HEY EVERYONE! I GET MY NEW COMPANION ON WEDNESDAY.

SISTER WESTRA AND I HAVE BEEN IN DENIAL. :)

Greatest Trainer Ever!!

This week has been crazy! 

I was feeling the weight and responsibility of "taking over" the area in a few days... 

Then... church was the most uplifting experience!

I just prayed with my whole heart during the sacrament:

*The only way I will be able to do this is if I have the spirit directing me and if I do my best and turn the rest over to the Lord.

From that point on... I was full of strength: mentally and physically. 

At peace with a quick mind of clarity and direction! It was incredible.

& so not what I had been previously experiencing. haha

It was in direct correlation with that one prayer.

[In His strength we really can do all things.]

This is truth. It never changes. 

Sometimes we believe it and sometimes we don't- but regardless of what we think:

it's always True.

But to Know for yourself... You have to experience it for yourself.

WHEN trials come... How will we choose to face them?

WHEN things are hard to understand... Where do we turn for the answers?

1 Nephi 15- This is cool.

Laman and Lemuel: "Behold we cannot understand the words which our Father hath spoken concerning the natural branches of the olive tree, and also concerning the Gentiles?"

[pretty valid questions, right? it was super confusing to them!]

Nephi: "Have ye inquired of the Lord?"

[How's that for a Response! BOOM!!]

WHEN trials come... we can face them with Faith!

WHEN things are hard to understand... We should inquire of the Lord first!

It's a lot faster than trying to figure it out on your own. 

It's amazing to know that each of us can have a personal relationship with our Father in Heaven and that He really does hear our prayers... & answers them in the timing that is best for US. (whether we realize it in the moment or not.) 

Steadfast and Immovable in Christ!

Love,

Sister Osmond

ps. There's a super great video on Mormon.org about the

Drummer for Neon Trees! Elaine Bradley.

We've been using it a lot lately.

pps: cue lego movie...

"everything is awesome! everything is cool when you're on the Lord's team!"

There is power in prayer,

I pray for you guys every night! Thank you for praying for me and for these people!
