Over half way
done with the MTC!!! WHAT?!??? Crazy stuff!! And plus, we are moving to the West
Campus next P-day which will make the last 3 weeks fly by! It will be weird
living in Wyview again, but I am SUPER excited!!! :) [Warning, I might get a new
address? I'll keep you posted!]
Every Tuesday the missionaries have a devotional in the Marriott Center. Besides going to the temple, this is the highlight of my week!! They are always the BEST and we walk out of that place with such confidence and eagerness to serve!
But last Tuesday, I was able to witness something very, very special happen. Richard G. Scott came and spoke with us. This was the BEST devotional I have ever heard in my entire life. I could feel of the love that this Apostle had for me, as well as the love that my Heavenly Father had for me! He taught us about the sacred, power of prayer. "NEVER underestimate the power of prayer!" He explained that answers can come in 3 different forms. And while we are waiting for prayer to be answered, it will increase our Faith which will increase our Character. The most important thing for us to do is act upon the feelings we receiving during and after prayers.
But the time when the entire Marriott Center started crying is when he paused in the middle of his talk and left us with a very special blessing. "With an apostolic authority, I give you a blessing to learn your language through your faith."
I reflected upon that moment many times throughout the week. It was a hard week at times, but I was able to push through it because I remembered the way I felt when Richard G. Scott talked to us.
I having being thinking a lot about the Atonement this week. This is a topic that I could study everyday and always learn something new. I wanted to know, "How can I better use the gift of the Atonement as a missionary?" I still don't have a solid answer for this question yet. But I do know that if I am working effectively everyday, doing my absolute very best, bringing souls unto Jesus Christ, and seeking earnestly to learn and improve, the enabling power of the Atonement help me accomplish things above my own capacity.
In order to accomplish a goal I have never done before, I must do things I have never done before.
And through the Atonement I know this is possible.
I am so blessed to be missionary, and I can't wait to get my feet in Russia! This gospel is the true gospel of Jesus Christ and I want everybody else to know of it also! :)
Lots of Love,
Сестра Миллэр
P.S. Russian is a beautiful language!! (:
