So this week has been a fun-filled one. We saw some of our investigators (Missy and Emily) yesterday at a birthday party and talked with them for a while. Something that stood at to me about being on a mission, after taking a step back, is that it isn't about the numbers. You aren't going to remember the numbers that you report but rather the people and the time that you spent with them. Heavenly Father puts you in a certain place at a certain time because He knows that you need to learn something from that experience. I have learned so much from being out here in Kentucky. It is nothing like back home, that is for sure :) The scenery is different, the accents, the culture... I could go on. I never thought I would end up in the Bible belt but here I am.
So something that stood out to me this week is Christ-like attributes. I have come to learn that you must never take anything personally. What others say is a reflection of themselves and not you. There is truth and then there is a reflection of the truth. Everyone has their own perception of things in each situation. It's like we are sitting in a movie theater and all of us are watching the same movie yet all of us have our own opinions and ideas. My point with this is that there are times when you are going to be put to the test and you are going to struggle. What I love though about this is that when you begin to see someone for what they can become rather than who they are, you will be able to feel a greater love for that individual and those around you. You won't take what they say personally anymore and you begin to change. You can apply this to any circumstance in life. Along with this, be kind. You never know what someone else is going through.
I am so grateful for this Gospel. I love it. There is nothing that brings me greater joy than sharing with someone my love for our Savior, Jesus Christ.
I am sending you all some pictures this week. You gotta love Kentucky :)
Love,
Sister Habibpour
