I Got Shot At

Well another week. 



It was a good week! We met with a lot of members and gave a blessing to one.  It was a surprise, but a welcome one. It was funny because I was just talking to  my companion, Elder Olsen about being worthy and ready for administering  blessings earlier in the day, and well!  



It was good to be worthy and prepared! The spirit was strong and it was good  for my 2nd blessing



We picked up a new person named Lee this last Sunday. She is elect and was  busy, but she really wants to talk to us. We also went to a lady named Linda for  service, we walked her dogs. She was super excited to see us, she loves  missionaries, but isn't a member.... just like Marcia. We went to Marcia’s farm  this week and sadly no pictures because we were busy. I had a killer dinner at  the farm, but stay tuned for my friends, we’re working on them. We also called  Larry and shared this scripture; Mosiah 24:14, And I will also ease the burdens  which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your  backs, even while you are in bondage; and this will I do that ye may stand as  witnesses for me hereafter, and that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord  God, do visit my people in their afflictions. 



I can promise all of you guys that this mission hasn't been the easiest thing I've  done, but the more I've relied on the Lord, the more he has blessed me and  strengthened me through my trials and I know He can do the same to you. 



For the subject of the email, I did get shot at, and hit twice, once in the shoulder  and one in the back. You can see one of the bullets hit a window..... haha. Good  thing it was a "nerf gun", the member suggested I make that my email subject. I  hope everyone is doing well and thank you for all the prayers.  



Stay safe!

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...
