Sister Christina Thacker: Week 72 "Busy, Busy Busy!"

This week has been packed! We are teaching so many people from Facebook and our own areabook. We have 6 lessons every night from 6-9! Its amazing!

Garth and Stephanie are doing well! Still working towards baptism, and please continue praying for them! We saw them at the store today too!

Peter is doing great as well! He is still working towards baptism too! He came to church yesterday and he is beginning to live the Word of Wisdom! We are also giving up habits to help him... so pray for him and us as we all overcome our habits. I am trying not to pop my knuckles...

Kelly is doing amazing! Still working towards baptism. She is also striving to live the Word of Wisdom. She has such a strong testimony! Keep her in your prayers

Catherine is amazing as well! She loves reading conference talks and is so excited for General Conference right before her baptism! We hope that will help her testimony of Priesthood Power.

Tracy has been going through a rough patch, so keep her in your prayers!

The work is progressing so much here in Bennington! Hopefully I don't get transferred this week, but we will see. Anything goes this transfer because it's my last transfer and I have been here for 3 transfers.🤷‍♀️ that's right folks, I have 6 weeks left

That's about if for this week, but the Lord is hastening His work!

There is a beautiful verse from the Book of Mormon that I wanted to share. Jesus Christ was talking to the people in ancient America and He was going to leave them, but then He says this in 3 Nephi 17:6-8,

"6 (...) Behold, my bowels are filled with compassion towards you.

7 Have ye any that are sick among you? Bring them hither. Have ye any that are lame, or blind, or halt, or maimed, or leprous, or that are withered, or that are deaf, or that are afflicted in any manner? Bring them hither and I will heal them, for I have compassion upon you; my bowels are filled with mercy.

8 For I perceive that ye desire that I should show unto you what I have done unto your brethren at Jerusalem, for I see that your faith is sufficient that I should heal you."

Jesus Christ can heal you, but you need to show your faith in Him! Sometimes He doesn't take away the trial, but He can lift and strengthen you in your trials.

I love you all!

Have an amazing week!
