the work goes forth .. [08.17.09]


nothing feels better then doing the work of the Lord ! seriously.

coming into a new area always puts me back to the basics of missionary work. i love getting to know more Wisconsinites and feel the strength of the saints here in this part of the Lords vineyard !

ITS AMAZING !

we are working hard in this TRIO that covers 4 units ! its crazy fun. key thing i've always known and am learning even greater is PLANNING ! especially in a trio .. we all 3 have ideas and getting them ALL on the same page is the fun part ! LOVE IT.

lots of highlights and special events this past week !

Alma 26:20-22

"Oh, my soul, almost as it were, fleeth at the thought. Behold, he did not exercise his justice upon us, but in his great mercy hath brought us over that everlasting gulf of death and misery, even to the salvation of our souls."

"And now behold, my brethren, what natural man is there that knoweth these things? I say unto you, there is none that knoweth these things, save it be the penitent."

"Yea, he that repenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good works, and prayeth continually without ceasing—unto such it is given to know the mysteries of God; yea, unto such it shall be given to reveal things which never have been revealed; yea, and it shall be given unto such to bring thousands of souls to repentance, even as it has been given unto us to bring these our brethren to repentance."

* VALERIE RISSE was baptized in the Milwaukee 3rd YSA ward on saturday 08.15 .. it was a beautiful baptism and she could not stop smiling. i was able to talk with her quite a bit last week and she said from the moment she walked into the LDS church building she knew it was true and she said she felt like she was home. that really is the restored gospel of jesus christ !

* MUSKEGO LAKES & MILWAUKEE 3rd YSA = my focus ! i love working with these 2 wards .. we go on exchanges every sunday and it is fun .. i will always go to these 2 wards b.c. i will be permently up here in the M-TOWN !

i love this gospel. i love being in the full time service of my Heavenly Father. i love being a representative of Jesus Christ.

I LOVE YOU.
sister warner
