We had commemoration on June 27 for the Prophet Joseph Smith who was Martyred. It was amazing too see so many people come to Carthage jail to honor the prophet Joseph Smith! One of our favorite quotes that we say here in Nauvoo is.... Without Heavenly Father we wouldn't be here, without Jesus Christ it wouldn't matter, and without Joseph Smith... WE WOULDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT!!! Isn't that amazing! I love the gospel!!!! :) It's just soo good!!!
My companion is teaching me a lot about Meditation lol and sometimes If I study to hard or just overthink she always just like "meditate Sister Chapman meditate" Lol she's so funny! :)
This week I thought alot about loving others. That love a is a gift that is free. We came into this earth with Heavenly Father already loving us for who we are. no conditions. he loved all of his sinners perfectly. Every single one of us. We never earned his love. It was simply always there. and it got me thinking about missionary work and just about life in general. Maybe it's not necessarily about fixing every single person that we meet ( unless we are fixing ourselves) Maybe....it's about loving them perfectly for who they are. :) It's all about Love. Because heavenly father let his perfect son be crucified...his perfect son!!!! And we are sinners!!! How much love and compassion is that! I cannot even fathom it! It is so perfect and so real. And so I don't even know if I'm making sense, but I just thought alot about love this week! This whole life is about love. When we learn to listen to other with love and to love them for how God sees them to be. We will know how to help them because it comes from LOVE! And love is the secret to life!! :) And another thing I learned was that sometimes we have to break so that god can shape us into who he wants us to be :)
