Happy Holidays! I heard about the Planned Parenthood shooting, that's crazy. They ran the swat car into the building??? That's flappin nuts! As for me, we had a very nice Thanksgiving with this Spanish family. They were in a very different circumstance than us and it was actually a very humbling experience. The sister who invited us's mom has some kind of terminal illness and some mental issues, and when we got there, she started yelling for us to come read her scriptures. We read her some scriptures about how the Atonement is for our sicknesses, infirmities, and sorrows, as well as our sins. Then we gave her a blessing and the spirit told her to be at peace and build her faith in Christ and her family, and if she did that she would be healed. Very humbling. I have come to learn that as you build your faith more and more, you open yourself up to more guidance and more promptings from the Spirit. Faith has pretty much been the underlying theme of this transfer, and it's through faith that miracles happen, and the more faith we have, the more we will see/recognize miracles when they happen. I've also learned that as you build your faith you also build hope, and that hope is what makes you happy. As you become closer and closer to Heavenly Father, the more you feel that he loves you and that he has a plan for you.
Transfers!!!!
I'm staying, Elder Anderson's leaving. A sister in our district started
having seizures this week and I just heard that she actually is going
to have to go home. It's pretty sad because you can tell how much she
loves being a missionary. As for the work it's pretty slow at the
moment. I feel like God wants us to learn some things, before he is
going to lead us to someone we can teach. We are working super hard
though. I can't feel my legs.
Love you guys!
Elder Sherwood
