Food for the Righteous

Maria's Baptism

"Living After the Manner of Happiness" Moments:

-*jamming out to an awesome 80's song in the street while waiting for a member* Hna. Tukuafu:"Is this a Mexican song or does it belong to YOUR people?" Haha, I sure do love "my" people in the US. ;)

-Learned how to sing "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" in Tongan. I am officially partially American, Mexican, and Tongan.

-Maria GOT BAPTIZED. Wow she is amazing. She can't stop telling us how much the Gospel of Christ has changed her life and how happy she is. She truly radiates the light of Christ.

Hermanas Greenwood & Tukuafu with Maria

The majority of this week was absolutely amazing. And the only parts that weren't amazing were when I wasn't looking for the miracles that were right under my nose.

In the little book that I have to write my "happiness" moments, I decided to also write all of the tender mercies and ways that I have seen the Lord's hand in my life. I have tried this time after time in the past, and usually stop doing it after a week or so. But this past week, seeing the difference it made in my attitude has rejuvinated my motivation to do it again.

Study Area

I want to share something with you that my Grandma and Grandpa told me this past week in their email to me:

"Though Satan loves to discourage, he never seems to realize that it usually turns out to be food for the righteous, because stronger faith comes from overcoming what he has presented.  The Lord turns all of Satan's antics into benefits."

I know it gets hard, it gets hard because Satan is very real. But God is real too, and the power of His love will always win. Always remember to turn to Heavenly Father in the times of trouble. He will fill you with strength and love. It is the best food you could ever have.

You are all so wonderful!!! Have an amazing week!!!

Love, Hermana Greenwood:)
