Small Girl In A Big City: "I am the light which ye shall hold up"

I hope you have all had a successful week lighting the world! Keep holding up that light:)

"Therefore, hold up your light that it may shine unto the world. Behold I am the light which ye shall hold up--that which ye have seen me do. Behold ye see that I have prayed unto the Father, and ye all have witnessed." 3 Nephi 18:24

Here are a few

bright moments in our week:)

We have an investigator who has been struggling with a lot lately, so we haven't been able to meet with her for a few weeks. But we were able to meet with her yesterday! We really felt that we needed to share the message of the Restoration with her again, so we went in there and didn't waste a second! The Spirit flooded the room as we started teaching. The words flowed and I was amazed by how each principle that we taught was able to apply so specifically and personally to her. Heavenly Father is so aware of us, He knows what is going to help us in our times of need, and He sends those to us that can help us through it:) I know that I have been sent to help people, but even more so I know that I have been sent here so that they can help me. That lesson yesterday helped me a lot- and I know she was able to feel it too. "Wherefore, he that preacheth and he that receiveth, understand one another, and both are edified and rejoice together." D&C 50:22

We also had a relief society activity yesterday! And we had a really fun activity, we each had a paper with #LIGHTtheWORLD on it and we got to write one way that we are going to serve, and then we all took a picture holding our signs. I just thought it was so cool to be able to read some of the ideas that people came up with- writing a letter to someone, greeting everyone with a hug, praying for someone in need- simple things that make a big difference:) I've just been thinking about all the little things like that that people have done for me that have helped me so much when I needed it! Thanks to all you who have done that for me, keep it up!

On Sunday we went to go deliver cookies to people! The best part was to see how their faces lit up when we gave them the cookies, you could just see how much they appreciated it. Seriously, I am stepping up on my soap box really bad right now! But service is something that is SO easy, and you can make someone's day just by bringing them cookies! I call that a miracle if I ever saw one haha!

I have loved, loved, loved this initiative and stretching to think of more ways that we can help people throughout this month. Heavenly Father always blesses us with more ideas in our minds as we act on them!

Have a wonderful week, and enjoy making this the BRIGHTEST Christmas season ever!:)
