This last Sunday, I attended my first stake conference of my mission!!! In all of my areas, I have been transferred into an area right after stake conference or I have been transferred out of an area right before stake conference. I really enjoyed the meeting. It was really good.
This week was a pretty good week even if it was slow.
We had a worldwide missionary conference with the missionary executive council. I loved what Elder Bednar said in the broadcast about how Heavenly Father is the one who gives us success, it isn't anything that we do. That I think has helped me to realize that just because we aren't seeing success right now doesn't mean that Heavenly Father doesn't want to grant it to us, it just means that we have to continue in faith and pray for the success because as we do, we see that success. That was something that I already knew but I think it is interesting to see that we really do need reminders from our Heavenly Father. Many times, those reminders come as calls to repentance. I think that recognizing that success does come from Heavenly Father and relying on Him and his son is a great way to repent.
Another call to repentance that I received from the broadcast was the fact that I do not have to know that something is revelation or inspiration to act on something. I just have to know that it something good and then I must do it. I think that is something that I have been struggling with for a while. I have desired to know that something was revelation before I went and did it when that is not necessary. I look forward to implementing that in this work.
The last call to repentance that I thought was noteworthy happened when I was writing in my journal one night. I was thinking about what I was going to write about and I remembered a general authority talking about writing about how we see the hand of God in our day. I thought that is what I would right about. I thought that was an interesting connection to how the thought to see the hand of God in my day was a call to repentance. It is a good reminder that a call to repentance can be just as simple as to look for the Hand of God in my day or to go and do good or to ask for and look to God for success. I look forward to making these changes and seeing how I draw closer to my Heavenly Father.
