Relying on God

Hi everyone! 

This week I was all over the place and it got pretty hard but I really tried to rely on Heavenly father. All the Sisters and Hermanas got sick so Sister Olson and I were on exchanges pretty much all week. We were together close to 24 hours total. You don't realize how much you love your companion until they are gone and you see them again and you just feel a sigh of relief. 

While on exchanges in our area I had to go drop David. It was the seconds hardest drop of my mission. I was just crying and I'm sure he was wondering what the heck was going on. He told us again that he knows this church is true but he doesn't want to act. We had to tell him we couldn't meet anymore because we didn't have a direction to go in but that we hope to see him at church. As we walked away I just felt a peace come over me and I had a feeling that he will be baptized soon.

To be honest this week has been one of the hardest on my mission but I am so thankful I know this gospel. After a lesson I was driving home with a hermana and we were talking about how perfect this church is. There was a couple times in the last few days were I felt useless but I would read my favorite chapter in the Book of Mormon, Alma 26 and I could feel the Holy Ghost testify of the truth of Ammons words. In verse 12 he says

 "Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever."

My testimony is super simple but I know that God is my loving Heavenly father and that he is with me every step of the way and that he has a perfect plan for me. It brings me so much comfort that I can constantly become better through repentance. I have so much to work on but just like Ammon said, I can do all things through Him. I know this church is true. I know that Jesus Christ is my savior and redeemer and because of Him my family can be together forever. I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God and by reading it we can come closer to Jesus Christ. We have the true church on Earth and we have every reason to rejoice.

I love you all! I hope you have a great week!

Love

Sister Nye
