Hellooooo family again! I hope y'all had an amazing valentines day! I know I sure did. I loved all the gifts and they all made me so happy!
Anyway, I can just say....the Lord loves me A LOT. Somehow, we're having weird weather for the Panhandle and it's actually warm!!! I love it. Bike days are nice, we can go outside to work out in the morning, and people are actually outside so street contacting actually happens!! I love it so much! Plus, I don't have to live in tights everyday now, which is a grand blessing. Man, it's so funny how excited we get over simple things as missionaries! But it sure makes life so much more fun!
This week was full of service! We went to all the places, because we are really trying to do the 10 hours of service a week that has been asked of us. It's pretty hard to fit in, but we did it! We were at Salvation Army, Meals on Wheels, a senior center, a food/clothing pantry, with a member family that has to move, and even cleaning up at the church! It was so much fun and I know so well after all this service in my mission, that it just makes life and everyday so much more fulfilling and happier!
I think that's another one of my favorite things about this gospel, it just makes everything better. We may know Christ, but when we receive His restored gospel, we know Him even better. We may feel the Spirit, but when we keep our covenants, we feel Him even stronger. We may have a loving family, but when we put Christ at the center of our homes, were even closer. It truly is amazing!
The work with a lot of our investigators was hard this week. But I know, as we continue to follow the spirit in teaching them and work to find more people and families to teach, things will continue to progress. Some days, it's hard to convince myself of that, but that's why endurance and patience and perseverance are asked of us. Sister Harvey and the Lord, through a whole lot of prayers, help me to keep working my best and invite and help every person I meet come unto Christ through His restored gospel!
Being a disciple of Jesus Christ, whether with or without a name tag, will never be easy, but it is the best path we can ever walk. It's full of growth, peace, and hope! It truly is the path to eternal life. This gospel is true. Never let anyone tell you it's not or that it's too hard to keep living. It's true!
I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week!!
Love,
Hermana Peck
