We had a zone pday today. We went to slains castle again, stopped by the trump golf course up in the area as well. Elder bagshaw is in ireland now, I bet he's enjoying it. It's just me and elder Mørklid now.
We had a special conference with elder Anderson with the entire mission. It was just amazing. We've driven almost 1000 miles this week alone. I've seen a whole lot of Scotland now. The only general area I havent been to is by the border to england and the tip top of Scotland, thurso and wick area. I'll be going there possibly this week.
We have another conference tomorrow. Interviews tonight with president will be great. The work moves forward, life is good.
I'll give you a thought. It's not very well edited, so it's not very eloquent. just take it as it is I guess.
We often say we submit ourselves to the will of the lord. But when we say that, we often are really saying, "you know I'm willing to submit myself to you as long as that means by doing so, I'm going to immediately see miracles." But what happens when the miracles dont come? What if the will of the lord is that you need to be patient for a season? What if what he wants you to do, and what you are supposed to be submitting yourself to, is silence for a time? When we say I'll do whatever you ask, are we willing to sit still and wait?
How long are we willing to do his will? Let's say his will is that you dont get fruit right away. Maybe he needs to test how loyal you truly are. How willing are you to do the work of the lord when you dont see fruit for 2 hours? Or maybe 2 days? Months even? This life is a test of faith. Each child receives a test according to their needs. Are you willing to do all the lord asks even when you dont know why nor how long you may need to sit in silence, trusting in his promise?
