We had one member ask us, "Why isn't this easy?".....
And I had to stop and think about it...
If this is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, if we're following him, if we're doing things right... why isn't it a little bit easier?
We went to a funeral this week of one less active member.. she was in the hospital all this time, really sick and we visted her the week before she died... and she admited to us that she hadn't seen her Visitng Teachers in a long time, and she didnt even know who they were anymore.... They had told her that they wouldnt be able to come for a bit because the partners were changing and they didnt know who would be her visiting teachers next.... We had told her that we were going to go find those sisters and harrass them to visit, and that we were going bug her and return and visit a lot more....She told us not to say anything to the sisters because they probably had their reasons for not coming... and well With my companion really sick this past week, we couldnt visit again, we were in the doctors everyday.... And shortly after she passed away.... Im not going to lie... this haunted me this week...
Why isnt this easy?---
This sister, died in a hospital which is literally the worst hopsital ive ever entered, she passed away without any comfort. She doesnt have family here, and no one from the church was visitng her.... Why are we members if we dont walk the path Christ walked? Its not easy for us because it never was easy for him. We cant expect as we try to follow him that itll be rainbows because to really follow him, we're going to have to experience a little of the pain he felt for us... but walking this path we'll have all the help of heaven... and walking this path, we NEED to help those others that have fallen along the way. That is what Christ did, that is what we need to do. So this week, think about who you can help, think about visitng your people. I dont know everything that happened with the sisters here and why they weren{t visitng... but we dont do visitng teaching to only say that we did.. We visit because we're standing in place of Jesus Christ, trying to help others because we love them. So who cares if they're the person you're assigned to visit or not. After Christ told the Apostles, "Come follow me," He afterwards told them "to feed my sheep". So please this week, help someone that has fallen, theres a ton of people waiting to be lifted up, to feel Gods love once again. Dont wait, dont hesitate... do it now. Don't wait until someone has to pass away to understand the importance..
I love you all!!!! I love this Gospel and I love God... I love the chance to learn and change and try to help people, Im not perfect and many times I say the wrong things, but I know that if I don't try, Im missing my opportunity to be an instrument in Gods hands.
LOVE YOU ALL!!
