We had another really great week here in Searcy!
So I have always had a love for office supplies but since my mission there is one particular office tool that I have come to love.....white out. One of my companions used to use it all the time and I confess I totally judged her at first for being a perfectionist. But then one day I made a mistake while writing in my study journal and it was really bothering me. So I humbled myself and asked if I could use some. And it changed my life. Now I can't imagine studying without my whiteout. I use it nearly everyday because I tend to make a lot of mistakes (especially spelling mistakes) but it is good to know that I have a way to fix them. Sometimes my mistakes require a lot of whiteout and sometimes just a little itty bitty bit but no matter the mess up, it can always be fixed. I am very grateful for whiteout.
Whiteout is a little like repentance which is something else I have learned to love on my mission. Because of our Savior, we don't have to live with our mistakes. We can change, mistakes can be whited out. Sometimes our mistakes are big, sometimes they are itty bitty, but they can always be fixed. Like it says in Isaiah "though your sins be scarlet, they will be as white as snow" We taught this principle to two men we have been teaching from Kenya named Alex and Edward. They had a lot of question about repentance and forgiveness and the process of it all. It was so amazing to testify to them that we can repent. We can repent every day. And as often as we will repent God promises to forgive us. What a wonderful message and blessing that is. I truly love repentance. I love that we can always change and become better. And I love getting to help people as they go through the repentance process themselves. I love getting to see others change for the better.
We are excited for this upcoming week. We are going on exchanges which is always lots of fun :)
As always thank you for all that y'all do! Have a wonderful week!
Love
