Season 3: Episode 3 The One with a Broken Bike
Good Morning!
This week someone's bike broke down...but
it wasn't mine! Elder Ellsworth's bike broke down about a mile from our
destination on Wednesday. We ended up having to walk that mile, and then
walk another 2 miles to wait to get picked up by other missionaries. I
was just grateful that I am in Tampa, and that there are missionaries close by!
If we were anywhere else, it would have been a lot longer.
One of the things that this week has
really brought to my attention was the importance of prayer. The importance
of keeping our Father in Heaven in our lives at all times. In the
scriptures we always read about how people would go through a cycle where they
would be righteous, and then receive blessings. Eventually they would
turn prideful, and lose the strength that they had previously because of their
righteousness. In Alma 63 we learn how we can continue to be blessed
without being prideful. We learn that we should 1) remember all of what
God has done for us and 2) pray continually. As I've continued to pray continually,
I've noticed a change of attitude and I am much more receptive to the
promptings of the Spirit.
