Farm Hand

This week was awesome! So much to talk about! The Lord blessed us  big time. We have 4 new people this week alone! That’s unheard of  for this area. I also went to Ypsilanti on an exchange with my boy,  Elder Jensen. The area we were in is really close to my old area and I  picked someone up for their area! The Lord blessed us a ton this  week. 



Another experience I had was we visited a member who was  struggling with the loss of her son who died a year ago. Elder Jensen  said he felt like he should let me talk, which surprised me. I was able  to share my families experience with Abbie when she passed, the  spirit was strong there and I told her how when times are hard all we  can do is put our trust and faith in the Lord. I can promise all of you  that when times are hard, take time to pray and talk with your  Heavenly Father, he will bless you :)) 



Alma 37:37; Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct  thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the  Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest  in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do  these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day. 



For the rest of the week I am now a farm hand 



This is a wild story. 2 months ago in Ann Arbor, myself and Elder  Reyes met this lady at Sam's Club. She said, hey Elders, come over  to Chelsea, momma will take care of you (I was serving in Ann Arbor  at the time). She referred to herself as a missionary momma, basically  a self referral, haha. She's not a member, but I plan on helping her get  there. So, 2 months later I get reassigned to Chelsea and Elder Reyes  to Adrian. Then Elder Reyes came up for the exchange and we knew  we had to go visit this lady, so we did and it was epic. She gave us a  tour of her farm and gave us 24 fresh eggs. We got to hold chicks and  ducks, it was wild. I also am now gonna do service there and help  around. I'm really looked forward to it and I'm either a cowboy or a  self appointed farm hand.  You will see those pictures below.  God blessed me a lot this week and I know he can for you too! Don't  forget to pray on top of all that, Brother Brad Wilcox gave us an  incredible devotional and there is so much I could talk about, but I'll  add it next week.



The question for the week is, what is the most quoted scripture in all  of General Conference? If you know, send it to me or email me and if  you're right, you will get a letter from me. 



Til next week - Elder Kendrick, Chelsea, Michigan

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...
