Detroit Temple Week

Hey everyone,  



This week went by fast. I had an awesome opportunity to go to the  Temple in Detroit this week with the Senior Couple. They are leaving  sadly, but we have a great relationship and it was such a blessing to  be able to go with them. I highly recommend everyone go to the  Temple!  



I also got a hair cut this week..... so you'll see that in the photos. I  also went on an exchange this week. I went with the DL (District  Leader) and we met this.....interesting Star Wars guy. I got a free  poster from him. I don't think I need to explain it. The photo explains  it all.  



We haven't had much luck here in Chelsea, but I am happy to report I  picked someone up for the Adrian area Elders. We met her while  walking on the street and we just were talking about God and how  much Jesus loves us. It was an awesome conversation and she was  very happy. We asked for her number so we could teach more. I have faith we can get people in this area too. I have committed to  putting all I have into finding someone in Chelsea.  



The weather hasn't changed. Snowed 3 times this week, but most of  it has melted now. For the spiritual thought this week: “You are a child of God. You have a loving Heavenly Father who hears  and answers your prayers. He wants you to be worthy to return and  live with Him someday. Knowing this can help you plan for your  earthly and eternal future with a brightness of hope. As you look to  the future, look far beyond tomorrow.” 



I know from personal experience. I know this is true! From studying  the plan of salvation it’s obvious this plan comes from His infinite love  for us, it gives us purpose and literally a plan for us. Heavenly Father  wants to help and bless us, his arms are always open. Thanks for all your prayers, til next week.

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...
