"IT WILL ALL WORK OUT"

Sometimes in our zeal as missionaries, we look at people in various situations and we just want to "fix it".  From time to time we are given the opportunity, as Senior Missionaries, to go out and teach with the young missionaries.  As we meet with these wonderful children of God, we immediately want to give them a better life in every respect, including the gospel of Jesus Christ, a comfortable home to live in, shoes on their feet and food to eat.
As we teach them to pray in faith to a loving Heavenly Father, who knows them and their circumstances, we see miracles happen in their lives.  Here a little and there a little, they experience the blessings of which they are in need.  Some of those blessings are immediate and some come over a period of time.
This quote by President Gordon B. Hinckley has a prominent place in our office.  He said, "It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is.  It all works out.  Don't worry.  I say that to myself every morning.  It will all work out.  If you do your best, it will all work out.  Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future."

(Carlin and Kietana)

The Savior will help us see and understand the vision He has for us.  He loves us and knows us personally.  He has promised that if we live worthily, His spirit will always be with us.  

(Shona and Sister Smith)

More often than not, we see the bright light of Christ in the eyes of these beautiful people.  There is hope....there is always hope.  The Holy Ghost will help us remain steadfast, and our testimony of the Savior will help us proceed with a perfect brightness of hope.

(Curlin and Kediesha)

As we put our trust in God and press forward with faith in Him, the Savior will help us see and understand the vision He has for each and every one of us.  Knowing that vision will help us press forward in our lives.  "It will all work out."

AND HERE'S MORE OF OUR GLORIOUS WEEK

Missionaries wear out multiple pairs of shoes from walking mile after mile in all sorts of weather conditions.  It was time for the Sisters to go shoe shopping on P-day.

Sister Grigg had to make a trip to Barbados this week for "Sister Leader Training", so Linkcia agreed to be a Temporary Missionary with Sister Smith for a few days.  Linkcia has decided that she would like to complete the paperwork to become a full-time missionary

 Over a year ago we began working with our church on a humanitarian project to obtain much needed hospital beds and nightstands for the public hospital in Grenada.  After a lot of red tape and jumping through many hoops, the beds arrived this week down at the docks!  Yeah!!!!!
