We had some exciting weather this week and had not one, but two different days where there was a typhoon! This just meant that we had to stay inside until it was gone and moved away. It was pretty crazy this time and very visible that there was a typhoon outside. But we are all safe and I am happy for the Lords protection.
During personal study this week I studied a lot about what it means to serve and be a leader. I feel that with this new opportunity I have been given it has forced me into a different side of missionary work. A lot of time is spent administering to the sisters but I am grateful for it.
I read the talk Beware of Pride (highly recommend to look over and evaluate ourselves) and Elder Uchtdorf past priesthood session talk about service. The most important thing about serving or any leadership position we have been blessed with is that we see "them" as our Heavenly Father sees them. That we are not directing them, but are willing to be directed by God and that we are lifting others to a place higher than where we are at, but always being humble and submitting to Gods will.
In everything that we do, we really are representing our Saviour. That is what it means to be a true disciple of Christ because that is what He did. How grateful I am for His perfect example and His ability to lift me up to where He stands.
The mission is an amazing time. There is no greater joy than the feeling of helping someone come unto Christ and really get to know their Savior. That is something that brings us happiness and brings the Spirit more fully in our lives.
I would say the best antidote to unhappiness is service and the best way to serve is inviting them to come unto Christ. Someone smart probably said that once :)
Hope everyone has an amazing week.
Love,
Sister Loo
