This week's spiritual thought is on charity! So we all know charity is the pure love of Christ, but how and are we seeking charity? It is stated in the book of Moroni chapter 10, that if you have charity, it will be well with you in the last day. The book of Mormon and the bible describes charity as the pure love of Christ and they also list a bunch of Christlike attributes to go with, like kind, long suffering etc. In the general conference talk, charity never faileth by Silvia H Allred, she describes charity as not a single act or something we give away but a state of being, a state of the heart, kind feelings that engender loving actions. So how do we gain charity? First is to pray for charity, and to see your neighbors as God sees them. Next is to act. We all have good intentions and ideas to serve, but if me never do it, then they're both but ideas. A popular saying on the mission is: goals without action is daydreaming. I promise that as we act on good promptings to serve and love others, that charity will come! I hope everyone has a great week!
The funny stuff:
So for the first time since I stepped foot in England, I didn't wear tights or leggings. It felt amazing
I have a tights addiction. Every time we go to a shop on Monday, I always have to look at the tights. I don't know why, they're all the same, but I Have to look!
We have exchanges again this week, but it's the end of the month, so we have no money. Like half of what the mission teaches you is how to be broke, but still do stuff.
My district has been talking about a possible nerf gun war for Monday. If that happens, I'm hiding from sister gaugau. She's savage, you don't mess with her.
On the train ride to runcorn, I found a ladybug, and basically kept it in my hands until the next stop. I don't understand bug logic, because the whole time I had it on the bus, it was trying to fly away, but once I got it outside, I had to blow it off my hand.
I always look both sides of the street, even on one way roads. Wanna know why? BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHICH SIDES THE CARS ARE ON!!! I'm still a bit bitter about this part of england.
I met a dog that snorted just like Jake and it totally made me homesick.
Sister Poussard kept messing with my hair, so by the end of the exchange, any effect my hair spray had was lost. It's ok though, because I kept calling her big mama.
I drew a reverse mermaid in sister pogisho testimony book (by request). If anyone doesn't know what a half mermaid is: basically a fish head and fins, but with human legs
