Oi Familia!
We have seen many miracles this week.
We have been blessed with many people to teach. We are finding new
investigators and several are progressing!
We went on exchanges this week and I
had the opportunity to serve with Hermana R here in Castle Hills for
the day! Hermana R is from El Salvador, so I got to practice lots of
Spanish and Portuguese with her. We had lot of appointments and had a
great time!
We had Zone Training and Interviews
with President Slaughter on Friday- both were great!
On Friday we had dinner with the W
Family, and they gave me a bike to use! (Sister S and I are trying to
conserve miles!) We took the bus one day, and on Saturday we biked!
It was a nice hot, biking day! (Gave me a very big appreciation to
all those biking missionaries! I was thinking, "Sister Danica
Greenall gets to do this every day in the Texas sun!!")
This morning I was reading from
President Monson's last conference talk "Love - The Essence of
the Gospel."
In his talk he quoted Spencer W.
Kimball, "We must remember that those mortals we meet in parking
lots, offices, elevators, and elsewhere are that portion of mankind
God has given us to love and to serve. It will do us little good to
speak of the general brotherhood of mankind if we cannot regard those
who are all around us as our brothers and sisters."
President Monson also said, "Beyond
comprehension, my brothers and sisters, is the love of God for us.
Because of this love, He sent His Son, who loved us enough to give
His life for us, that we might have eternal life. As we come to
understand this incomparable gift, our hearts will be filled with
love for our Eternal Father, for our Savior, and for all mankind."
I love that promise that as we come to
understand the gift of God's Son, our hearts will be filled with
1.) love for our Eternal Father
2.) love for our Savior3.) love for all mankind
I know that love truly is the essence
of the gospel. I know that we are surrounded by those around us for a
purpose. God loves His children (that's us!). Jesus Christ lives and
loves us! We are brothers and sisters!
I hope y'all have another superb week!
Love,
Sister E. Greenall
