Hi all,

I am trying to think like Nephi this week and this transfer. What I am coming to find is that Nephi was one of the most amazing people to walk this earth. Each transfer our Zone leaders come up with Zone goals. When I heard what the Lord was asking of me this transfer I honstly was scared at first. They are big and require a lot of stretching for us a missionaries and for the ward I serve in. We have been asked to find a service opportunity every week which has been very hard in this area, as well as get 2 new investigators each week through the members. Both of these things has been hard for our ward thus far, but I am thankful to know that "I can do all things through Him that strengtheneth me". 

There is a quote that was in a members home, "FAITH MAKES IT POSSIBLE, NOT EASY." 

I have faith that as I put forth my effort and pray that I will be able to accomplish the things that have been asked of me. Just like Nephi said to his father, "I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, because I know that the Lord will give me no commandment except He shall prepare a way that I may accomplish the thing/s that He has commanded me." 

So as I was praying I realized that the Lord had already prepared a way. I saw so many doors that have been opened for me this last transfer and have set this ward up with great opportunities! Like this week we had an opportunity to help a family move. Their father, who was a less active member, passed away so they were moving to a smaller house in the ward. This was a miracle in my eyes because the mother and her 3 children are not members. As we helped them move we were able to really get to know them. They are obviously hurting from their loss and we were able to help lift their burden. Now we are able to go and give that healing Salve which we know is Chirst. 

This weeks letter is going to be a bit short. But I know that Christ is our savior and that through him all things are possible. He has a plan and timing. We just need to trust in Him and that plan of happiness.

I love you all,

Sister Draney
