Selamat malam! (Good evening!)
Last week, I said goodbye to Wichita Falls, TX and all the lovely folks there and headed up to Ooooklahoma, the small town of Anadarko! This time, there's 3 of us in our companionship and we've been blessed with the best: Hermana Lott (who was reassigned from Guatamala) and Sister Silversmith (our greenie from Utah). We've already been welcomed with all kinds of yummy food and crazy wind (it's seriously windy here), and we're excited to work here with these awesome people!
Quick spiritual thought for you, and it comes from the Book of Mormon in Jacob 5 (the chapter is a bit of a doozy, but worth reading, so go and study it sometime):
(from verse 22) "I knew that it was a poor spot of ground; wherefore, I said unto thee, I have nourished it this long time, and thou beholdest that it hath brought forth much fruit."
We may see ourselves as the "poor spot of ground," with broken hearts, weak hands, or other feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy. Christ will stay with and nourish us, little by little every day, until we "bring forth much fruit l" and become who he sees we can become. Trust His timing. He has a plan and knows what we can be.
Love you guys, hope it's a minggu yang bagus (great week)!
