Well a few Sundays
ago I had the great opportunity to give a talk in church. It was a pretty
good talk if I do say so myself. Just Kidding. If any of my talk
touched anyone it was the Spirit that touched them and it was such an amazing
blessing to study and pray for guidance to help and uplift others. The
theme for my talk is the title listed above and it really got me thinking about
blessings I receive in my life.
For example
I absolutely love ICECREAM. I know this might be news to some of you
because I became addicted to it in college. But I love it so much that I
have 2 ice cream stickers on the back of my badge. So Heavenly Father
knows that Sister Walton and I love ice cream and last week Sister Walton was
having a super rough day. We were contacting and a random man we
contacted gave us Klondike bars. He was so amazing. He is from Pakistan
and lives in Rhode Island. He was so interested in learning why we would dedicate
our time to go out and teach the gospel and pay for it. He is interested
in reading the Book of Mormon. Then it got even better because our rare
meal appointment fed us ice cream sundaes. The member also commented on
Sister Walton's talk and the part that she shared a personal experience about
feeling alone. The member started crying because her daughter is going
through the exact same thing right now and it gives her hope that she can get
through it. The ice cream life did not stop because later in the week a
less active bought us ice cream twice......Double Stuffed Brownie.
Though thinking back on it I probably should have picked something else
for Heavenly Father to show me his love. Well as the elders say (as they
pat their stomachs) my testimony is growing (just kidding it is not actually
that bad)
The sad
news of the week: President Jeppson is leaving this week. The
mission is going to miss him so much. I try not a think about it.
He has been a source of such inspiration and love. With his help I
have come through the most difficult struggles I have faced out here. He
has been through so much and truly knows how to comfort those who stand in need
of comfort.
I love you
all!
Remember to
read your scriptures because as you do everything else will get done. Put
God first and he will take care of the rest.
Sister Rogers
