice for emphasis. I have taken from his message that there are many people out there for us to find, teach and baptise.

I really feel like we're beginning to see the fulfilment of this - there are a lot of places I've served where I feel it's destined to become a stake, and I know that the Lord is hastening his work. As one of his full-time missionaries, I love and relish this chance I have to help so many of His children!! I love it. :)

Love you all! Cheers!
