God Is Love.

We gathered as a mission to learn about God this week. 

To feel and understand his love. 

It was silent the whole time. 

A time where it truly just got to be me and God. 

I love getting to spend time with Him. 

There were so many thoughts and impressions i received. 

But the one that is most important to me is 

God is love. 

I was shown this love as i went to the temple this week. 

As we approached the temple I saw a member, who i love so much, waiting to enter in the temple. 
As we saw each other we embraced and i asked what she was doing there!
For the duration of my time I was in this area we were working with this member to get her temple recommend again. 
There were so many battles that seemed to be standing in her way that prevented her to getting to come back. 
I will never forget when she said, "i did it!" "I got my recommend and my garmets back!" 
Tears started to stream down my face as i watched her enter the house of the Lord. 

I knew she would make it back. 
The lord made sure of it. 

As i sat down in the baptistry i was able to witness 5 new members and 1 returning member be baptised for their family. 

This is what heaven looks like. 

So many stories stood in that font that day. 

Stories of redemption, forgiveness, and change. 

Heavenly Father is truly in relentless pursuit of his children. 
That is what i witnessed in his holy house that day. 
A day i will never forget. 

He is a lover of effort. 
And second chances. 
God is love.

My heart is full. 
I am loving every single moment. 
I am so ready to continue on this journey to bringing his children back to him. 

One way that the God is showing his love to me is through letting me experiencing his whole vineyard! 

I will be moving to Liverpool tomorrow! 

Which means i have officially served in every single zone in my mission. 

In each place i have served i have truly experienced the love. 
And i cant wait to experience it in Liverpool. 

His love is kind. 
His love is forgiving. 
His love is strong. 
His love is first. 
His love is real. 

I love him, because he loved me first! 

I love you!
He loves you perfectly!

"But Now I Behold The Marvelous Light Of God."

It was another beautiful week.  I feel like Heavenly Father is being so gracious to me, especially right now.  I feel that he is giving me so many opportunities to experience him.  The grace that is being extended each day is so much more apparent than it has been before.  Maybe because i feel like he is refining me more than he ever has before.  I feel that lately Heavenly Father has been reminding me of my journey through bringing to my remembrance the many times his grace has shined through and saved me.  A fresh start.  No tracks behind but rather a beautiful path ahead.  I often wonder how this has all been made possible.  How one who was so obliviously lost and broken could be transformed.  How could it be possible?  Why is there someone who cares so deeply for us to change?  How is he so aware even when we arent?  My learning this week began with the women at the well.  A story i often turn to for reassurance....

It all began that morning at the train station.  As I sat and read about the journey I have been on the last 16 months.  Looking at that grey sky i have become so familiar with.  Listening to the birds sing.  I saw the bare trees as the moved with the subtle wind.  In that moment His love became tangible.  I became encircled.  In the arms of his love.  I have grown the greatest love for each and every day. Every moment is so sacred to me.  As i read those stories in my book i began to realise he has been here all along.  Leading me with his arms. His love filling my soul. Allowing me to move forward.  Each morning and night this last week i have pled with the Lord to give me opportunities to be refined. Asking this is not easy as opportunities arise that are stretching and truly point out my need for the Saviours help.  There were many moments this week where i gained an appreciation for the atonement. I found myself during man...
