Hello!
It's freezing out here, just so you know. It snowed, and church got cancelled. I haven't missed church a day in my mission until now...I feel weird about that.
I'm trying really hard to endure to the end out here. It gets harder and harder every day. But, i know that the Lord must know what that's like. "Let this cup pass from me" he can "succor" me on this.
We have found ourselves doing a lot of service lately. It seems to be the only thing we have calling on us lately. I don't mind. I love doing service, it brings about a special spirit.
I've learned a great deal about the scriptures this week. In a lot of ways our testimonies are formed based on the application of the scriptures in our lives. We look back from time to time on the personal experiences we have with them, and sometimes our hearts will swell, and tears will wet our cheeks as we ponder "that moment was a tough time in my life, but this scripture pierced my heart". Those moments and patterns create an anchor to bind the doctrine of Christ to the fleshy tables of our hearts.
I recall many instances when I have recognized when God has shown forth His tender mercies through the scriptures. Without the recall of those experiences and patterns, we can hardly see the hand of God in our lives.
