WOW
only like 2 more weeks of the transfer left! CRAZY! And I have been out on my
mission for 4 months! That is crazy because it feels like I just left you all
just yesterday! I was talking with Sister Watkins, that since I've left, two
apostles have died, gay marriage is legal and Amanda has lost a ton of weight
and is stunning, Eric and Hayley have a new house a new baby on the way and
Milly moo looks like a different person! WOW that's a lot! hahaha
This letter is going to
be short because nothing super exciting happened. I got Dads letter and I'm
sure he's going to be a prophet or something! Dad I just LOVE the way
that you read and understand the scriptures and how you know how to apply them
to our lives! It helped so much and really opened my eyes. We contact all day
long trying to find new people to teach and trying to get a hold of people we
used to teach. This week we only had one lesson with an investigator. and we
had a lot of 0 on other things, but I felt good about it. The week wasn't good,
people were mean and a lot of doors were slammed in our face and no one is
interested. But I feel good about the week because I know that I put all of my
effort and diligence into the work! I know that God is pleased with my work and
that's all he asks for!
Its amazing how reading-
and I mean REALLY reading your scriptures each day can change your look on
things. I have been really focused on really having the spirit teach me in my
personal and companionship study! It is so important! Oh also, I think everyone
reading this letter should read Preach My Gospel! THAT IS NOT JUST FOR
MISSIONARIES@!!!!! It has really opened up my understanding of the gospel and I
have a deep love for it as well!
I have such a testimony
of the atonement! My favorite scripture about it is Alma 7 11-12. ahhh Everyone
read it and put your name into the scripture so it is more meaningful! It is
amazing that Christ loves us so much that he went through all of that for us
and its not for people who are just members! Christ paid the price for
EVERYONES sins, pains EVERYTHING! Sometimes I think we take that too lightly
and really, we need to stop and really look and realize everything God does for
us! Wow we have such a loving Heavenly Father who loves us more than we will
ever understand! I love you family!!!!!!!
