Spiritual Fuel

Sister Greenwood - very composed at the CCM

P-day with new CCM shirt!

How have I been here for a month?? Spanish is hard, sometimes the people are hard, sometimes all I want to do is keep playing sand volleyball, but my oh my how good the Lord is. This week I got to hear from Elder Renlund (IN PERSON) and President Nelson (via broadcast). Needless to say I have been fed immensely well spiritually. I got to shake Elder Renlund's hand!!! He talked about how we are called of God as missionaries, how the Lord cares about who we are right now, who we are becoming, that we are utilizing the Atonement, and that our missions are about Heavenly Father's children. My favorite thing he said was: "Do the best you can and try to get better." I feel like this applies so well to anyone's life. The Lord cares about who we are and what we are working towards, so keep working!

President Nelson (we watched the broadcast he did to the youth of the church) talked about how THIS IS OUR TIME. The gathering is happening now and we can be part of the Lord's batallion! We need to stand out and recognize that we are the heroes in this story. One of my favorite things that he said was, "We need you, it won't be the same without you." I challenge you all to let your faith be bigger than your fear. (Read Phil. 4: 13, 2 Tim. 4: 4-8, and 2 Nephi 31:20) We are all called to this glorious work, and we are all needed because of our individual talents and abilities. I love this gospel. :)

Perhaps a bit less composed -- jumping for joy! (She's still got hops!)

Have a splendid week!!!
