He is always there to help, Be fixed in your purpose, Doing our best and He'll help with the rest...

Alrighty so I don't have a lot of time...which happens to be just want I wanted to tell you today...haha so hymn 266 "The Time is Far Spent".....it's a really good one! and it just goes so perfectly! Time is going so quickly and I just want to make the most of it! But I really like this hymn and all that is says...so i'm just gonna share some words from it... "The time is far spent; there is little remaining to publish glad tidings by sea and by land. Then hasten, ye heralds; go forward proclaiming repent, for the kingdom of heaven's at hand, shrink not from your duty however unpleasant, but follow the Savior your pattern and friend. Our little afflictions, tho painful at present, Ere long, with the righteous in glory will end. Be fixed in your purpose, for Satan will try you; the weight of your calling he perfectly knows. Your path may be thorny but Jesus is nigh you; His arm is sufficient though demons oppose." I am so grateful for my Savior and I know that He is my friend! He is always there to help us!

We got to see Meet the Mormons this week at zone conference and it was so good!! I loved the one that said "I'm not perfect, but I'm perfect at trying." I love that and I know that we just have to do the best that we can and then his grace is sufficient and He will help us with the rest. Grace helps us to do things that we can't do on our own. I know that we just have to have faith and trust God even in the hard times...this week one day we were thinking of a scripture that we could write on pass along cards to give to people while street contacting and so we flipped open to a random verse in the Book of Mormon and I opened to Helaman 5:47 it says "Peace, peace be unto you because of your faith in my Well Beloved, who was from the foundation of the world." It was such a comforting scripture to me on kind of a slow day and a really good one to be able to share with people! We just have to have faith!

Well really quick i'll tell you about our week we had a good pday last week and went to the beach!

Tuesday was zone conference and we talked all about the Book of Mormon since we had all just finished it! We talked a lot about the Atonement and how there are so many references to it in the Book of Mormon! It was really neat finding so many and discussing them and talking about the Atonement is the central message that we have! I'm so grateful for the Atonement and for my Savior! We have been trying to really bring every lesson back to the Atonement and focus on Christ and that has made them so much more meaningful! So zone conference was great! and then we got out in time to go and have a quick lesson with Tori at the Hafen's!! Then we went and had dinner with the Mitchells!

Wednesday we went to the food pantry and then did bingo and then went and saw some less actives!

Thursday we were trying to see lots of formers and potentials and then both of our scheduled appointments fell through! We got in to see one former who talked to us for a while but isn't really interested to learn...

Friday was weekly planning then we read the Book of Mormon with Sister Bromfield and we started out in 3 Nephi 7 and then she kept saying oh lets read one more chapter...one more...one more...haha we made it to 3 Nephi 11 so that we could read when the Savior taught the Nephites so that was really good! Then we had some other stop bys that we tried and then later saw Mary!

Saturday we did some street contacting and then we went and visited some less actives and then that night was stake conference! they talked all about hastening the work! One thing I really liked that was said was to replace writing them off with writing them in! We can't judge who is ready or prepared to hear the gospel, that's why we need to talk to everyone and just be an example to all those around us!

Yesterday we had another lesson with Tori and then stake conference! then more trying to see formers and less actives and then dinner with the Hafen's! I'm grateful to be a part of this work and to be able to learn more about my Savior and come closer to Him through the ups and downs of it all! I love you all so much!
