Gracee's Mission Adventures: Office shenanigans

Hola amigos! Cómo están? Another week gone and I officially have less than 100 days left! Kinda crazy I know! But this week was full of shenanigans for real.

The boat

So, the office elders and us are in what you would call prank wars and it's been literally so funny. They always be parking right in front of us, so we have to back and it's the worst, but we've got them good. So, when we moved into our apartment it was the old office elder's apartment and it has this little wood boat that all the office elders sign and it's been around for a long long time like since 2012 and the current office elders don't know we have it but have been asking and asking about it because they want to sign it. Jokes on them cuz we are the first sisters to ever sign it and they have no clue we have it. Don't worry, they'll get it back at the end of the transfer. Sisters 1 Office elders 0

Tender mercy

So, we have been working with inactives in the ward and went by an inactive member who has never come to church since she moved her a few years ago. The elders have stopped by in the past with no luck, but we went by and got to meet Tessa! She's the sweetest mom and was so welcoming straight off the bat. She didn't have a ton of time, so we set up another time to come over and went on with our day. Sunday came around and as sacrament finished, I stood up and turned around and Tessa and her husband and 2 kids were all sitting there a few rows behind me! It was so cool. She hasn't been to church in years, and we didn't even invite her yet, the spirit did the job, and she was there. Such a tender mercy/miracle!

Study thought

Something that has come to my mind a lot this week has been the scripture 3 Nephi 11:14. It reads,

"Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the God of the whole earth, and have been slain for the sins of the world."

This scripture has meant a lot to me recently. If I've learned anything on my mission, the most I've learned is that Jesus Christ is my healer. That's my favorite name for Him. Healer. He has and is healing me in ways nobody else can and I can't help but think of the Nephites who were literally able to come unto Him and feel the prints in his hands and feet and side. They went to be healed by the ultimate healer. I love my healer, I'm grateful that he is able to put together my broken pieces and fill in my cracks and chips. He wants to help us so let him. Let him heal you.

God is very good.

Jesus loves you very much.

Con amor
