Another Week

This past week has just been one of those weeks, but it was a good week. Not  much happened, yet I did get to visit Marcia on her farm and have lunch with a  good friend Linda. 



From the pictures below you can see Marcias farm was in a movie and she's  also been on a TV show on Disney+ called Dr. Pol.  

Apparently, the duck I held a while back, "Miss Duck" is a famous duck, haha.  



Because this upcoming week may be Fast Sunday for all of you, I'd like to talk  about it. When Alma the Younger is converted, he sees an angel. He rarely talks  about it, he only talks about it to his children. 



When he does preach, he talks about his testimony, about prayer and fasting.  Imagine if you saw an angel, that would be wild! Yet from Alma's account and  testimony we know he was converted by prayer and fasting, not the angel. 



Alma 5:46; Behold, I say unto you they are made known unto me by the Holy  Spirit of God. Behold, I have fasted and prayed many days that I might know  these things of myself. And now I do know of myself that they are true; for the  Lord God hath made them manifest unto me by his Holy Spirit; and this is the  spirit of revelation which is in me. 



Since I've been on a mission for over 6 months, I've prayed and fasted a good  deal, and I can say I wouldn't be out here if it wasn't for the blessings and  answers I got for myself.  



I can promise all of you that if you need direction, peace, knowledge and overall  blessings, praying and fasting will help you. 



Thanks again for all the prayers and support! 



Love you all!

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...
