The big 18 month mark 1-12-2025

What up what up what up! Boy howdy I do love each and every single one of yall. After writing so many emails it can be difficult coming up with cold openings these days, but the main point I always want to get across is that I love you, God loves you, and we are grateful for you. I'm doing pretty solid I had a fantastic personal spiritual week I won't share to much about, but just know that I know without a doubt our Savior Jesus Christ lives and walks with each of us and our Father in Heaven is ever mindful of us and has perfect and incomprehensible love for each of us. Tuesday was pretty solid and mega busy we bounced from district council to the office, then a lesson, to dinner, and then to an hour and a half long MLC call. I find myself busy most days. Wednesday we moved a set of Elders and picked up 5 new bikes out in the furthest part of our mission and covered bedding for 2 ets that happened. Let's just say we were slammed and had not much time to prosselite. It made me sad but we pressed on and got a lot done. Thursday was a blessing. We had to redistribute those 5 brand new bikes and as we focused on our missionary purpose while delivering bikes we were blessed. We found a dude at chikfila as we stopped for lunch that was cool. We later found a family in out area to teach which is huge! Nothing but miracles from above! We got a little slammed but we managed it. Friday we were so busy. A member 45 minute out donated 2 bikes and some tools and a bike stand for working on bikes and I was so happy about that! We had a crazy day but still ended up having a lesson and finding a friend somehow! God is merciful! We ended up having so little time we dropped off 5 bikes at the mission office because we hade no room in storage we had to many bikes and it was farther away. Saturday it rained hard all day. We had to get the bikes out of the office into storage so we went to the storage unit and I sifted through and fixed some bikes in the downpour of rain. It was a miracle I didnt get sick and we had enough room to put those 5 bikes in storage. Sunday was beautiful. We had a Turkish friend come and a part member guy we love and I just love being able to partake of the Sacrament. It is a joyful ordinance. The young men forget to pass the bread to where I was sitting and I had to hunt them down it was funny haha. I will never miss a week of church solely because of the Sacrament. It's too special to me. A time to reflect yes, but also a time to renew, restore, and access divine healing grace and forgiveness as well. During this hectic week we still hit most all of our goals and that is nothing short of a miracle. His Grace is sufficient for all of our needs in life and even in our daily task. There is always divine help and direction in our lives. This last week my confidence has been through the roof. It's no surprise to me why that is. This past week I have more fully accepted truth in wisdom. Wisdom is the application of knowledge. This past week I pondered reflected and looked for God's hand in the very detail of my life the past however long I could remember. The knowledge that I am a Son of God has always been there and sometimes more times than others I have accepted that truth for what it is. Truth is eternal and full of light. The more truth we accept the more light that will fill our souls. You may wonder what I mean by accept. Well.... what I mean is to recognize, and to apply, to accept it into our hearts and into our lives. This past week I have really accepted deeper into my heart that I am a beloved Son of God and it has been instrumental in helping me in every aspect of my life. I am more secure, more in tune with the spirit, more confident in who I amd and in the fact Heavenly Father hears and answers every prayer. President Nelson once said and I paraphrase.... He said if Heavenly Father was here the first thing he would want you to know is that you are his Son, that you are his Daughter, and that you are loved. Learn to accept this truth in your heart. I have come to love this council King David gave to his son Solomon before passing. A little context before I do, Solomon was known throughout all the land as one being filled wisdom... 1st Kings 4 29 ¶ And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore. 30 And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. With his heart that understood, and with the wisdom he had, he knew that he was a Child of God. He knew a lot of things. He was a great leader! The one council his father felt the need to give to him was this... 1st Kings 6 Do therefore according to thy wisdom We all know king David fell from grace and committed greives sins. He knew what was right and what was wrong. King David was filled with wisdom and had a understanding h eart. He too was a great leader. Yet.... he didn't do therefore according to the wisdom he was blessed with. We later find our neither did Solomon. He too fell away. My plea to you is one from David... "Do therefore according to thy wisdom" You are blessed with the knowledge of your Divinity as a Child of God! Now, accept that truth in wisdom and apply it in your life! Live like one, act like one, and be one. See the miracles that await you and those you love. All things denote you are Divine...accept it! I love yall so much! I hit 18 months this last week times flying by. Life is good the mission is good. Let me know how ya are doing! Shoot me an email feel free to reach out Stay Sweet-Elder Williams
