Sister Abby Gibbs Birmingham Alabama Mission: Matthew 16:25 :) Literally Loosing Ourselves in the Work! #grace :)

Hey Fam!

This week we prayed to know where to be in order to find someone who needed to know about their Savior's love, and we found her! We saw some leaves that were just beautiful and needed to be raked so we knocked on her door. Her husband is in the hospital and she was just at the house to grab some things for him. We almost missed her, good thing God is good. We told her we were representatives of Jesus Christ and we wanted to rake her leaves:) SHE FELT HER SAVIOR'S LOVE:) She explained her story and said God sent you! Follow the promptings fam! So we got lost in the work and jumped in the leaves:) Probably the happiest day of my life:)

Sister Parsons is amazing! What a solid missionary. She loves the work so much! I'm grateful I get to be her companion:) She is from Texas!!!! She's an amazing piano player also. Love her! 3 for 3 as far as companions go:)

I've had some Emmaus experiences (experiences where Christ walks with us Luke 24:32) in my studies this week. I've been studying Grace and it has really hit my heart. The Holy Ghost witnessed to me how our Savior's Grace is sufficient for me. I've known this, heard this, but with the Holy Ghost testifying this principle to me I now feel my Savior's love and Grace with all it's strength:) The spirit strengthens us. I know this to be true.

I know that we receive a witness, "after the trial of our Faith " Ether 12:6. Therefore I know that if we have faith our Savior's Grace, or help and guidance (knowing where to be to find the one, or knowing what to say to a person who needs to hear our Heavenly Father's voice) will be shown in our lives, and we will see it after our test of our Faith (after we get out the door at 10:00, or after we open our mouths).

"And neither at any time hath any wrought miracles until after their faith; wherefore they first believed in the Son of God." -Ether 12:18.

I know my Savior lives.

"And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my GRACE is sufficient for ALL men that HUMBLE themselves before me; for if they HUMBLE themselves before me, and have FAITH in me, then will I make weak things become STRONG unto them." Ether 12:27

I have found strength in my Savior. Grace is sufficient and eternal. Grace miracles happen after our faith! Grace does cover it all! Grace is consistent. His Grace does envelope and enable us! I know this to be true through the witness of the Holy Ghost.

I love y'all thanks for all the letters:) I pray for you every day:) I love being a missionary:) Have the best week ever!

Love, Sister Gibbs

This looks like more fun than service but hey, this is the best kind of service!
