We received a surprise
email from Elder Morris. He was able to email us one more time from the MTC as
he was given an extra P-day this week to prepare to leave for Mexico. We were
able to chat while he was doing his laundry.
He told us that he has
been asked to say the opening prayer in the Devotional for the WHOLE MTC on
Sunday (today). He is a little more than nervous. Better than being asked to
talk, always a bright side!
He asked me to share
these photos and this quote-
A quote I really liked when I was watching a Life of Jesus
Christ Bible Video today.
"The Spirit of the Lord is with me because he has
anointed me to teach the gospel to the poor, he has sent me to heal the
brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, to set at liberty them
that are bruised."
This really struck me because that is me. The Lord has
called me to go and lighten others burden, to bring light to those in darkness,
and lift those that are downtrodden. I have realized that I am on the same
mission that Christ was. For the people I am going out to teach, I represent
our Savior. That is a huge responsibility but I know that I am not going at it
alone. I will have the Lord going on before me on my right hand and on my left,
”And whoso received you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face.
I will be on your right hand and on your left hand, and my Spirit shall be in
your hearts, and mine angels round about you to bear you up.” D&C 84:88
I already have a deep love for this work and I am super
excited to get to Mexico and start spreading this glad message.
Elder Morris leaves bright and early, 3:00am on Monday
morning for Monterrey. I can't wait to hear his voice! I should be getting a
letter on Tuesday that he forgot to mail…
