We were blessed this week to be given a few names from the Sisters to follow up with, the first being a Tongan family. Aunty made us lu and it was just like Harbord. Good day. After their family, we got to meet a 17 year old kid and teach the Restoration, which felt really good. I feel like I haven't been able to teach it in a while , but the Spirit is always there when you do.
It's been really humbling to meet people under many different circumstances. Sometimes growing up, I thought life was so incredibly hard. I feel like I would always be complaining about something. BUT. Looking back, we always had food on the table, a roof over our heads, two parents, and something called love, which some people out here have never felt. I honestly can't imagine living life without love. It almost seems pointless.
Which leads me to my next point. Goals. We've been sharing a message to the members about goals and how they are the beauty of the Gospel. We can always stop, reflect, and re-evaluate. If our foundation needs to be stronger, we can re-focus. Some of the older members have shared their experiences and how goals have blessed their lives. It's interesting because they've said that a lot of their friends outside the church have no purpose in life. Why would you want to live like that?
And finally, Fast & Testimony Sunday. It feels so good to be in a Ward with kids again. Makes me feel at home. Gosford has such a good balance between young families and the wisdom seniors. There were 3 common themes from the testimonies born: prayer, love, and service. All three of them are simple principles of the Gospel, but help us to grow immensely. How grateful I am for eternal progression and the opportunity we have to become the best that Christ wants us to be.
Love you's heaps!
