Howdy yall!
It was such a fun week and I can't believe this transfer is
already half over. So next week, I won't be emailing. DON'T WORRY THOUGH.. I'll
be sending a letter. Sis Allred and I came up with the idea of a BOM-athon. A
few missionaries from our district and some future missionaries from our ward
are joining us as we read the Book of Mormon with each other all the way
through instead of our Pday. I'm so excited for it! We thought it would be a
good way to show our Lord how grateful we are for The Book of Mormon during
this Thanksgiving season. I have so much to be thankful for!
Memorial Day was so great. We went with some of our district
and sung patriotic songs to John Cook. I can't express in all these letters
just how much I love John! He calls us just about every day just to say hi and
how much he loves us- it's the best phone call we get any day! He also invited
us to spend Thanksgiving dinner with he and his wife this past Thursday. They
celebrate it early so all the workers can be with their families on
Thanksgiving. It was so special being there with them. They are family to me
now. Also John got the priesthood on Sunday! I couldn't help but tear up as he
struggled to stand up in the congregation to be sustained a Priest. Moments
like those make every things worth it. Hopefully he'll be going to the temple
this Saturday to do baptisms for the dead.. and he knows a LOT of people who
have passed, or expired as he says. He's the best missionary too! He's tried to
give every one on his hall a Book of Mormon. He's always asking us for more
supplies to give out. He's definitely trying to make up for the 83 years he
didn't have the gospel, and he's exceeding!
Kayce was baptized on Saturday! It was such a special
service. I surprised her with the song she requested, "I'll Believe in
Him". Her family and friends were all there and it was just such a great
baptism. I can't get over the change in that girl. As I spoke at her baptism, I
got choked up as I spoke of how proud I was that she accepted Jesus Christ as
her Savior. What greater thing could a person do.
Okay so these are my weekly quotes that I LOVE.
"In the sight of the Lord, it is not so much what we
have done or where we have been but much more where we are willing to go."
Elder Dube
"The past is to be learned from but not lived in. We
look back to claim the embers from glowing experiences but not the ashes. And
when we have learned what we need to learn and have brought with us the best
that we have experienced, then we look ahead and remember that faith is always
pointed toward the future." Jeffrey R. Holland
"I testify that as we are spiritually attentive
and observant, we will be blessed with eyes that see more clearly, ears that
hear more consistently, and hearts that understand more fully the significance
and subtlety of His ways, His thoughts, and HIs blessings in our lives."
Elder Bednar
"Our daily walk with Jesus Christ leads to peace and
purpose in this life and profound joy and eternal salvation in the world to
come." President Uchtdorf
"Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith."
President Uchtdorf
John 6:67-68 'Will ye also go away?' 'Then Simon Peter
answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou has the words of eternal life.'
"I plead with all who hear or read these words: Come
join with us! Come heed the call of the gentle Christ. Take up your cross and
follow Him. Come, join with us! For here you will find what is precious beyond
price. I testify that here you will find the words of eternal life, the promise
of redemption, and the pathway to peace and happiness. I earnestly pray that
your own search for truth will impress upon your heart the desire to come and
join with us." President Uchtdorf
If you can't tell I LOVED General Conference. I love our
prophets and apostles! I'm so grateful to be a representative of this church!
Also one last funny and very embarrassing story. So we were
teaching Byron the new member lesson about the priesthood. As a missionary, I
have to rely on the spirit to know what to say, but sometimes I don't listen as
well as I should! So I was explaining how it's amazing that through the
priesthood you can do miracles, but it's always to bless others, never
yourself. Great stuff, right? Well. For some reason this came out of my
mouth.."The priesthood is the power of God! You could even move mountains
with it! Although that would never happen.. so forget it I said that.. unless
you were saving a village of people.. but again that would never happen."
Oh some of the things I do.. Anyways thought yall would enjoy that!
I love yall so much! Have a good 2 weeks!
Love,
