Heyyyy. Well guess what? Yesterday we had an all mission conference and Elder L. Tom Perry came! He's good friends with President Jeppson and Sister Perry is President Jeppsons Cousin. It was awesome! We first all got to go up and shake his and and talk to him and then he talked to us for a while and then we did a question and answer session. He's the greatest. i cant believe he is 91 years old. does not even look like it whatsoever. It was way cool though. He talked alot about the priesthood. Yesterday was way good. we went to try and contact a referral we had received from some other misisonaries but the house number was wrong so we couldnt find her but we met a man that is way awesome and he asked us for a book of mormon! I know we were suppose to be there at that moment for that reason. I am starting to have an obsession with the war chapters in Alma. Before i just thought they were super long and repetitive. Like come on people just stop fighting. get real. haha. but there is so much to learn from them. 2 of my favorites Alma 49:20 This chapter is when Moroni is preparing his people to defend the cause of the christians. "Thus they were prepared, yea, a body of their strongest men, with their swords and their slings, to smite down all who should attempt to coe into their pace of security by the place of entrance; and thus were they prepared to defend themselves against the lamanites." How were they prepared? How can we become spiritually prepared? Alma 49:24 - "there were about fifty who were wounded, who had been exposed to the arrows of the lamanites through the pass, but they were shielded by their shields and their breastplates and their headplates, insomuch that their wounds were upon their legs, many of which were very severe" We need to put on our breastplates and shields. We do this by doing the things we need to be doin. daily scripture study, church...etc. If we are doing this then we will be prepared. we will be prepared to overcome any challenge that is thrown at us any temptation. If we are prepared there is not any wound or challenge that we cant heal or overcome. #TeamMoroni also i really love 3 Nephi 27:21 "Verily, Verily, i say unto you, this is my gospel; and ye know the things that ye must do in my curch; for the works which ye have seen me do that shall ye also do; for that whcih ye have seen me do even that shall ye do." I like this a lot related to enduring to the end. Jesus Christ endured to the end. He didnt just attempt the atonement. He did it. He completed it. He completed the most unthinkable act. there is no problem or challenge or trial that we cant overcome. We have seen him endure "for the works wich ye have seen me do that shall ye also do"
Well i am praying that i still get another transfer here in passaic because i am in love with the people and my companion. its very unlikely but i want it so bad. Haha my companion and i are so alike its so funny. and we argue but its super funny. haha. But we have seriously had some of the most amazing comp studies ever and amazing talks at night. haha its super funny because i am tryin to help her work on not being prideful and she is trying to help me be confident. haha. I love her. and yesterday was awesome. at the mission confernce with elder Perry i got to sit by sister Garn as well as with sister solomon. So that was a good day. I love my comps. Well i dont have much time but i love you all sooo so much. have a fantastic week!
Love, Hermana Josse
