Week 31- The one with the same view...our window

Dear Friends!!

What a week, glad it's over ;)

We have had some good member lessons and are slowly getting referrals so if anything that is whats keeping me going.

Days and weeks are tough as a missionary. One thing that I have learned is..."so what are you going to do about it?" We as missionaries right now are so fortunate to have weekly missionary devotional from general authorities. This past week Elder and Sister Gong spoke and it was just what I needed to hear to carry me through the week.

They talked alot about using the time you have been given and become someone in the place you are put in....bloom where you are planted.

Sister Gong shared a wonderful quote by a WW2 Vet. It reads "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. Everything can be taken from a man but one thing, the last of human freedoms. To choose ones attitude in any given circumstance." -Victor Franco

Something that I have been trying to do every day is to recommit my self and move forward.

That's honestly all can do. We can wake up each morning saying I am going to show up today and work. We aren't perfect and sometimes we will stumble more than we thought we would have hoped. Christ's grace makes it so we can get up, learn and move forward learning from those experiences. I am very grateful for Him each day I am here trying to learn and "become".

J and E are doing great! We will be having scripture study with J during the day to help her understand it better. We are excited and happy that she is so willing to learn even with the crazy thats happening in the world and in her life.

Baptism is more of a possiblity since we can do baptisms now and not have to wait until this virus is gone.....so that's exciting!

I am excited for what God has in store for me and His children who are being prepared to hear the message.

Friends and family if you have anyone you think could benefit from a message of hope and peace send them our way! We have gotten permission to video call people from home who aren't of our faith or less active and need a message. Please think and pray to know who you could reach out too!

I love the Book of Mormon, it's been a source of comfort during this time. As well as my patriarchal blessing! They are love letters from our Heavenly parents and the love has given me strength! I have a firm testimony of the Book of Mormon and I know it can change lives and make life easier to endure because it helps us know what we need to do to get back to our Heavenly home...doesn't that sound nice? Yes it does, so please read both daily!

I love you all so so much!

Have a wonderful week, love you!

Love,

Sister Fillmore
