Divinely Designed

Sorry for being so bad at writing my emails! These last couple of P-Days have been just crazy busy.

This week we had a large zone conference because Elder Stanfill of the Seventy came to our mission and gave a lot of trainings to our mission! There was some great stuff that he talked about, but over all he really got us all very motivated to really push ourselves and give our all in this great work!

One of the other missionaries, Sister Atkisson, gave a really great talk as well in which she said something really profound that I can also testify of. She said “Our Heavenly Father places us in situations that have been divinely designed for our peronal growth.” I cannot tell y’all just how true that is. Our Father in Heaven is aware of us and all of our needs, and he knows what we need more than we do. Every situation we are put into is designed specifically for us because there is something that we need to learn from it that will help us grow. I have seen countless examples of this where I was frustrated at a certain circumstance I had been placed in,
be it a hard area or a difficult companion or some other obstacle that has gotten in my way; usually it wasnt until after I got passed the obstacle that I realized how much I had grown from that trial and how important it was that I had that trial and that growth.

I’m sorry that I have to keep this email short, but I love all of you and encourage you all to keep that mind set of looking for why our Father in Heaven would have designed each trial for you. It’s incredible how it changes your perspective!

Love y’all,
Elder Klingler

Pitcures:
1. A member had us try on her husband’s old jackets and took pictures of us. We felt like we were flight attendants, haha
2. My companion and I discovered this little play ground that is hidden way back in these woods at the back of an apartment complex

I am sorry that we didnt take more photos, we will work on that!
