Hey everyone! Well "We thank thee o God for a Prophet" really stands out to me right now as we all had the opportunity to listen to our beloved Prophet and his Apostles this weekend! What did you learn or re-commit yourselves to do? There were so man things that i really took to hear that really i want to apply to my life as a missionary and to the life after the mish! But really the question i went with was answered for sure! I went with the question how can i apply the things of the mission life to the life after the mission and what can i do right now to do my best to live my purpose? I would have to say the theme that i took from conference was the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to focus everything on that no the church aspect of it! Really that hit me because everything i do as a missionary has to do with that. My purpose is to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the Restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ, Repentance, Baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end. Or in other word the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Everything we do in the church needs to be centered on that not on the whole social and all the stuff part of the church, we do all this and sacrifice all this to live the Gospel and to have the desire to follow him till the end so we can be rewarded for our sacrifice! It put me to think i need to do all i can to get that implemented in my head and to one day teach that to my family! The family is so important as they talked about and one cannot obtain the full state of happiness without living the principles of the gospel in the family. I am so grateful for the family i have and the example they have set for me and the many dumb things that i did and the patience they have had with me, i know they love me and i love them! Also i cant wait for my future family and so grateful for someone who is sacrificing to make that possible one day! There were so many good talks that i just cant talk about with the time, but i am grateful for the things i learned and hopefully you all learned a lot for its such a privilege to be able to listen to those conferences i regret not paying attention before the mission it would have probably helped me in many situations!
Well our area is going alright we met some good investigators this week that i hope we can get to progress. It's been hard because none of our babtismal dates are going to make it we like have to find some news that are willing and hopefully want to get to that poitn, i want to have the faith to find these people because i know they are out there. BUt i know right now i am planting many seeds i guess thats really what my misision has been and it is kinda cool to look back and a lot of the people i started teaching have gotten babtized. SO it makes everything worth it, because i ahve that desire to brign people unto Christ or my brothers or sisters can return o live with God one day! I love this work and i know without a doubt that God is the head of this work i know its true. I know Thomas S. Monson is a Prophet of God and he lads and guides the chruch today, I know the Book of Mormon is so true its blue and i love it! I love my family and so grateful for all they do. For my friends who support me and as you all know Ellie what she does for me too. I love you all hope you have a good and safe week. I hope this is a little bit better letter than what they have been in the past!
