The Dodsons were baptized this past week!!!! I'm so grateful that i was able to be a part of this longtime coming process of them becoming official members of the church!!! It only took 20 years, just goes to show that it is NEVER too late ;) but I would like to add that you shouldn't ever procrastinate the day of your repentance!! (Alma 13:27)
I also got a new companion this week, Sister Tshimanga! She's from Congo! She's super nice and I already love her so much! :)
This week I've had a lot of my prayers answered. In ways that I didn't think were possible for me to receive answers.
I really enjoyed this talk that was given this past conference by Elder Brook P. Hales, in it he says,
"Heavenly Father has perfect love for His children. Because of that perfect love, He blesses us not only according to our desires and needs but also according to His infinite wisdom.
We seek the Father’s divine guidance and help through heartfelt, earnest prayer. When we honor our covenants and strive to be more like our Savior, we are entitled to a constant stream of divine guidance through the influence and inspiration of the Holy Ghost.
'your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him, and He knoweth all things, for all things are present before [His] eyes.' "
I know that we can receive answers to all of our questions that we ask our Father in Heaven. Follow the promptings you receive, and if you feel unsure of your questions or your answers, then ask Him again. Ask for conformation, I promise He will give it to you!! He loves you, He knows you, and He knows what is best for you at this time in your life.
I know this because that is exactly what I have felt this week, as I have received answers to my questions. I know without a doubt that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love each and every one of us so much. They are SO aware, of every aspect of our lives. They provide us with infinite wisdom, and guidance.
I hope you all know how much you are loved!!
I'm grateful for all of you and your support of me as a missionary. I hope you have a great week!!!
Love, Sister Thorpe
