Hello family! Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope everyone enjoyed the
holiday. As missionaries we don't proselyte on Thanksgiving so the whole
zone got together and played ultimate frisbee! SWEET! I had so much
fun, but I was so sore afterwards. I haven't done much running in a
while since my companion's foot is still healing. Since technically we
aren't supposed to keep score we ended the game at a tie. It was Senior
companions vs junior companions :)
With the new transfer we now have a total of 8 sister missionaries in
our zone. And there were 6 of us at our Thanksgiving dinner. We ate with
the some great families! I wasn't able to eat very
much due to some stomach problems I've been having, but everyone else
ate plenty :)
This week we did a lot of contacting less actives again, it breaks my
heart every time we talk to another person who had the gospel and has
turned away from it. They had the truth, but let other things get in the
way of continuing on the straight and narrow path that leads to eternal
life! "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" -
Matt 6:21
I read this scripture this week and it reminded me that if God is our
treasure, if Christ and His atonement are our treasure, then it doesn't
matter if others offend us, if we don't get along with everyone who is
at church. We will still feel the love that they have for us and for
those around us and we will feel the need to be at church every Sunday,
to partake of the sacrament to renew the covenants we have made. I hope
that everyone who reads this will re-evaluate what it is YOUR treasure
above all else. Putting our faith in Christ will set our hearts to where
they should be and bring us the Joy and happiness in life that we all
want.
I am so Thankful for the gospel in my life, that I have the knowledge
that if I have faith in Christ and repent, and if my heart is turned to
Him, I can and will always be happy. I know that is the same for each of
us.
I love you all so much! Thank you for being the support that you are to me!
LOVE,
Sister Goodwin
