Sorry I'm such a slacker! The holidays and family just got the best of me and I just haven't had the chance to get back into it. But fear not. Because I haven't forgotten about you!
I wanted to share a short thought from last week.
I bore my testimony in Sacrament Meeting.
bee.tee.dubs.
The 18 year old missionaries are back. Meaning that there are 20 year old freshman here at BYU. It's kinda weird.
Anyways.
I was thinking about something that my little brother said when we we were skyping him on Christmas. He said that his biggest challenge in the MTC was knowing exactly what to say to help their investigator, but not knowing how to say it because of the language barrier.
Now I'm sure this is something that a lot of missionaries experience, especially those learning a new language. But it got me thinking about sharing our testimonies. We have the opportunity to share it each and every day, mostly in our native tongue or for those of you serving in a foreign language, you've had enough experience now where it's not that difficult to share what you believe. But how often do we turn down that opportunity? How often do we forget to do the easy things?
My hope is that we will each try a little harder to share the simple truths of the gospel with anyone who comes on our path. Whether that's just by your example, by actually bearing your testimony, or my some other form, don't take for granted the things that you know to be true.
Especially when you come home. Make it a goal now to continue to share the gospel just like you did as a missionary. There is always more to do and more people to reach out to.
I hope y'all each had a wonderful holiday season and that you got to spend some time thinking about our Savior. Now resolve to be more like Him Ü
Have a good one!
♥love, Mary
