Oh the blessings that have come this week! Last Thursday I had my first interviews with President Riggs, my mission president. He is the greatest I love him a lot! We talked about fortifying ourselves and how important that was to do. I have been searching for ways that I could fortify myself and I have ben having such a challenging time doing so. I felt I could not find much revelation to open up my life to prepare myself for the battle against satan.
I was having the hardest time when I found an article in the August 2013 Ensign called Opening Our Hearts to Revelation. I studied this article and found a change in myself, the feelings I felt were more just about how God loves me, but my understanding was more.
I have been reading the New Testament and found how Christ talks about giving mercy. I never thought of myself needing to give mercy, but after reading that talk I noticed how much mercy God gives us. The "because I have been given much I too must give" have a entire new meaning to me. I just want to become perfected like the savior. What a wonderful day it will be when we are all in the celestial kingdom together.
This week I changed my pday to thursday so that we could attend the temple. The feelings I get and the perspective I gain will never be available anywhere else. God is so merciful, and he offers us so much. I LOVE my Heavenly Father!
Eu te amo,
Elder Cooper
