We were able to have two big meetings this past week:

ZONE CONFERENCE

Sister Hubbard and I gave a training on using the Book of Mormon to respond to objections. 

It was really cool to reflect on what all the Book of Mormon really has gone through. page 1 starts 600 YEARS before Christ was even born! Lehi was a real person with real problems. Every word was written from someones soul! No i don't know everything, but I do know that the Book of Mormon truly is a record of some of the ancient Americas. I know it stands as a second witness to the Bible that Jesus Christ is real. that he really did come to earth and calm stormy seas. I invite you to allow Christ to become a reality in your life. I promise as you do you will be enlightened and you will understand why things are the way they are.

We all know that faith can move mountains. But i believe faith is KNOWING Christ can move the mountain, but trusting he knows when to move it.  

MISSION LEADERSHIP COUNCIL (mlc)

This is a time where the "leaders" of the mission get together and President Bateman trains us on how we can be more effective servants.

Something that really stood out to me is..
A sheep herder takes care of lambs! he gets them to where he needs to go by training dogs to nip at the lambs ankles, thus scaring them in the direction he wants them to go.
A shepherd is someone who leads a flock of lambs, from the front. All of the Lambs trust the shepherd! The way they have learned to trust the shepherd is because when they are younger the lamb legs are broken and the Shepherd places it on his shoulders and literally carries it until it learns to trust him. 

As we place this in context of the gospel, we all know Christ is our Shepherd. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ will NEVER lead us through fear. But I testify trials that we go through allow to learn to TRUST the Savior. He will always lead from the front.

Faith and fear cannot dwell in the same space.

Please accept the Saviors invitation and "repent of your sins, and be converted, that I may heal you" (3 N 9:13)

To repent means simply to change. take a step towrad Christ, Make a change today! You will heal.
