March 19, 2018 Another week...it was crazy busy and full of more amazing experiences. First, let me say that I am so blessed to be out here, the blessings that have came to me and continue to come as I work hard are unbelievable. It is very humbling meeting the people we do on a daily basis. Many of the people we are in contact with come from some pretty crazy places and have been in some places that they weren't too happy about. But as I get to teach these people and they tell me about what they have been through or are going through I can't help but say a pray to my Heavenly Father as I have been blessed so much to not have had to go through many of the things that others have been. I was reading about trials and enduring to the end for some of the people we are teaching that is applicable to their lives as well as mine and I came across this from The reward of enduring well by President Henry B. Eyring "Our trials and our difficulties give us the opportunity to learn an

March 12, Monday O my gosh!! If I've ever had a busy week in my life this one was it!! I am so insanely blessed to be able to keep so busy so much!!! I was able to see so many miracles and so much growth in people we are working with and finding everyday!!! We had the opportunity to have zone conference  on Wednesday  (a big meeting that's all day with a lot of other missionaries that happens once every six weeks). As well as another full day thing at the temple  on Saturday ! It was so amazing!!! I loved being able to take one new member and two returning members to do temple work!!! Two of which had never been before!!! As we work with so many people in inviting them to come unto Christ and learn more about our believes we see a change for the better in so many people! Even just little things such as a cleaner house next time you come to visit, more cheerful and enthusiastic about what they are learning and the list goes on and I love seeing it as the gospel does change peop

Feb 26, 2018 Hope everyone had a wonderful week I love you all!! I had a great week. To be honest, at first when I started to look back on our week I was kinda disappointed because I felt like we didn't accomplish as much as normal. I say this because we weren't able to find any new people to teach. But as I was thinking about it, my companion and I had so much success, we were able to give so many people the chance as we went out to hear our message plus we are teaching a lot of people already so just because we didn't find anyone new this week we were still able to strengthen many peoples faith in Christ as well as do lots of service! I think I have shared this scripture but I'll share it again because it is so true and applicable to what we do out here as missionaries, Mosiah  2:17  "And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.&

February 20, 2018 Prep Day Pictures This week- Oh man what a great one! Got to experience the love my Father in Heaven has for me. From being able to stay positive even in the hardest of times to sharing a message of the restored gospel with individuals so willing and ready to listen. I want to start off by letting all of you know how blessed I am and all of us our for a Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ. I can't comprehend the love I feel they have for me as well as all of his other children (you!)  . I read a talk called "The word of God to his children" written by President Uchtdorf. He said: "If you approach Heavenly Father as His child, you can ask Him with a sincere heart, “Lead me, guide me, walk beside me, help me find the way. Teach me all that I must do.” He will speak to you through His Holy Spirit, and it is then up to you “to do his will.” I promise that if you do, “rich blessings are in store.”". As I strive to do his will everyday
