Sister Goss---W12: Rearranging and reevaluating

Hello dear friends and family that I love so much!!

This mission experience is so unlike what I anticipated. 🙂 I have ups and downs ALL THE TIME and it's crazy! This week I had some of the lowest points and some of the highest points. I have learned to hold to my Savior during the lowest points, and to rejoice in Him during the highest points. He is everything to me!! I have complete confidence that everything I'm experiencing is for my good and will change me to be the person He needs me to be. 😊 I can't glory in Jesus Christ enough!! Alma 26:12,16. HE IS SO GOOD. GOD IS SO GOOD.

Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever. Therefore, let us glory, yea, we will glory in the Lord; yea, we will rejoice, for our joy is full; yea, we will praise our God forever. Behold, who can glory too much in the Lord? Yea, who can say too much of his great power, and of his mercy, and of his long-suffering towards the children of men? Behold, I say unto you, I cannot say the smallest part which I feel.

God placed several people in our path to be taught this week. We found 4 new people!! Some others we found a few weeks ago turned us away, which is sad. But we're not discouraged because Christ is by with us every step of the way. 😊 The work is progressing! The truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independently!! 

Sister Preator, Hermana Weston, and Hermana Thompson were talking in their beds last night while I was praying in the other room. The lights were out because we were going to bed. I heard one of them ask, "where did Sister Goss go?" So I took this choice opportunity, ran out of the room, and screamed. They screamed so bad and then couldn't stop laughing... Hahaha!👌 I forgot how much fun it is to scare friends. 😉 My roommates are amazing.

We rearranged our room and it's going to be good to have a change of pace! I'm also reevaluating what to focus on. I need to focus on others. Turn outward rather than inward! This is the character of Christ. 😊 (Throwback to my second email!)

Today is going to be a good day! I'm praying for you all and LOVE YOU! Keep smiling, keep dancing, and keep singing; God is good!!!

Love,
Sister Mary Goss
