I get sick.
For the WHOLE WEEKEND.
It was really rough. Sister Harrison and I were not pleased. One thing we
learned from this little escapade is that sometimes the things you think you
want, aren't what you really want, (like extra study/sleep time), and that this
is not an idle work.
We struggled this weekend. Being locked in a house is not a fun thing,
espeially when you're used to being out and about more often than you are
inside. But luckily we had wonderful Elders who took extremely good care of us,
as well as a few members, and couples. The highlight was when our Zone and
District Leader came and gave us the sacrament because neither of us could
attend either meeting. So. Good.
This week I've finished the Book of Mormon again. This book of such a game
changer, I don't understand how anyone can live without it. (I guess that's why
I'm here, eh?)
So I've been reading in the book of Ether, the story of the brother of
Jared. For those of you who don't know, this story is very near and dear to me,
as it is part of the reason I'm here in Canada. (For more info check out : The
Title. The Mission. The Dream.)
In chapter 6 it talks about how the barges that the Jaredites built were
"many times buried in the depths of the sea.." (vs. 6) but that as they
cried unto the Lord, He did bring them up again. In verse 8 it says "And
it came to pass that the wind did never cease to blow towards the promised
land.."
There are times where we are buried in the sea, when the waves never cease
to crash in around us, and it seems like we will never see the surface again.
But the Lord will always bring us back to the surface, and He never ceases in
driving us onward to our own promised lands.
Even if we can't quite see that far.
On that note, I hope everyone is having a wonderful week and enjoying life wherever you are. XO
With Love from Can-Win
p.s. This weeks people to find are Justin Trapp, and Jessica Casper. If
anyone can get me in touch with them I'd be grateful. :)
