Elder Bloxham - Promised Land!!!

Things are going so great here in Northern Kentucky!!!! I'm excited to email today, I don't know why!! I'm just exceptionally excited today!!

     

This week has been amazing! But to start it off I want to give y'all a quote:

"I do not equate my body with His in its refinement, in its capacity, in its beauty and radiance. His is eternal. Mine is mortal. But that only increases my reverence for Him. I worship Him “in spirit and in truth.” I look to Him as my strength. I pray to Him for wisdom beyond my own. I seek to love Him with all my heart, might, mind, and strength. His wisdom is greater than the wisdom of all men. His power is greater than the power of nature, for He is the Creator Omnipotent. His love is greater than the love of any other, for His love encompasses all of His children, and it is His work and His glory to bring to pass the immortality‍ and eternal life of His sons and daughters of all generations." President Gordon B. Hinckley

I was reading this talk from President Gordon B. Hinckley which is titled "The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost." This quote here is talking about God the Father. I just thought this was so amazing because when I think about the Prophet I always think they are so perfect. But that is not true. They still go through hard times and they still get tempted by Satan. But more importantly, he relies on the Lord for protection and strength! Also, when President Hinckley wrote this, it is him baring testimony. He is so humble, and gives everything unto the Lord!

I have been trying and striving to be more submissive in all that I do. As I read this talk, it helped me to gain some more strength and courage to do so! I want to look unto the Lord in every thought, and never doubt nor fear! Coming closer to the Lord and repenting daily, has allowed me to come closer to what I want to achieve. :) This really is the Lords work! Which is amazing because that means all I have to do is what he has said for us to do. Talk to everyone, extend baptism, and then rely on the spirit to show you where to go, what to do, and what to say. That is amazing! :)

For those of you at home who are trying to do missionary work, just know that everything happens on the Lords time, and if you are praying for opportunities, then the Lord will give them to you!

I love Y'all so much, and take care!!
