8/11/14 The Power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ...

Okay, so I'm out of time.

What's new :)
#welcome to mission life

To my siblings... I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! :) you are my motivations, my joy, my hopes
To my extended family... You are constantly in my prayers. You are my roots
To my friends..... You are my angels. You are my wings.

To my parents.... You have shaped me into who I am, and you've given me the chance to be out here. You've set my heart on fire for missionary work, and you've been patient with me to get me out here.

Thank you. I know that it is because of you that I am able to do this. Don't think for one minute that I am doing this on my own. I know I'm not. I owe everything to God, because He's given me you.

So a lot has happened this week. so much. I feel like I just emailed yesterday.

All four missionaries spoke yesterday about missionary work, the Restoration, the Plan of Salvation, and I spoke on The Gospel of Jesus Christ..

Here's some food for thought.

Want to have access to the Savior's Atoning Grace and Mercy?
Live His gospel.

You can't receive something that you don't take. It's impossible. If you sit there and say "Oh, that's nice" and then leave His gospel sitting there still, it won't do anything for you.....

So how do you receive Him? How do you Come unto Christ, not just in words, or with lip-praise....?

1)Faith..... more than believe. It is believe put in action... DOING the things you believe. Trusting Him and following as Nephi did even when you don't know what is going to happen. Faith is a principle of ACTION and POWER

2) Repent..... confess, forsake, and do everything in your power to make it right. then you try your hardest to NEVER do it again, and you mean it! You aren't doing this alone, Christ will help you do this...

3) Baptism... a covenant, a sacred promise that you don't just make an a whim. You MEAN IT. and you then KEEP IT. which means repenting, being humble like a little child and serving others. You are not your own Savior. He is. He is the only one. This ordinance is essential, which is why we are working on making it possible for everyone who has ever lived to have the opportunity. We are only making a dent in the work, but so what? :) we are helping!

4) Receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.

5) Endure to the End....the problem one for most of us here. KEEP GOING. DON'T GIVE UP.

I love you all!

This is week six. I don't think I'll be transferred, but who know :) I could be. :)

LOVE YOU ALL!

Sister Darby Miller.

p.s. Endure to the End is easier when you look for Heavenly Father's Tender Mercies in your life every day. Want to open your eyes to that? Read your scriptures. Pray. Every day. And then keep the Sabbath Day Holy and partake of the Sacrament each week.

I testify in the name of Jesus Christ that these things are true.
