Last week I had a different experience (similar to one I had at MTC once!) I woke up in the middle of the night and could NOT sleep! I tried and tried but just couldn´t. I was wide awake. A thought came to me that I should read thge Book of Mormon.. I ignored it for a few minutes since I didn´t want to wake up my companion.. but then since the thought wouldn´t leave my head I got up and got my Book of Mormon and a flashlight and quietly read. I´d had some questions and worries the last few days and the passages I read gave me the comfort and help I needed! After about 1 1/2 hours I came to the end of a chapter and the verse said: "And now, (my brethren), I would speak unto you more; but on the morrow I will declare unto you the remainder of my words. Amen" As soon as I had read those words I was overcome with tiredness and returned to sleep until the alarm went off and the new day started. I think that sometimes I am too distracted with everything that is going on around me to search for and look for the answers that I am seeking. But God is loving and wants me to know it, so he wakes me up and teaches me what I need to know. Hopefully I´ll bge better at listening throughout the day though so I can SLEEP at night! ;)
I´m trying to become a better tool in Godś hands and I want to always be willing to serve when I see the opportunity to. The last few weeks at church I´ve taken the opportunity to help by playing the piano(even when that meens only playing with one hand at times), volunteering to teach parts of lessons and share testimony or answer questions in lessons and volunteer to pray. I want to be a help and I´ve felt a much bigger joy to be at church when serving and helping and showing the members in Tartu that I love them!
Hope you´ll have a great week!!
