WEEK 6 but I still love technology, always and forever

 WOW this week was CrAzY! (I feel like I say that every week) We got "technology" and I LOVE it haha. (hence the Napoleon Dynamite quote in the subject line) Not only because I can now text more than 3 words per minute but because it has been an AMAZING tool in gathering Israel and I can't wait to continue to use it to further the work!

-ZONE CONFERENCE!!-

        I had my first zone conference on Thursday and it was AMAZING! ( I saw Elder Spafford! he's doin great btw) It was so cool to be able to hear from President and Sister Macdonald and to be able to learn from other missionaries! One of the focuses was about being BOLD which I definitely struggle with, but turns out IT WORKS! The next morning my companion and I practiced being bold and using the skills we had learned from conference and we were able to get an ON THE SPOT lesson with this cute lady named Agnus! It was so cool to see how she changed from not wanting to talk with us at all to wanting to hear more. It's crazy what a little persistence can do.

-THERE CAN BE MIRACLES-

        We've seen in the scriptures that God is a God of miracles from Moses parting the red sea to Nephi building ship, but do we really have faith that he performs miracles today? I was reading in Mormon 9 earlier this week and in verse 9 it states

       "For do we not read that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and in him there is no variableness neither shadow of changing?" 

       So if God really is unchanging and we know he has performed miracles in the past we know that "God has not ceased to be a God of miracles"(Mormon 9:15) He is the SAME yesterday today and FOREVER! Now if you have a hard time actually believing this (which I did) read verse 20 which says

        "And the reason why he ceaseth to do miracles among the children of men is because that they dwindle in unbelief, and depart from the right way, and know not the God in whom they should trust" which brings me to my...

         

-COMMITMENT OF THE WEEK- 

        READ Mormon 9 and then look for ways that you can that YOU can SEE THE MIRACLES! Do not dwindle in unbelief! Build your relationship with God, get to know him and TRUST him. I promise you YOU WILL see miracles because he is the same loving and unchanging God!

I hope you all have a fantastic week! (If you are I'd love hear about them) LOVE YOU LOTS❤   -Sister Fotheringham
