It is a glorious day, life is looking up and the future
is looking bright... hallelujah.
Haha it is getting hotter and hotter here in the
beautiful state of Texas and I am sweating rather badly, haha jk, well kinda.
Happy Easter. I decorated my apartment this week and it
was fun and full of laughs as we went out with the priests in the ward, kids my
same age but still at home, it was kinda cool. I felt young again and we had
some marvelous work on the Christ’s day!!.
So this week was full of everything you could imagine and
I wouldn't have it any other way. I have learned a lot about myself this week
and a lot about what the Lord wants for me and my family! In my life I have
always felt like I had the answers, like when I get in trouble and they are
getting mad at me, I was always like “I know, I know, I know”. Or when someone
was trying to tell me something important, I would always think that I knew
best. I come here today to tell you I know nothing. I am so small. And I don't
know. But the Lord knows and I know that I cannot be a missionary without His
help, I need Him every day.
Another thing that happened this week that really changed
my life forever…
We were street contacting people on the side of the road
and no one really wanted to talk, but we were still trying. We just got done
talking to some thugs and we were walking away when one of them yelled,
"Joseph Smith is a liar." Every time before this moment, I had just
kept walking and shrug it off and not do anything..... Then the thought came
into my head “defend the faith" "defend what you believe in, he would
fight for you!” So I stopped, turned around, not knowing what I was going to
say. I ran up to them and I bore my testimony on how I....know... that Joseph
Smith is a prophet. I was so filled with the spirit that tears started rolling
down my eyes and I was so overcome with my love for this work I could not hold
back anymore. I was not fighting with them, I was just letting them know that I
know this church is true and no man can stop this work.
I am so blessed for what we learned in conference. I know
now what I must do to defend what I believe in and defend the Church of Jesus
Christ of latter-day-saints. I hope all of you will stand up and do the same.
Love Keegan
