This week I saw so many miracles and so much self improvement. I have noticed things that seem so impossible to me become so much easier and I am so grateful to Heavenly Father for that. Hermana Ricks and I straight up PARTY all the time. We sing lots of church music together, bake with grandma, pretend like we speak each other’s languages, and pretty much just find something to laugh about all the time. The other day we discovered that the upstairs windows don’t have screens in them, so we each picked a room and stuck our heads out the window and talked to each other which was sadly one of the best kinds of entertainment we have found haha.
As for spiritual things, I have really grown to rely on and more fully love the scriptures, conference talks, and Preach my Gospel. Thanks to these resources, it isn’t half bad to dig in for at least an hour or two a day. Love it. My highlight of my week was reading through Ether 12 with my companion. EVERYBODY SHOULD READ ETHER 12. Literally every verse is so good and it took us almost 2 hours to get through the chapter cuz there were so many parts that we wanted to dig into. I especially loved learning about utilizing hope and faith together; that could be by finding ways to recognize the progress in yourself you might be failing to see. DON’T FORGET to remember how much you are improving every single day. It’s good to set specific goals too to fully appreciate how freaking cool you are for getting through each day with a win. I found so much hope in considering that the end of each day begins with an “and it came to pass” statement. Every night in my journal, I start my entry by writing “and it came to pass…” and then I say something that I did today that I didn’t think I could. I have faith that everybody has so much to “bring to pass” each day and that can make a huge difference in their lives and many other people’s lives as well.
Overall, life is so good. God knows all of us so much better than we can ever comprehend. Even just being able to feel a tiny sliver of His love for me has the power to cause my entire being to be filled with heaven’s light. I love my Heavenly Father.
Liebe, Sister Parker
