WEEK 33: Charity

Hello friends!

In my personal studies I  learned something that hit me hard. Good thing we have the Atonement! haha. I read Jacob 2:18-19. Basically it talks about first seek the kingdom of God, and if you do you will be blessed with riches. It tells us we need to use what we have to bless the poor and needy and sick and people who are less fortunate than us. So for me I need to be more charitable. I realized I need to give more freely of myself and give more of what I have. Sometimes many of us including myself get so caught up in the world and the riches of it but we don't realize we really have nothing. Everything we have really isn't ours, so whatever we are blessed with we should use it to bless others. 

Charity is the pure love of Christ. If we think about Christ our perfect example he wasn't rich as to thing of the world. Instead of chillin in some huge mansion with 12 cars, he gave everything, including his time, talents,and eventually his life. So for this near year I'm going to try to follow his example and give of myself freely and whatever is required of me. I'm going to pray for strength to help me develop charity everyday.  I'm going to realign myself with God and become a more obedient and better missionary. The CHUCH IS TRUE!

Anyways just wanted to share what I learned with you all. For me nothing crazy happened this week. It was transfers but nothing changed for me. The baptism is postponed until Monday and that's all for me.

love you all!
