god knows

visiting teaching is inspired of god. today i gained a testimony of that. i think ive always known that but it was more like it fell under the umbrella of the gospel...and since i know the church is true, i know visiting teaching is true. ive never had a problem with it and ive always tried my best to fulfill my calling as a visiting teacher but now i have a testimony of it for myself! and i have a testimony of it specifically, as its own aspect of the gosepl, and not just because its a part of it.

meet my visiting teachers, anya and lety:

they came over and visited me this afternoon and it was so so good. i LOVE them. it's the first time ive been visit taught in this ward...last semester my visiting teachers never came. and like president heaton said, it was totally worth the wait. god knew anya and lety were the perfect visiting teachers for me to have.

their message was inspired. it was perfect. it was fulfilling and uplifting. it was motivating. it added oil to my lamp. i felt of their love. and i felt of gods love. their message made me want to be better. it coincided with some of the thoughts ive had recently. it confirmed some of the impressions i had a few days ago. it was for me. it was what i needed to hear. they spoke with power and love and they spoke with the spirit. they applied their message to my preparation for the mission. they gave me advice and counsel. they were excited for me. they prayed for me, for my family, for my welfare. they came to visit and to teach...not just to check off a box on their to-do list. they are an influence for good. they are a blessing. they are a tender mercy.

because of their visit i understood the power of visiting teaching. i understood how it can bless our lives. and i was reminded that god knows best.
