I Love Being A Missionary

I had an awesome week! 



We had many service opportunities this week and I love it. It's fun to  help people especially when they don't have time or are unable. I'm  very grateful I get to help them. 



I did get to go to the farm and drive a tractor. It was lots of fun and  they said they are gonna teach me some more farm stuff. We also got  a lot of eggs.... 



We met some incredible members this week. One lady who was the  first Black Captain on a battleship gave us lots and lots of food. She  showed us into her barn and there she had 3 Corvettes and 2  Camaro’s, mind blown. She also has a Bad Boy lawn mower, she's  business.  



We also found a geo cache, which was cool. I had an exchange with  the DL (District Leader), it was a good time. I do want to say I love  being a missionary, even though Chelsea isn't an area where people  are super open minded. We met lots of cool people and can help  them. 



We had a good Lesson with Larry and he started to tear up and say  thank you. The spirit can touch me, you and everyone. It doesn't take  much. It can take just being a friend to someone, being a Christ like  example, doing service, carrying each other burdens, doing any sort  of missionary work or simply just being there for someone. 



Mosiah 2:17 And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn  wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your  fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God. 



Have a good week! Thanks for all your support and prayers!

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...
