The glories of technology and vehicles! We can travel
from one house to another without having to take up time for traveling
and walking, and we are visiting so many more houses now, it's great!
Something
that I think is cool that has really let me see the Lord's hand in our
weeks of walking in the cold, wet snow, however, is that our progress
records (which we use to keep track of the people we see and visit
with/teach every week) were never any less full when we didn't have a
car than they are now.
The Lord knew that without a car, the
people we made time to walk to- to go and see- would have to be there at
the time we went to see them because our time and travel situations
were a lot more limited. So, He made it happen. Same with when the
temple open house was going on last transfer: We had so much less time
to work in our area (with the open house taking up a good half of our
week, every week for at least a month), but our progress records were
always full. The Lord helps us to accomplish the things He's asked us to
do, and He delivers every time. Just trust Him :)
I
love to read about the miracles my sister (Sister A. Wilcox)
experiences constantly in her mission in NY, NY, as well as the other
missionaries in areas all over who try their best and the Lord does the
rest. This is His work, and He is at the head guiding it all the way,
and seeing glimpses of that eternal truth is a miracle in and of itself.
In
our car (pictured below) we've been listening to the bibliography of
President Hinckley, and it's cool to see how humble and willing he was
to be made an instrument in the Lord's hands throughout his life, and to
see how the Lord shaped and refined him to be the man, leader, and
prophet that He knew that he could be. As he did what the Lord asked,
one prompting or good thought at a time, he became the Lord's
instrument. Watching Pres. Monson's funeral last week helped me to see
that again, as he too was made an instrument in the blessing of so many
other's lives, simply because he was willing to always do what the Lord
asked.
He never put a problem to be solved
above a person to be loved.I.t's my hope that I can one day learn to
never put off a prompting and be able to bless others and be the answers
to others prayers as I listen to the Spirit and do my best to follow
the promptings of the Lord in this work and throughout my life. Feel
free to join me in this goal 🤗
Love you all,
Sister WilcoxOur car and some interesting discoveries when we drive to visit people.
Me studying and the sisters in my district.
