Mmm mmm mmm

 What's up everyone? Hope it's been good where you're at. Well this week was super cool, we had a member of the 70 come to our mission, his name was Elder Mark A. Bragg. He really loved our mission but apparently we've been doing companionship study wrong my whole mission haha. The spirit gave me a good reminder of the small things in missionary work and even just life in general that make such a big difference. It reminds me of Elder Uchtdorf and his talk on a matter of a few degrees and the difference those tiny mistakes or faults can do. Through "small means the Lord can bring about great things." To improve on these small things, I've been making goals around the scripture of Christ asking three times to Peter, "Lovest thou me, more than these?" Our every decision and action we use with our agency reflects how much we love the Lord. Every action, thought, and priority we have either helps us progress and grow or regress. Focusing on the small things in our lives shows our immense desire to serve the Lord and become more like Him . I've seen through many others and mine own as well, that complacency is what ruins progression and causes others to be settle with less than what they can achieve and receive. A determined desire to always live life showing love for God, motivates us to strengthen faith, serve others, and better improve our lives and the lives of others. The scripture "Lovest thou me, more than these?", has been constantly running through my head these last few weeks and has been the greatest motivation to avoid complacency and slothfulness, and instead show my love to God, by bringing many others(including myself) closer to Him. Well... obvious invite coming up, imagine Christ asking you the question, "Lovest thou me, more than these?" I love y'all and I love the Lord. God bless and God bless America! Keep grinding and the Horns Down.

  Hello everybody! It's been a good week. We were able to get in contact with multiple friends who we haven't been able to get in contact with for awhile. They all went really well and like I said this areas still promising. We're starting a new team system for members in our ward that should absolutely blow up. It's a great idea and I can't wait to see how it goes. The members are going to be involved so much more now. We also had our friend Luis come to church, which I believe I talked about last week. If you've been out here and know me you know I'm high on Luis. Such a great dude. The people here like always are super fun to talk to. This one guy we talked to had the exact replica of Kiit from knight rider. Which I've never seen but I know what it is and it was used at some event before the movie was released and has David hasslehoffs signature along all the cast and stunt teams signatures. It was pretty dang sweet. Anyways like always I'm keepin...

Mariners and Coaching time

 I guess it's been a couple weeks that's my bad! There's a lot to catch up on. I'm back with my old companion from Colorado, Elder Votava. YSA or the young single adult congregation has been different but super fun still! We helped our friend Cadence make a covenant with God and be baptized! That was awesome and shes super chill and even with a crazy living situation decided to be baptized, because she said she knew it was true and couldn't deny it. We're planning to go to the temple with her this week! So it's been good, you get to meet some super awesome people in the ward. We've been grinding it out. It's nice being in Kent and the weather being warm. We just contact people for days, and it's a ton of fun. You get to meet some great people and make a lot of friends. It's great just talking to people about their lives and hobbies and transitioning that to Jesus Christ and being able to bear testimony of Him as our Savior. Our mission presid...

Crunch Time

  How's it going? Twas a good week. There's two more weeks left in this transfer and I'll most likely be transferred out sadly. It's crunch time here in Victor Falls ward.  Struggled to get in contact with a lot of people but we did have one of our friends the new Luis come to church with us. He really enjoyed the Easter program and said he would love to come next week and in the future. It was a great Easter weekend. Easter is a great holiday to remember our savior and Redeemer Jesus christ. He overcame death through the resurrection and His sacrifice allows us to return to live with our Father in Heaven again someday. Every single person will too be resurrected again and have their bodies perfected. How beautiful this message is and also being able live together with our families further than the good ol til death do us part. Through Christ we can live with our Father again in perfected resurrected bodies and live with our families forever for eternity. The reason for...
