Training....again 5-26-2025

Wow what an absolutely crazy week. This week was so spirit filled and so hard it's crazy... Tuesday was powerful we had district council and we recapped the past 6 weeks of the transfer and usually for each week I give a training on a given subject. This particular time I didn't have a theme or a subject so I wrote the past 5 weeks on the board minus this last week and left it blank waiting on the lord...As we were counseling as a district I don't even remember what we were talking about, but it hit me like a brick....The answer and subject was unity...The spirit of the Lord prevailed. That day transfer boards and that evening I looked at the transfer focus and the focus for the transfer was unity. God speaks and his ways are high holy and magnificent. In the spirit of revelation I was called to be a trainer,again. I have had a lot of spiritual manifestations leading up to the transfer that this one was going to be very hard but impactful, something I needed. Leading up to meeting who I am training, we had a meeting for all the new trainers in the mission with our mission President's. There were but few people training only about 9 missionaries were coming in. This group that came in had a spirit of sacrifice and hardship walking of that plane into the field. 3 of them recent converts one of which has no support from family back at home, another from Fiji, another from a country in south America and can barely speak English, another Who graduated early and left sponsorships and skateboarding which was his life and career...He is whom I am training. His name is Elder Hale from southern California he super great and actually a visa waiter waiting to go to Greece where he was originally called to serve. He will only be here for a transfer but we both know it's heaven sent. I won't lie this week has not been easy by any means. I have also been called to serve district leading the biggest district in the mission with 3 missionaries going home this transfer. It's a lot but thy will be done I am excited for where this transfer takes me. Following transfer day we had a meeting for all the leaders in the mission, it is always the one I look forward to most and they are powerful. The theme has been D&C 121 for a while and this particular time President dropped some mind blowing knowledge and Revelation that took me and many others aback. I'm not sure I can break it down here, but just know the sprit of revelation is very real... Words can't adequately express how difficult these past few days have been so it suffices me to describe it in the Hymn of a song that keeps popping up 1. More holiness give me, More strivings within, More patience in suff’ring, More sorrow for sin, More faith in my Savior, More sense of his care, More joy in his service, More purpose in prayer. 2. More gratitude give me, More trust in the Lord, More pride in his glory, More hope in his word, More tears for his sorrows, More pain at his grief, More meekness in trial, More praise for relief. 3. More purity give me, More strength to o’ercome, More freedom from earth-stains, More longing for home. More fit for the kingdom, More used would I be, More blessed and holy— More, Savior, like thee. I have all of my weaknesses and imperfections cracked open for the world to see and it can be painful, but it is a blessing. I have sought guidance through prayer and the answer I have received from God is Focus on my strengths and Let Him prevail let Him take over... This something we can all do..I don't know about all of you but I just love my savior so much I want to do all I can for him and work hard and serve and build others up serve him to the end..I wanna give him as many loaves and fishes I can but I only have but a few to give.. This Quote from Neil A. Maxwell stuck out to me and I quote... "In conclusion, the submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar. The many other things we “give,” brothers and sisters, are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us. However, when you and I finally submit ourselves, by letting our individual wills be swallowed up in God’s will, then we are really giving something to Him! It is the only possession which is truly ours to give!" Clearly God is in the details of our lives and will bless those that seek to improve and is always willing to provide direction and and answer to humble prayers. A miracle that took place in one of friends lives is after 5 years of being sick and homebound since she has started meeting with us and got a priesthood blessing she has been doing much better. She came to church for the first time in 5 years and loved it! God is in the very detail of our lives and through his Grace and atonement we can become much more and be healed and made whole of any earthy sorrow. I have a testimony and that testimony cannot be removed from me. Since this past week it has only grown stronger. My will is being molded to God's will and as I have focused on my strengths I have grown stronger and seen the hand of God in my life building me up! I love all of you so much Stay Sweet-Elder Williams D&C 121 46 The Holy Ghost shall be thy constant companion, and thy scepter an unchanging scepter of righteousness and truth; and thy dominion shall be an everlasting dominion, and without compulsory means it shall flow unto thee forever and ever
