I love my life! I'm so grateful and lucky to be a missionary. This is the work of the Lord, and we're helping people progress towards eternal happiness. That I know to be true.
A few highlights from this week: I've been studying charity, among a lot of other things, and I learned a lot. Some impressions have been the importance of praying, as Mormon counsels us, with all the energy of heart that we possess so that we can be filled with that love. I also learned a lot about how Christ demonstrated charity; one of the favorite ponder bits was Christ's counsel of, "greater man hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends," compared with how He gave His life for even His bitterest enemies. It's also so important to have charity with ourselves. Sometimes we can be so much more negative and hard on ourselves than we ever would be on our loved ones; love thy neighbor as thyself" has two parts.
Aside from that, we could really use prayers so that we can find more people to teach! We're struggling with that right now. I'd also love to hear any insights from your scripture study, general life updates, or cool ideas for videos that could be used to do missionary work you have.
Love you all! Thank you for your prayers; they're very felt, and thank you for however you're participating in missionary work, wherever you're at. Open your mouth, and it will be filled. This is the Church of Jesus Christ! The house of Israel is being gathered.
With charity,
Elder Child
