Hej hej!
This week was pretty great. We did lots of finding work and
were able to talk to tons of people. Our most positive investigators where out
of town so we didn't really get to meet them. But that enabled us to spend a
little bit more time with some investigators that we haven't really been able
to devote a lot of time to because of other things going on. We had a couple of
break through lessons with some people. It was just a really good week.
We made pumpkin bread! The don't sell pumpkin puree in
Sweden so we had to buy a pumpkin and roast and puree it ourselves. The bread
turned out great. A little reminder of home.
This weeks scripture is a pretty special one for me. It's
one that has helped me through a lot of things in my life. We all go through
trials and sometimes we wonder why it is that God has allowed us to suffer so.
We feel that the pain or grief is undeserved or unwarranted. Yet this simple
verse can change our perspective completely if we are willing to let it.
For context, the verse follows a string of verses
containing very serious trials that
could potentially afflict Joseph Smith but then continues to end with:
"The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou
greater than he?"
We must always remember that the Lord Jesus Christ was the
most perfect person to ever live. The most undeserving of pain and suffering.
But he suffered more than we ever could. For us to assume that our lives are
unfair is to consider ourselves greater than Christ Himself. In the face of
affliction, we must humble ourselves and look to Christ Jesus for our example
and our strength.
I hope you all have a great week!
Love,
