We attended the Worldwide Missionary training today in the Raiwaqa Building. We were so uplifted. Here are some of my notes:
When we do our best, the Lord will not let us fail. He is a God of miracles; we just have to have faith. Help is always available in His way which is so much better than we could ever foresee. His miracles come in His own time and in His own way.
Wishing will not make it so. The Lord expects actions
Elder Nelson: Love is the life and lubricant of missionary work. Saving those who have wandered is just as important as finding those who have never heard the gospel.
Elder Packer: Live so you can abandon the script and teach trusting in the Spirit. The revelations come when you start--you must begin first. The word of the Lord came into my mind--always works when one is obedient. Everybody is a teacher in the church. The greatest teaching in the church comes from mothers.
Repent means to back tract to where one went off the path. Then one can proceed to be better, to do His will and grow. The challenges one will have will help one grow.
Worked hard the rest of the day so that we could go to a movie this evening. Met Elder and Sister Wells who brought Sister Hogge (her husband had stuff to do), Elder and Sister Edwards, Elder and Sister Updike at Tapoo City's (a huge store) food court for a fast dinner and then we walked over to see Man of Steel. I loved the movie until the final battle scene which went on forever and ever.
I wonder if the final battle scene of this earth will go on that long. It is so good to know exactly how that final battle scene will end because just like in the movies it is soothing to know that the good guy--The Savior--will be victorious. The peace this knowledge brings can not be underestimated.
What a blessing it is to KNOW.
