He brings you low so He can lift you higher

Wow! You would not believe the things that have happened this week,
even if I told you! All I can say is that this was one of the most
scary/challenging weeks of my life! Isn't that so typical of life when
you're trying so hard to do the right thing? I want to share with you,
what I have learned is David Archuleta's favorite scripture (so you
know it's a good one 😉) : "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

That's exactly what's happened to me this week, I've been very
humbled, again and again. But as much as I've been humbled, I've been
so blessed. For all these things that have been happening this week,
my companion and I weren't able to do much until yesterday, and we
prayed so much that we would be able to still meet our goals, and the
Lord helped us so much. We found 5 people to teach in one day! Also, I
have been given so much strength as I've felt lowly and insufficient.
These past three days, we have had the opportunity to invite people to
be baptized and all three people accepted. I've felt the Lord guiding
and directing me this week more than ever, encouraging me and lifting
me in ways I've never felt before. I just know that everything happens
for a reason!

You should know that I just got done partying with my district and
playing four-square with all the elders, yes, four-square! So random,
and perfect. I love these people. There are so many missionaries here
from the northwest, if that explains the quirkiness. So, all in all
everything is okay now, and next week begins a new adventure and new
lessons to learn! I love you all! Stay warm and hug each other for me!
Love forever, Hermana Sheirbon ❤️
