Our Own Flame of Faith

Our new trio 💙

Bueno, guess what! I'm training again for my last 3 weeks and we just picked up our new friend from the offices yesterday! Her name is Hermana Harmon. She's from Provo, Utah and she is awesome. She studied chemical engineering before the mission, she's super easy going and I love her already. Hermana Hawkes and I are training together so we'll be in a trio for these last three weeks of my mission, and then Hermana Hawkes will finish off her training without me. It's gonna be fun!!

Thanks for your comments about Abinadi! I love him and his teaching. The trust that he has in the Lord and His promised blessings astounded me the last time I read it. I want to trust so completely in the Lord.

I recently finished Mormon in the Book of Mormon and it really hit me how much and how deeply Mormon loved the people, even though they were wicked and going down the wrong path. He wanted to do everything for them to help them return to the covenant path, and you can feel the pain in his words as they are destroyed. I think that is both sad and beautiful and a lot like real life. We love people so much, but we cannot save them. We cannot live on borrowed light forever. At some point, we each have to foster our own flame of faith and take the steps along the covenant path ourselves. Kind of a sad study, but an eye opening one as well!

I love y'all. Keep being awesome! Don't forget to hug someone who might be lonely!

Love,

HERMANA SIEBACH
