Sister G shared a few stories tonight I really
needed to hear. The biggest takeaway I got was "You can't make anyone love
you. But YOU can always choose to love." Oh my gosh, I was literally
bawling. It was embarassing haha. Sister G may be the most amazing person I've
ever met. She's so genuine. I really hope I learn to be more like her on my
mission. We then had a mini testimony meeting with our district, and basically
everyone cried. This was our last class as a district with everyone. The elders
going to North Carolina leave bright and early Monday morning. We were all
emotional wrecks.
Other great advice from Sister G: "Never
forget to ask what to pray for."
Words can't even express how wonderful today
was. I feel so much love in my heart for my district. It's crazy how quickly
you grow attached to people you're forced to spend 24/7 with haha.
We had another temple walk, which was
cool.
Then we had dinner together for the last time
as a district which was pretty sad.
Then we had a closing devotional. It was
honestly amazing! We talked about all the different ways we've grown since
coming into the MTC. We also learned about the importance of opening our
mouths. We're authorized members of the church, and with that comes
power.
Our other Sunday devotional tonight
was also incredible. We talked about the importance of letting the
investigators feel the love we have for them. We need to try to let them feel
of the love our Heavenly Father has for them through us. He said, "What
Would Jesus Do? What Would Jesus Feel?" which was a pretty remarkable
concept. On my mission, I need to make sure my focus is trying to get the
investigators to feel what the Savior would want them to feel in that moment.
If they feel unforgiven, I need to let them feel foriveness. If they feel
unloved, I need to let them experience love. I can't do any of that without the
Spirit.
