Sister Guertler and I hold up the Shield of Fath and the Sword of Righteousness! |
What I learned from Sister Guertler's attitude was empowering. When we turn our life over to the will of the Lord, accept that He really does know best, then things do get better.
I think of Joseph of Egypt. He was sold into slavery by his brothers, put to work for Potipher, cast into prison due to false accusations and whole lot of other trials, but he never lost his faith. He trusted that as long as he was faithful to the commandments, he would be okay. We all need to develop this attitude. We need to realize that things will be okay as long as we are living the commandments and doing our best. Even when we fall, we have the atonement of Jesus Christ. Through that, all of our weaknesses can get better and we can learn and grow from our mistakes.
By abiding by the Lord's laws, we are blessed immensely. By accepting His will, we see miracles. Sister Guertler showed me that with her faith that her visa would come when the Lord needed her to go, until then, she was an Arizona Mesa Missionary. She and I worked and had success. We never gave up and never slacked because she was "only a visa waiter". This attitude was incredible and admirable. I have been blessed to learn and grow for my experience and wish Sister Guertler all the best as she starts her new adventure in Brazil!
Remember: Heavenly Father has a plan, you just have to be patient, press forward, be patient, and wathc the beauty of life unfold before you!
I love you all!
Love,
Sister Mackenzie Esmond
