Just like proselytizing missionaries have leaders and district leaders, they created a district and assigned leaders for our south missionaries. I got called as the first sister leader for the south side of the mission. I'm thankful for the opportunity to further God's work in this new way.
During institute we discussed Luke 7:36-50. Jesus went to eat with a pharisee. A woman who was a sinner knew that was going to happen, so she brought an expensive oil and went to Him to clean His feet. She didn't have anything, so she used her hair and tears. The pharisee got confused. Christ explained that the woman had nothing and still came and cleaned his feet with her tears and hair, and the pharisee gave Christ no water. She did what she could. I liked that because Christ doesn't compare what we have to offer, he takes what we have and meets us there.
Scripture:
Alma 36:27 And I have been supported under trials and troubles of every kind, yea, and in all manner of afflictions; yea, God has delivered me from prison, and from bonds, and from death; yea, and I do put my trust in him, and he will still deliver me.
I know He is always there to help us whether it is sickness, losing a loved one or a different struggle. The Lord knows them all.
Happy Memorial Day!
Sister Gill
