Found: Lost Cat

Beautiful Poway!
This past week is kind of a blur. We had to do a lot of stuff to prepare for the 40 Day Fast so that took up quite a bit of time between studies, meetings, and teaching lessons. Sister Sorensen and I got to teach the Young Men& Women and also Primary this past Sunday to kick off the 40 Day Fast and that was way fun! I actually don't remember much of what I said during my lesson but that's when I know that the Spirit was doing all the teaching.

The "Relief Society" District
As we were preparing for the lesson we didn't really know how to best teach the kids, so we met up with a recent convert who is an art teacher and she just came up with the best analogies ever! In Preach My Gospel on pages 1-2 it talks about how we are surrounded by people. That so many people are searching for something in this life but they don't know where to find it. Sometimes they don't even know they are searching for something. So she compared that to someone who has lost their cat. They are looking and looking everywhere for their cat but they just can't find it! And sometimes they are searching so long for their cat that they eventually give up and begin to forget about it. But luckily, there are people who put up "FOUND" posters and then people no longer have to search for their cat! That's exactly what it should be with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. People are searching for it but don't know where to find it. Luckily, there are faithful members who are willing to talk to their friends and neighbors and share the good news of the "Found Cat" to end their searching. In 1 Peter 3:14-15 it talks about how we should always be ready with an answer of hope. When I read that it reminded me of the fire and how blessed my family was to have an eternal perspective that allowed us to have the answer of hope and comfort. But more importantly we need to share that answer of hope to those we know when they ask "How can you be so peaceful during a trial like this?!" The answer is always going to be our faith in Jesus Christ. So when someone asks you about your faith, just invite them to "come and see" and let them to feel of the peace and comfort for themselves.

Happy, Happy, Happy!
Sorry I don't have much time today, but I hope you all know that I do have faith in my Savior, Jesus Christ. And that faith is what continues to push me forward every single day during this journey. Without that support and guidance, there is no possible way that I could be doing this! I love you all and I pray that each of you may continue to find that pure happiness in the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, or that you may come to find it soon.

Love you all!!! xoxoxo
