House Upon a Rock

Hey everyone! :) 

Wow, what a week it has been. I've learned sooooo much this week. I knew progress was awaiting me with transfers happening, and now that I've been here for about 2 weeks, it has come true haha. 

There have been a lot of challenges this week--new sector, new companion, new everything. I felt like I started my mission all over again haha, since it was my first time being transferred after a year. And through it all, I've learned now more than ever what it means to rely on Christ. I have never felt so strongly the strengthening power of the Atonement. It makes me brave. It makes me endure. It makes me not worry about what other people think. It gives me a reason to believe I can and should do difficult things. And as I do the right thing, no matter how difficult, no matter how much it seems like I should be suffering, I feel extremely happy. And that happiness is overwhelmingly reassuring because it's undeniable. My faith is becoming unbreakable. And wow is that something I needed to learn. This for me, is a testimony of many things. That God really does inspire the transfers, that I can learn more through the spirit, faith, and action than I ever could just through study, the power of Christ is real, the spirit really is a comfort, everything that Jesus taught in Matthew 5 is true, and so much more. 

So now I'm just praying with all my heart that I can stay firmly built upon Christ, because if I can, I won't fall. I know that, not just because it is written in Helaman 5:12, but because I've lived it. 

Love you all so much :). Keeping you in my prayers.
