Week 47 - June 24th, 2019 (Dingras, Philippines)

Hi everyone, sorry this is a short one today, but I wanted to wish you all a good week. We had a good week here, and met some new people, and learned about faith and trials. I guess I'm just thinking about all of this as the days go by, faster and faster each week, and how much this experience is one of the greatest gifts God has and is giving me. And it truly is a gift, because it seems that all that I have experienced, I have been given infinitely more than I feel I have given. I don't know why, but somehow I know above all else that that is true. And if any on the path wondering about going out, leaving a home behind, and serving on a mission- I just have to say to you- do it. Don't overthink, just be worthy and let God take you on a journey that you really will come to realize you have no control over, but that's okay because the One who has the reins is to be trusted through it all. You will find your life in losing it. I feel I am barely scratching the surface in understanding that saying of Christ's, but there is something in changing everything for a cause that you believe is true, not because you can see it but because you can feel it, because you know it is. And I am here to witness that there is no truer work than that of building up the kingdom of God in preparation for Him to receive it. So for those of you who feel lost, come and be found in this flock, this place where everyone belongs- if we are willing to trust and rely and give it all away for this goodness. I love you all, see you soon, and have a wonderful week.

Love,
Elder Griffitts
