So I just got a call to train this week! I'm super excited but I'm also super nervous! Elde4r Simmons has been such a great leader. I don't know if I have the strength to lead a brand new missionary but I've been praying and the phrase whom the Lord calls, he qualifieth, so I'm about to put that to the test! haha
Pretty great week this week! I'll start with bad news. The Severinos just dropped us :/ We got an 8 page message of thank you, but don't come back. That kinda sucked cuz we had a lot of faith for them but the counsel that came from it was priceless. I learned a principle from a question: The Lord's prupose is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of all men. If everyone doesn't gain eternal life, did the Lord fail? No. A little deeper, if the Lord appeared personally to a man and told him to repent, and he doesn't, did he fail then? No. It comes down to agency. So, I got another testimony of how much agency is a factor.
Kenny is progressing just as well as ever! He brought up the word of wisdom on his own and said "I can't drink tea after I'm baptized, right?" We said "no", then he was like "Ok, I can do that!" ...so yeah, his faith constantly blows my mind. He wasn't able to come to church this week cuz of serious medical conditions. He wasn't even able to come out to talk to us on Saturday, so we're praying for him.
Oh crap, my ride is here early. SHOOT. Well, I'll let you know how the Chaddas are doing (the referral) and Kenny and Shelly next week!
I love you and miss you all!!
God is good. Hurrah for Israel!!
Elder Judy
