Biggest Highlights of My Week

I was blessed to have an awesome week. I had so many opportunities to serve and to love. The weather here is really cold haha. It's been down to the 40's but we have been handling it well. And my companion is doing awesome as well. Sometimes being open and upfront with someone is just what they need. He is a really good kid and loves to learn how to do missionary work. And I love working with him. And I give him a lot of crap haha. I can't do it to no one else... Damitu isn't here haha. 

     We have been blessed with so many people to teach and I can't be thankful enough. We have been working with Melissa and nakia they are both in their 20's and love the gospel already. They are both working very hard to meet the requirements for baptizims. They even remember there dates and everything and we haven't had any problems with them not keeping commitments. They came to church yesterday and they loved it. The members just took them in made them feel so welcomed. Everyone was so out going. They had a lot of questions answered and felt the spirit as well. It sure made my week 😊 

     Joe,sherry~ these two are couples we have Been working with and they both are awesome as well. We had to move their babtizmal dates because they weren't able to make it to church. Because of some kind of sickness they had. But they are working hard to overcome there habits of smoking and trying to get married so they can get baptized. I feel very fortunate and so blessed to be able to work with such amazing people. 

      Naja,Norien~ are two brothers we have been working with as well. They are part member family as well. Their mother is a less active and has been for along time due to work. But she has been trying to come to church as well. Naja is 15 years old and Norien is 16. And she wants them both to take the lessons and get baptized so have been working with them as well. They are both exited to get baptized as well. I'm super exited to see them get baptized and make the covenant that's going to Bering them closer to their Heavenly Father. 

     Chris~ is a very humble man that's so willing to change who he is, and just his whole life. He had a drinking problem for over 5 years and since we have been working with him he has quit drinking for about 20 days now. He has been reading the Book of Mormon a lot and trying to find an answer so he can get get baptized as well. It's truly remarkable how you can put these gospel in anyone's life and it can work for them. And if it doesn't they must be doing something wrong. 

     Josh sweazy~ is a man who has been looking for a change for a long time. He has a concern for the longest time. that God doesn't answer his prayers or that maybe he just doesn't exist. He doesn't know if the bible is true or any church for that matter. But we taught him the first lesson and he was in tears. We were blessed enough to answer his question, concerns and Addressed his needs. I'm so thankful.

    Anyways those are some of my biggest highlights of my week. I get humbled everyday and I feel my saviors hand in my life so much and I'm so great full. I hope everyone of you is really thinking about what the savior has done for you and how the atonement applies to each of you. It's my favorite time of the year and there is not even any snow here haha. We still have green grass and it blows my mind haha. 

      And I was just being funny!! To be completely honest.. Going and getting Christmas trees with you and working at the store with dad was some my fondest memories. I wouldn't trade those for anything. It wasn't the thanksgiving dinner that I missed this year but going and getting a tree and I even told my companion about it haha. I always sounded like I didn't want to go but I always ended up loving it. 

       Yes you can send it too the members home. 1603 Knob Hill Rd

Elizabethtown, Kentucky 42701-9175 and their names are Byrnes, LeGrande Richard & Stephanie Thea. He is my ward mission leader and I will be calling you from his home on Christmas as well. Haha it's so wired how fast time goes by.  I prepared something you and or even the hill family can do together. It's about the Book of Mormon. I highlighted couple things and took a picture of it so you can use that. And I got some scriptures you can read as well at the end of introducing the Book of Mormon then use the scriptures. Moroni 10:32-33

Commitment~ read the Book of Mormon, ponder in your hearts the message it contains. Then ask God if the Book of Mormon is true. 

Let me know how it goes. I will share the pictures with you. I promise you these will change the way you view the Book of Mormon. It's truly remarkable. I love it. I just finished it again and I started again today. It's my life haha. I love you and I hope you have the best week of your life💙

Gospel love.
