Hello everyone
Yesterday in church, we sang the song I am a child of God. I
was really impressed by the idea that each and every person, though singing as
a group, is offering this same plea and cry for help. All of us really are
children of God and need Him. Many people may not know he words, but there are
millions all over the earth with this song in their hearts.
I am
a child of God,
And
he has sent me here,
Has
given me an earthly home
With
parents kind and dear.
Lead
me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help
me find the way.
Teach
me all that I must do
To
live with him someday.
I am
a child of God,
And
so my needs are great;
Help
me to understand his words
Before
it grows too late.
Lead
me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help
me find the way.
Teach
me all that I must do
To
live with him someday.
I am
a child of God.
Rich
blessings are in store;
If I
but learn to do his will
I'll live with him once more.
Lead
me, guide me, walk beside me,
Help
me find the way.
Teach
me all that I must do
To
live with him someday.
We had an amazing experience last night and it is shifting
the way I think about missionary work. Instead of looking for people who are
available for me to teach and who are willing to listen to me, I realize this
work is so much different. There are hundreds of God's children who need His
help. He wants to teach and bless them. I want to make myself available to them
so God can help them through me. We taught a woman last night. You might call
her a golden investigator or say we had an awesome lesson. But I think I would
rather say that she needed her Heavenly Father and He sent us there to help
her. He knew who the right missionaries were and when the right time would be.
I know His hand is guiding us in the work. I know that there is nowhere I would
rather have been in the entire world than that house last night. No family
event, friend, job, school, or calling would have been more important to Heavenly
Father than me being there. I am so grateful to know that and feel that. I want
to approach the rest of my mission this way.
I love you all. Thank you so much for all you do and the
sacrifices you have made to help me be here. Have a wonderful week.

PS. Here are the pictures from Josh's baptism. His daughter
and niece and nephew were there.
