Skye and Stefanie come for a visit and take Elder Pennington out for lunch. |
Elder Luthy has been transferred haha. He only stayed one month with me, and now he is going back to
Riverside. My new companion is Elder
Olsen, and he has been out the same amount of time as me. He has been in the ASL Branch a good chunk of
his mission. I am excited to be able to work with him. I am super grateful for the opportunity I had
to be able to learn from him!
I really have learned to love the scriptures more, and he was able to
help push me a long. As I have been
reading through the Bible again, I am in Galatians and it is super cool how you
learn about bearing one another’s burdens and how you reap what you sow. Being a follower takes a lot of action. James tells us to be doers not hearers and how
Faith without works is dead being alone. It is a process and you have to act on your
faith.
I talked to a guy that said if my message is so good why do I have to
be peddling my faith around. Jesus
Christ sent his apostles out at the end of the gospel of Matthew specifically,
to teach all nations. Jesus Christ walked
and shared his faith. He did not just
sit his entire ministry. He was out
working and being an example. I have a
strong faith in Jesus Christ, and that we need to practice what we teach and
lead by example and those works will help you increase your faith.
