And His Name Shall Be Called Wonderful.

At times it just hasn't seemed fair that one who is perfect would have to suffer for the imperfect. 

Why would a Father want to give up his Son for the misuse of man's agency? 

It has led me to think about what would life be like without a Saviour?

Could we do it? Could we manage it all alone? 

In my moments where I have felt the farthest away from my Saviour my world has felt like the heartaches would last forever.
That all of my wounds would never heal.
That happiness, peace, and God could never be obtained. 
That was my world. 
It is a pain im sure at one time we have or will experience. 

But, it is through those moments where i have experienced the need for Jesus Christ. 

A weight that would be unbearable to carry on my own. 

Life would be impossible. 

In those moments he could've left me on my own but, He's here. 

Because of the love of the Father. 

For unto us a child is born.
Unto us a son is given.
And his name shall be called Wonderful.

The night before I moved I to Liverpool I had the most overwhelming feeling that I was going to experiences some of the greatest miracles during my time here. 

Over the last week I have truly witnessed the hand of the living god. 

From miracles on the buses and trains
to meeting so many prepared children of god. 

He is truly here in Liverpool. 

As I sat in the temple today my mind started playing moments in my life where the Saviour met me and lifted me up. 
Oh how i wish i could see them there. 
In those places. 
He truly was sitting there with me. 
Crying with me. 
Laughing with me. 
Hugging me. 
Im so grateful for those tender experiences.  

Each day i truly experience his healing touch. 
I know he walks with me and my companion. 
His light is shining bright.  
We witness it everyday. 

He is truly wonderful. 
It is the name he deserves to be called. 

The most important miracle of all is the birth of him who is mighty to save.

He has created my story of redemption. 
He is who brings the light into my world. 
He is truly wonderful. 

I love you! 
I pray for you! 

With love, 

Sister B

GOD LOVES!!!!

HIYA HIYA!!!  Wow the weeks just keep getting faster and faster I can't believe it! WELCOME TO DECEMBER! In England we've been celebrating Christmas since November and I wouldn't want it any other way! I'm glad all my American peeps are up to speed now! Send me fun things you are doing for the holiday season this year! I would love to hear about it!  So many ups and downs this week but as I'm able to reflect on the miracles of the week I am so humbled! The lord truly works with all of the effort I put in each day. He truly magnifies my offerings. I have really felt the burning of the refiners fire this week and at moments the fire gets really hot and I want to step away or I question why does it have to hurt sometimes? But those are the moments where I am able to have the greatest conversation with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Those moments where I get to plead on my knees for strength and help. And instantly they lift me up and carry me along!  I'm so prou...

Bor Da my fish and chips lovers!! Wow this last week has been a blur of awesomeness:)) I finally made it to the mtc with extremely heavy luggage and a big smile on my face!  I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY! There's nothing more special than being here in Provo surrounded by 1000000 missionaries. Goodbyes are hard but all I know according to my sister Rilee is that I have 514 days until I will be home in good Ole SJ:)) So not too bad... but until then I'm ready to devote my time to the lord and bring his children back!  There's so many amazing things I have learned over the last week but this email I'm going to focus on how amazing conference was!!!  Getting to watch conference at the MTC was so special. It's definitely going to be one of my most cherished memories from being a missionary.  Here are some of my takeaways from conference:  • God loves me individually and perfectly • The holy ghost speaks to everyone individually  • God's timing is perfect. So have t...

Let Us RUN With Patience The Race That Is Set Before Us.

Image
My mission has been the ultimate race.  Its a race i felt like i trained for for a long time.  I felt ready to run.  But quickly into this race i realised that i was far from prepared.  I didnt realise how steep the climb was going to be or how many roadblocks and detours i was going to have to take and conquer.  I learned quite fast that sprinting as fast as i could wasnt going to help me win this kind of race.  Something I came on my mission with was a full backpack.  Packed full of a collection of things from over the years.  Full of doubts  Full of insecurities  Full of sadness Full of brokenness  This backpack was really heavy.  It was a backpack that was full of the wrong equipment. Despite the weight I continued to try and run.  It was then a few months into this race i realised i wouldnt be able to run anymore with this bag dragging behind me.  But its hard to let go of things youve held onto for a long time. ...
