"Can y'all be worms for me please?" - Jesus

 (Sister Cummings)

Howdy y'all!

This week was a WEEK! But it was so good!

No. 1 announcement, I HAVE A NEW NEPHEW. YAYYYY

No. 2 announcement, I still haven't seen a kangaroo :/

This week was stock FULL of lessons. Sister Yochim and I were worked hard this week and were able to share so many messages. Even messages we never planned to share! It was amazing! The spirit was strong always and it was so fulfilling!

Thursday, I had exchanges (companion tradeoffs) with the STLs which was crazy because Sister Woodbury (my last companion) is my STL and we just had a grand ol time. It was like nothing changed! I love her so much! It's truly spectacular the relationships you get to make while on the mish!

Yesterday, we got to watch a devotional put on by our Mission President and his wife on zoom with one of my favorite families! They're so amazing!

Okay now moving on to the Jesus jazz,

This week, I came across a scripture that gave me so many giggles and it's found in Isaiah chapter 41 with verse 14 which states:

"Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel."

Y'all, the first message I got from this scripture is that God and Jesus Christ would still love you even if you were a worm. The second message was one that was pointed out to me by a good friend which is that the meaning of the word "worm" that Isaiah was using was "meek and humble." Meaning that when we humble ourselves before the Lord (like it says in Ether 12:27) He WILL help us. It's not that He "might" help us it's that He WILL. Isn't that amazing!!

So, my invitation to y'all is to be worms this week and turn to your Savior for peace, comfort, or whatever you are in need of.

I love y'all! Y'all are my favorite worms EVER!
