This week I watched the Bible videos starting at the last supper all the way until Christ's Resurrection.
Let's just say the hymn "I Stand All Amazed" was BLASTING in my head.
"I stand ALL amazed at the love Jesus offers me. Confused at the grace that SO FULLY he proffers me. I TREMBLE to know that FOR ME He was Crucified. That FOR ME, a sinner, He SUFFERED, he BLED and DIED."
"Oh it is WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL to me."
Jesus Christ was
Whipped
Spit upon
Mocked
Wounded
Persecuted
And killed.
For me.
For you.
"I TREMBLE to know that FOR ME He was Crucified."
It's an overwhelming thought.
ALL that suffering ALL that agony.
He was willing to go through because of His incredible and perfect love.
For you.
The love He has for you is never ending!! Never changing!! It will NEVER go away.
I love my Savior. I love Him so much it sometimes hurts. He has never ever left my side & never ever will.
I love Him & I love putting on this tag everyday. I never ever want to take it off.
We called a man this week & asked if he wanted to hear a message about Jesus!!!! He said "what does that even mean?? Jesus lives next door??"
Ummm can I move into that neighborhood???
Also no, we don't want to share a message about your cousin Jesus?? This Jesus is 100% more interesting than your cousin.
He disagreed.......
We had a "health and safety day" on Tuesday. A full day of meetings and cleaning. No proselyting allowed.
THAT DAY I promised myself I would never go to the doctor or the dentist on my mission.
Purely as a promise to myself that I would stay healthy!!!!!!!!!! NOT because I'd rather die than go without my mom!!!! And NOT because I don't know anything about insurance!!!!!
Heavenly Father said "get over it" and the NEXT DAY I snapped my permanent retainer!!!!! With a dum dum!!
I am a dum dum.
This week we were in quarantine..... I might have been exposed to Covid...... BUT it really was a blessing. We made some SOLID plans to help our ward members!!!!
"View church members as really advanced investigators.... they all have the same needs!! They all need spiritual nourishment" - A LEGEND aka brother green.
Look out for your ward members!!! Your friends and neighbors!! Minister to them! Let them know you care about them, EVERYONE needs to be reminded of that sometimes.
I LOVE you all & I LOVE Louisiana.
