The past 18 months, as I have been called and set apart as a representative of Jesus Christ, I have been able to come to know my Savior and my Father even more. I've witnessed too many miracles to deny that they live, and that this is the gospel that Christ established while He was on the earth.
2. I know who I am.
I know that I, Sister Pace, am a daughter of the most high God. I know that I have been refined, and shaped into what Heavenly Father wants me to be over the past 18 months. I've had my weaknesses stamped on my forehead all throughout my mission and it's been enough for me to learn how to rely on the Grace of God to bring those weaknesses into strengths. I look forward to continue to build upon the person I have become as I go throughout my life.
3. I know that I am nothing without Charity.
I have learned what real Charity is. It is the pure love of Christ. I have loved every single individual that I have come in contact with in the Texas Houston South Mission. Without that love, I could not have found their needs and concerns to help them build their faith in Jesus Christ. I needed to learn to let go of my own wants, desires, hobbies, which has allowed me to gain true love and charity for these people and see how the gospel can bless their lives. I learned how to keep my "eye single to the glory of God.'' He loves all of His children, and if we see them with the potential that He sees them, then they will change, and they will have their hearts softened.
4. We can be agents who act.
The best way we can grow is by being agents and act, instead of being acted upon. We will always be in circumstances that we may not like, but God has given us the wonderful gift of agency and help from the Savior to act and make the best of our circumstances. With our agency, we can find the most success in all we do. We can truly find joy in the journey!
5. Everything is bigger in Texas!
I've really grown to love this place. The people here are truly amazing! The things I've recognized most is that these people's hearts are sure big in Texas. Even though there is a lot of diverse religions, there is a lot of wonderful Christian people. They'll always lend a hand to help someone, not afraid to pray in their front yard, and you can get them talkin' for hours! I've been truly blessed to be sent to the best mission in the world...TEXAS HOUSTON SOUTH MISSION! God bless Texas!
Merry Christmas Everyone and Happy New Year!!
