To Those That Listen - January 28, 2019

Hey y'all!

I have to be super quick this week. To be honest, I wasnt going to write a group but I had a quick rebuke of a promise made to a family member that I would write a group every week of my mission. I am on the last 4 emails and I am not about to quit.

This week we had some cool experiences. Funny how God works. While sitting in church yesterday I was sitting in the back seat of Relief Society. I was minding my own business, sitting by those we had brought to church. I took a look around the room and noticed a particular lady. I haven't had too much interaction with her. She has had some health issues which have prevented her from coming to church. As I sat and looked at her I felt an impression to get up from my cozy little seat in the back and walk all the way to the front of the room and sit with her. I hesitated and contemplated the awkwardness I was about to confront. As soon as I mustered up the courage to move, the relief society president calmly stood up and took the seat that I was prompted to sit in. I sat there sheepishly in my seat, which was no longer cozy. I felt a STRONG rebuke. The phrase that came to mind was "If you aren't willing to listen, someone else will.". I sat in the back with tears in my eyes. I proceeded to watch this amazing president counsel this sister. She put her arm around her, whispered some words to her, and smiled. I was amazed at the simple act she had courageously done.

After the meeting I was prompted to speak with the RS president. I told her how much I admired her and how thankful I was she listened to the spirit when I failed to do so. She started crying and we sat there with tears in our eyes as she proceeded to tell me that the sweet sister we both were prompted to sit by had a small seizure in the middle of the meeting.

I thanked her again for following the spirit.

We have the opportunity to be instruments in the hand of the Lord. Do EVERYTHING you can to follow the promptings He is asking you to do . It will all work out. If you wont listen, God will assign different servants who will. He needs to accomplish His purpose.

God is good y'all. Don't forget.

Have a great week. Love y'all!
