Hope of Israel 5-4-2026

Honestly writing this I don't have too much to say except I love all and each of you! This past week has been Miracle filled as well as full off opposition! I don't want to call it your average Missionary week because there is nothing average in terms of God's work and the Miracles He performs daily! I remember as I write now that Tuesday was kind of crazy haha. Sunday- Tuesday we were on foot and let the sisters borrow our car. We had a meeting and their car just got out of the shop and we were gonna be late so we quickly swapped cars and we got out of there quick. 5 minutes later we realize that the sisters have the keys still to our car.(It's a button press to start) So we drive 15 miles in northern Virginia which is like a 30-45 minute drive with traffic. We don't go by distance we go by time here in NOVA. So yeah that was fun we drove 40 plus minutes with no Keyes and we survived! Wednesday we did service for a less active lady who hasn't been to church in 15 years and the ward along with us helped her move and we met her Grandson who is sooo elect and wants to get baptized! He is a 16 year old boxer. We had a family of 5 coming to church but they ghosted us... again. So sad. We hit all of our weekly goals and are seeing awesome miracles and experiencing joy in the work! One of my good friends we are teaching named Andrew is so chill we are so so bold with him and he is praying about baptism on May 24th. Pray for him because we keep having awesome lessons and his heart is softening and his soul is expanding. Recently I have had some things on my mind that requires submission of my will to God's and courage and Recently there has been an instrument piano version of Hope Of Israel that just starts playing in my head and each time it does I am strengthened and gain courage by knowing that I, along with all of you, are the Hope of Israel. Never forget that. My companion and I are doing great he reminds me of my Lil brother except just from Panama which is a crazy huge difference haha! Here is some scripture action though. D&C 121 45 Let thy bowels also be full of charity towards all men, and to the household of faith, and let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly; then shall thy confidence wax strong in the presence of God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distil upon thy soul as the dews from heaven. 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. One of my favorite scriptures of all time. I have seen these eternal truths applied in my life little by little and I feel heavens Hand more in my life and my soul is filled with Joy. The power of True Pure Christ like Love is the very essence of a life filled with Pure Joy, and pure purpose. For the fruits of the spirit are first Love, Joy, Peace and so on! The great commandment is to love God and love Our neighbor but the first Eternal truth is That God first Loves Us. The Eternal Priesthood derives from an Eternal Loving Heavenly Father and the basis from which the Priesthood shows forth it's works is in and through Love! Without being said I love you all! Go show someone Heavens Love Stay Sweet-Elder Williams
