I Suoi Mani
Buongiorno tutti!
Ye call me aMaster and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and aMaster, have bwashed your feet; ye also ought to cwash one another’s dfeet. For I have given you an aexample, that ye should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. If ye know these things, ahappy are ye if ye do them.
I don’t have control over what others do, whether they accept the gospel or not, but I do have control if I do my best to follow the Savior’s example. As I love and serve others, everyone – my investigators, this branch, my companion, the sisters I am living with, etc., then I can feel accepted of the Lord. Christ has died for me. He has completely condescended below us all so that we too may conquer death. As I lean on Him to be filled with love towards others, I can be an effective missionary. I just have to try my best. I am here on a mission to do what He wants me to do. I am merely His hands. And I am so, so, so imperfect at it, but He will help me. If we serve others and strive to love them and we remember our Savior always, we will be happy. That’s why we’re here, to be happy. And as we rely on Jesus Christ, we will find that happiness.
I know that God answers prayers and as we lean on Him and look to the scriptures for answers, He will answer.
I love you all, and I know that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is real. I love and treasure this time as a missionary. It is harder than I ever could have imagined, but it is more rewarding and beautiful than words can ever explain.
Vi voglio bene,
Sorella Strong
