All of the emails I got today were perfect. Thank you so much. I was feeling really down on myself and I felt like such a schmuck, for lack of a better word, and the emails I got today really helped me feel better.
Well...to update you on the work. We have 1 investigator...with a baptismal date! YAY! She's lived such a crazy life and I don't even know how she's still going...but it solidifies my tesitmony of the Atonement...anyone can change. Anyone can become new. We're trying to meet with the members work to get referrals and just to get to know them. We don't have much to do, and the best way to do missionary work is through the members so we are going to start there.
Its been an interesting week. Sorella Stott and I have been sick for the past 2 weeks, so its been hard. Im so ready to just feel well and get going. I wrote in my journal last night about how I was a little frustrated about being sick, especially this close to ...you know...and how I wanted to give everything without holding back.
I was writing, '' as soon as we feel better, we're going to be working so hard we wish we were sick so that we could slow down for a minute'' I plan on finshing strong and going home near dead. I want to give my all and I want to do my best.
Ive been having a lot of dreams about coming home and feeling unsatisfied with my work...kind of sucks, but that's not going to be me. I can do this...because Im not doing it alone. I have my companion, my support from you all, and I have Heavenly Father. This is His work. ''Whom the Lord calls, He qualifies'', He is and has always has been helping me. Im pretty sure, Id be dead by now if He hadn't-
I got an email from Sorella Harward. When we were companions, we talked about a marathon runner. She said ''don't you think he got tired too at the end of the race? its because he was running this whole time. you're tired because you're doing your job''. She wrote that to me today and it reminded me that ''hey. yeah its ok that I'm tired and I want to sit down, or maybe even give up sometimes. at least it shows ive been running. at least I've been running''
This brings me back to something I wrote last week, I think..at least Im still walking. I'm still here, I'm still trying, and while the Master says there is still time I need to keep going.
I feel like a bomb about to explode...things always get hard right before a big miracle comes and its coming soon. I feel it. The Lord is preparing something for us and I have faith in His power. He has worked miracles in my life and in the lives of those around me.
I love the Lord. I love Him. He is so merciful and so present in my life. I am not alone. We are never alone.
This was a good email session. Thanks for all of your help. I feel better now.
I hope that by talking to me through email, I might offer something to you as well.
I know that God lives and love us. He is such an active Parent and wants us to let Him in so we can feel of His love. I feel His love everyday and I long to feel it more.
Mommy, I really hope you do well on your test. I know that you can do it. You're my mommy! You can do anything! I am praying for you. Go get 'em!
Evie, I know you're going to rock it. Just remember what your arm-wrap says. YOU WILL! Teamwork is key. Be a team player.
Tanney, I hope you do well in school today and learn a lot. You are such a strength. You is kind, you in smart, you is important. Remember how special you are. YA THA BEST!
I don't have much to write this week either. There is much to say, other than I love you. I'm committed, I'm still going. I can't wait to see you and hug you and kiss you again! Its going to be a really sacred experience and I can't wait. You are my strength and my joy. Be good. Be happy. Be strong,
Never give up ;)
Sorella Carlock
