My Heart's Melting

Hello friends!!!!

This week was filled with a lot of virtual tours most of which were in ASL. It made me so happy in all of them to see the joy our new friends have found in this gospel. One of these tours in particular was really touching. His name was David.  He recently joined the church and wow he was such a light. He was so happy to see all the buildings and learn of all the history and stories of the early church members. He was always asking questions and adding his own testimony to the saints. The whole time I couldn't help but think 'wow he's just my new friend!' Well we got to the end of the tour and I signed to him that he was my new best friend. His reaction was priceless as his response was that his "heart was melting". Like that didn't make me happy enough I messaged the elders afterwards to tell them thank you and how amazing it all was and their response was everything. They said that this was the happiest they've seen him in a long time. That "he sacrificed a lot of friends to join the gospel so when you said he is your best friend, it touched all of us. Thank you for the spirit you brought and everything you do". Well friends in that moment my heart was the one melting. );

This week we had zone conference which was so so good and was really needed. I was asked to sing in a group of four yet again. This was the 3rd time. I have no idea who keeps telling people I sing because in case you didn't know...I don't!!! Oh well, all in all I do enjoy singing and I do love the spirit the beautiful hymns bring. Who knows maybe after doing all these musical numbers I'll improve a little. We shall see.

This week I've really just found myself being so thankful to be able to walk on holy grounds every day and in the shadow of the temple. Despite being in a busy city there is so much peace and such a strong spirit to be felt in just 10 acres. The sacrifices that were made and the faith that the members had is so evident in every thing to be found here. Everyday I'm taught by the early saints about what it means to be true followers of Christ. And everyday I can feel myself growing closer to the Savior. I know that He lives and that it is because of Him that I can have so much joy in this life and the one to come. God is so good and if you ever forget that just get on your knees and pray. He will not hesitate to show His love to you even if that means doing so in ways you may not expect. 

God is good!

He loves you!
