New Companion

Hey Guys, 



I am staying in Ann Arbor and my new companion is Elder DaBell! He grew up in  Rexburg, Idaho and studied at USU as well! He knows where I lived and come from  and we get along very well.  



We have been doing good work since he's gotten here and found a new person to  teach! Yay! We are close on some others as well. We did have to go back to Detroit,  where he last served because he had a baptism. The spirit was really strong there.  After the baptism they played the Rome Temple video which increased the spirit that  was already there. On the way back, I got to see Detroit which was really cool. I  wouldn't feel bad if I didn't see it again though, haha. I did see Canada which is crazy.  It’s just right across the water. We got to teach Louis again and brought along a  member whose name is Mark Vincent Nadon. He's a convert to the church and he's a  very smart guy but can also talk your ear off. The lesson went well. Overall this week  has been better than all the ones before it....I'm excited to see what comes in the  following weeks. Here's a few photos.  



The first one is a guy who didn't read the sign (the red car), I thought it was funny.  The second one is when we did some park contacting, which we did get a number.  Next one is the best the sky has looked here. Then there is the Detroit skyline.

Winner's New Year

Luke 18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, He said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. I love this scripture because at the end it says "Come follow me." It's at the end, which sometimes in life it seems last minute, last time we try, last thing we do, is our answer or our chance to "change things." How many last chances are we going to get? How many times can we make the same mistake? How many times are we going to stay the same? How many times do we need to be told what to do? I really hope 2024 is a year that we all grow a lot, grow spiritually, physically, and mentally. Let’s take up our cross and bear it, let's give up that thing we know we don’t want too, "because it is too hard”. Let’s face that trial, face our fears,”Don't let your fear decide your fate." Even though some of the motivation we have is from the date cha...

The Difference

Image
Think of the difference of your life without the Gospel and Jesus Christ's example.  Where would you be now?   What would you be doing?   How much different would your life be?   All that you know, the things that bring you peace, the things you enjoy you have been  blessed with, with all this you have, has it changed you?   One of the hardest things to do in life is change. I’ve reflected on how much the Gospel  has changed me. I feel like I've had 5 years of experience with having only being out for  what feels like a few months.   The Gospel helps us change when we follow it and live it, the change comes naturally  as God blesses us when we try to become like the Son.   As I look back from week to week, I see the change, though little, I see how each week  the Gospel helps me "overcome the world and find rest." It helps me know that we are  all children of God, and divine.  Those deep ...

New Perspective

Image
I am in Detriot. The city. Downtown. Talk about New Perspective. The adjustment has been an interesting one, but I love it. This will most likely be the last area I serve in. I have moved up closer to some of my favorite missionaries. As I reflect on my mission, my perspective has changed in life completely. Perspective is the way we see things when we look at them from a certain distance and it allows us to appreciate their true value and act accordingly. An example, you don't know how much you miss someone until you don't get to spend as much time with them... Distance kills what's fake and shows you what's real. Perspective is the window you look through to perceive everything. Is your window clean or dirty? Perspective helps you to know where you are now and where you want to go. While you're on the path, are you going to be looking for the tools on the way or the obstacles? Proverbs 14:8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools...
