So this week has been good. Busy again, but good. We had zone conference this week which was great. We talked a lot about simplicity which was something I think I needed as I enter these last 6 months. I just want to take things back to the basics of missionary work. I was studying in 2 Nephi 33:6 where Nephi says: "I glory in plainness; I glory in truth; I glory in my Jesus,for he hath redeemed my soul from hell."
Truth and plainness, that is what I want in missionary work. I want to teach the gospel with simplicity because that is the gospel!
I also had the chance yesterday to speak with my companion and President and Sister Palmer at a Single Adult Fireside. The topic was how can members help missionaries to fulfill their purpose. We talked a lot about the examples we can be as we live the gospel. I talked about how as we let the gospel and the Atonement become a part of who we are and everything we do then sharing the gospel can become a natural part of what we say and do. I have thought a lot about this and how I want to be a different member missionary after my mission than I was before. There are so many more opportunities to do missionary work than I realized. It makes me excited for the rest of my life because even though my "Full-time" missionary service will end, the missionary work I will have to do as a member will be endless.
Sorry this is a short one this week! I hope you will all think about ways that you can simplify the gospel in your own lives and then share that with someone you know!
Have a great week!
Love,
Hermana Carpenter
