Re: S8E3: You don't have to die to be good enough (5-22-23)

 

I need to back up my photos 👉👈

"You don't have to die to be good enough. You don't have to die to know you are good enough. You are good enough." 

Dear Family and Friends,

This week has been good. Many miracles 

However, top miracle that happened this week was to me. ❤️

Uhhhhhhhh we had the people feeding us dinner be fellowship for the lesson right afterwards but then it canceled and then we just ended up having a lesson with them

1 Nephi 8:8

"And AFTER had traveled for the space of many hours in darkness, I began to pray unto the Lord that he would have mercy on me, according to the multitude of his tender mercies."

We invited them to work on asking for helping, especially from Heavenly Father.

This sister bore her testimony about how his grace sufficient and you are enough making while direct eye contact with Sister Martin who then cried 👍 

This Sister used to struggle with anorexia to the point where she was dying. 

"You don't have to die to know you are good enough" 

big uno verse....especially because Sister Martin might struggle with knowing she is enough. Yep. Sister Martin definitely cried. 

Speaking in third person is highly recommended by Sister Martin if you are tryingt to avoid confronting. 

Each day we have met multiple people that needed us at that exact time and people we could potentially teach 🙌  Here are the two of them:

1) We had a lesson with these crazy kids with two single moms. After the lesson, the other mom came home crying. She was with her family and it was rough. They resent her because her past mom hated the church. We got to just sit and hug her. Mom is a power house of Christ light. 

2) We were with these recent converts. We talked about finding comfort and peace in the gospel and then Joseph's Smiths first vision! They opened up to us about their struggles with Joseph Smith but that they have faith to get through it! It was so cool because usually we don't use the first vision story if we are not teaching the restoration but we were prompted too! 

What have I learned? Follow the spirit. Teach the truth. Love the people. 

I know that this church is Jesus Christ church. I know the book of Mormon is true. I know that there is power in keeping our covenants. I know Heavenly loves me. 

I love you all.

You are good enough 

You were good already for Jesus. 

Ask for help again 

Get up again 

-Sister Martin 

Moroni 7:48

...that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure

D&C 100:12 

Therefore, continue your journey and let your hearts rejoice; for behold, and lo, I am with you even unto the end.

Russel M Nelson

"God lives! Jesus is the Christ. He stands at the head of this Church. We are His servants. He will help us to become His peacemakers. I so testify in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen."

Psalms 46:10 

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth

Also this happened:

Sister Martin be like: How do I teach this concept better?

Elder Alonso of the Seventy: I will tell you, but don't teach it to anybody this way.

(basically the 2nd half of zone conference)
