I'm enjoying being in Perpignan, it's so much fun to call members and remember working with them before. We did a lot of calls this week, and it's beautiful to feel the spirit as we share messages of peace with them. And being encouraged by them in return. 😊
Work with amis comes and goes, but that's true when we're out of confinement too ! I'm not seeing a ton of success right now, but I figure we'll just keep trying a bunch of different things, and God will help us do His will. 😂
This week I worked on studying discipline, because let's be honest, it's very easy to let discipline slip in a quarantine. 😅 It made a huge difference in my week ! I wasted a lot less time, and my studies became a lot better (I'd been a little less serious with them recently, because I was having trouble staying motivated), and I saw soooo many blessings ! I really immersed myself in my study of Isaiah, and even though I'm probably only understanding a thousandth part of what's there, it's POWERFUL. And having the time to ponder afterwards while cleaning has just been such a cool blessing. I love the wide view Isaiah gives. Humans have such a short term perspective, but I feel like Isaiah helps me understand God's perspective a little bit more. He's such a loving God. A wise God. A thoughtful God. An organized, methodical God. A patient, merciful God. Who wants to see us become the best that we can be. It's actually calmed my anxiety a bit too, because when I start to get an inkling of just how much He knows, and how well planned out this entire earth's history is, I worry less. It's SO much bigger than me and my influence. I'm a grain of sand in a universe of beaches. I can't mess this up. All I have to do- all that's expected of me- is to work hard to glorify my God and follow the commandments with the highest degree of obedience that I'm capable of. And push to be better. The big stuff, the world trends, plagues, international obstacles and pieces I don't see fitting together ? That's not my problem. God's got it all under control.
That's about all... OH ! I bought a tiny rose bush !!! It makes me very happy. I still need to come up with an overly pretentious french name for it. Stay tuned. It's the little things 😁
Love you guys !
