The Gospel Give Comfort

Hey mommy! 
    Thank you thank you! I really did have a good birthday!  I truly do feel loved. Sister Dale from my last area was I guess planing on making me a cake for my birthday and ended up being sick that day.. So brother Dale took us out to eat... And they had us over this Saturday for a surprise birthday party another one hahah.. So I got another cake for my birthday. I am so spoiled haha.  I love them so much. That family has just been there to support me so much. 
 
     I am glad you like hearing about my investigators. I truly do love them. It's wired how that works. It could just be one lesson that we have taught to an investigator but it doesn't matter.. I feel like I have had that love for them for all my entire life. And the more I get to serve them the more I love them.

My district is doing super well. None of the areas in this district have baptized for the longest time like almost  year each. But this transfer we have all been blessed with baptisms. The lord does truly have his tender mercies. I love him. I remember how terrified I was when I got this call. And president said. That he expected baptisms out each one of this areas this transfer.. I didn't know honestly if it was possible at all. But we did it!!!!! We are so blessed! I love my missionaries. In fact  I think we have the best missionaries in the world here in the Kentucky Louisville mission. 

Wendell is doing so good!! He got stuck after thunder over Louisville Saturday night and had to spend the night at a hotel.. So he wasn't able to make it to church the next day but we went to a fireside for investigators and recent converts. They just basically go up and bare there testimonies! It was super powerful. Wendell got up and bore his testimony of the reality of the savior Jesus Christ. And he even used scriptures from the Book of Mormon.  I was so happy. Now we just gotta baptize him haha. And the cool thing was some of my recent converts were there for my last two areas and they all bore their testimony of their conversion. And it really humbled me and brought tears of joy. I love them. And they do mean the world to me. 

Josh,Sarah, and Michelle are all one family. We have been working with the them now for little over a month. They are super sweet humbled family. Michelle lost her husband and her child here recently and it has been very hard on her. She really had no clue what would happen to her husband and her child.. And she specially was worried about her child because he never was baptized and she taught he would just go to hell. And she was super troubled and we were able to read Moroni chapter 8 with her. And it gave her so much happiness and comfort and peace. They are super awesome. We are working hard to get them baptized here in a few weeks. 

This gospel does give comfort to those that are looking for it. I love it so much. It gives me hope. I know I can't find this joy any where else.. But from this church. He loves to shower us with blessings. But the catch is .. With every blessing there comes also a law. And that is being obedient to gods commandments. Our apostles and prophets have said " it is by obedience that we gather light into our souls" I hundred percent believe that to be true! I love you guys! Thanks for all you do. I think I have the best parents in the world. No wait... I know I have the best parents in the world. You have a blessed week!!
