Another week, another email! Sister Golightly and I are doing super great! Today marks the 90th day of missionary quarantine (and yes, I can't believe it either). This past week was a bit of a rough one but there still were plenty of tender mercies each and everyday!
Tender Mercy #1: We were able to have a video call lesson with our friend Pauline! This was awesome because for the past few weeks, all the lessons we've had with her have been strictly over the phone. But this week we were able to get Facebook Messenger working on both sides of the line! It was so great to actually connect a face to the voice and we had a great lesson reading the Book of Mormon together!
Tender Mercy #2: Our mission had what is called a Mission Tour on Wednesday. Elder Whiting from the Seventy spoke to us over Zoom. He invited us to prayerfully come up with some goals we want to personally work on to help us develop Christlike attributes and missionary skills. After praying about it, I felt inspired to read the Book of Mormon all the way through, focusing solely on the attribute of Humility. It has been such an amazing experience so far and I am excited to keep studying!
Tender Mercy #3: The Rancho Cordova zone made some awesome videos this week! I highly recommend that you go find our facebook page and watch them! I am so grateful that I get to work with such awesome missionaries! I love being in this zone and area!
Tender Mercy #4: Sister Golightly and I have had some really amazing lessons with some of the members of our ward this past week! We also have had some really great lessons over video chat with friends all over the world! It has made me realize how grateful I am for the technology that makes it possible to connect with some many wonderful people! It also has made me so grateful for all the love and support we have received! Thank you so much!
Tender Mercy #5: I figured out how to make cheesecake... no explanation needed on why this is a tender mercy.
So yes, even though it was a bit of a harder week, there still has been so many wonderful blessings and tender mercies. I love how the prophet Nephi puts it:
"But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance."
May we spend some time each and every day to notice the hand of the Lord more often in our lives. We truly have so much to be grateful for and the best part is: the more we are grateful for what we have been given, the happier we will be! I love you all so much! Thank you for being a tender mercy in my life!
Lots of Love,
Sister Ferrin
