I Am A Woman Mighty In The Faith Of The Lord

I am super short on time this week, but what a crazy week it's been!  We started our car share and are SOOO thankful for the members who have already helped us out to drive us home from church, go visiting with us, feed us, take us to their homes to do laundry, take us grocery shopping, and take us to the library to email.  So far the Elders haven't had an accident, so I'm feeling good. :)

We also had an amazing Zone Conference Training on Friday.  Usually they do that the day after Zone Conference, but because we had a special speaker from the 70 come they did it this last Friday.  It was so good.  The sisters meeting they had was the best part.  First of all, I need to thank my Mother for teaching me piano as long as she did.  I played the piano for the sisters meeting and I loved it so much!  I've been able to play for almost every district meeting we've had, and I am so thankful that I'm able to do that. I'm not the best, and I've definitely made mistakes, but I love that I know enough to be able to play for meetings like that. I love the piano!

The main thing that I got from the Sisters meeting is that each of us has a specific and unique piece to contribute.  They had each of us write down one thing that makes us a "[women] mighty in the faith of the Lord."  (That comes from a scripture, but I can't remember the reference.)  Then they had our companion(s) write down something about us.  Then they had each Sister stand and say "I am a woman mighty in the faith of the Lord because..." It was so powerful to hear the other sisters and to stand myself and say that.  It was like breaking through a brick wall to say that.  I felt so much more confidence and joy and excitement for the gospel of Jesus Christ!

We each have a unique role in this life - something that no one else can give.  I know that the Lord Jesus Christ knows our potential and that we can achieve it through Him.

I'm sorry that's all the time I have today, but I love you all!  Remember who you are!

May THE force be with you!
