This
week was a challenging one for me. I struggled with some kind of being
sick. I'm better now, don't you worry. But it was hard to just stay in
my apartment cause I was sick. I just wanted to be out working and
teaching.
The thing is though... you know its hard to have a
short term companion... you have all the responsibility and you
basically teach everything cause she doesn't really know anything... and
I think I got sick because heavenly father was trying to teach me a
lesson. I make mistakes, and I sometimes just think that I can do
everything on my own... but I'm not Super Missionary Sister Young.. I'm
just Sister Young and I can't do anything if I don't rely on the
Atonement of Jesus Christ.
What I mean is that
I am stubborn and I was trying to just do it all on my own. Not asking
for the help that I knew that I needed. Why? I don't know. But I was
reading in my personal study a couple of days ago in alma 7:11-13 where
it talks about all the things that Christ went through for us.... and it
hit me like a rock. I can do a lot of things on my own, but I can't
accomplish what HE wants to be accomplished if I just try and do it
myself. I learn alot, repented a lot, and now I am better.
I
know i've said this before, but the atonement is not just to us to be
cleaned from our sins, but it is for us to grow, and to over come our
challenges, and to become who HE knows that we can become. WE are so
special to have him.
Sister Camille got
baptized this week! She is so great. I know that as she continues in the
gospel and studies her testimony will grow and she will do great things
in her life!
Have a great week everyone! (: \
Love, Your sister Missionary,
Sister Young
