mmmm... sweet food

 (Sister Cummings)

Howdy y'all!

This week was so amazing! We had Zone Conference and our Mission President instructed us to focus on the youth and YSA in our wards. Which is amazing because they're literally my favorite people to interact with! Soo, we got to go to young women's this week and it was so great! The activity was on budgeting and I feel like Sister Yochim and I learned and took in more from it than the youth! It was great!

On Saturday, Sister Yochim and I caught the train to Gawler and then literally walked ALL DAY. Our feet are still recovering but it's okay because now we can empathize with those pioneer children that walked and walked and walked and walked and walked and walked and walked and etc...

Anyways, the spiritual stuff:

I want to talk about these verses:

" 12 For the Lord had not hitherto suffered that we should make much fire, as we journeyed in the wilderness; for he said: I will make thy food become sweet, that ye cook it not"

(1 Nephi 17:12)

Y'all may be wondering, why did I choose to share that verse? Valid question. Let me answer. Because of Nephi's family's faith and sacrifices for the Lord, the Lord made their lives so much easier so that they didn't have to prepare their food. I would honestly love to never have to prepare food again but that's not the important part. Because of their faith in their Savior, the easier their lives were. Reading this made me reflect on how my Savior has made my life easier (aka made my food sweet). During this reflection I was overcome with just how much simpler my day to day life is because I have my Savior and I have my faith. It's amazing.

With this, I just want to ask y'all to reflect on how Christ has made your food sweet. You can respond and tell me about it or you can take the time to answer it in your notes app or in a journal. It'll change your perspective. I promise.

I hope y'all have a fantastic week! I love y'all!
