My big news
of the week is Facebook! The Thailand
Bangkok Mission is now using Facebook as a proselyting tool. My companion and I created our account on
Saturday...It was so weird (first time in 9 months) that I typed in
facebook.com. LOL But it’s going to be very helpful in keeping
in contact with our recent converts and members as we go about doing the Lords
work.
One thing
I've been studying and thinking about lately is the role of Charity in the
Lord's work…in our lives and our progression.
We learn in the scriptures that with if we have no charity, all of our
works will be for nothing. Christ is the
best example of charity we have, and I believe that this is one attribute that
all can improve on. True Charity is not
judging, and always encouraging. It's
loving not hating, it’s forgiving; always. And it also includes being a good example for
others.
From the Savior’s
example we can improve the charity in our hearts. So that all may recognize us as Disciples of
Christ and draw from our examples. We
can be a light unto the world. Charity
is a gift from God (pmg) and we should with all our hearts to have it.
One thing
I've also come to gain a testimony of is that charity, like faith, leads to
action (pmg). If we truly have charity
it will manifest in the things we do, how we serve and treat others, and in our
willingness to follow the teachings and promptings of the spirit. The more I learn about charity the more I
realize I need to work on it. But I've
also know that this life is the time to improve daily. Which is an opportunity
I am eternally grateful for.
Love, Sister
