Blessed

Hey guys,



Hopefully this email makes up for not getting one last week. We've been very blessed and our friends Jessica and Ben are going to be baptized on August 5! We've been teaching them from the beginning to now and the change in them is incredible! God works miracles.



We had quite the experience this week when we went to help a member move her couch..... we go there and she wants to give usher couch, but we can't have couches so we politely declined and she said "oh well, go put it in the garage and bring the ones in the basement up."



So we proceed to do that, when we open the basement door, cold air rushes out.... and I'm but a  few steps down and there are spider webs everywhere. We find out later she hasn't been in her basement for over 10 years. Elder Mangleson has arachnophobia, so I had to get the couch and her recliner to the door way and we had to deal with some other.... Predicaments.



The couch is covered in spider webs, wet from dog urine and somehow has wet leaves on it..... so when we get it up the stairs into her kitchen, it won't fit through any of the doors, mind you we are slipping on the kitchen floors because the floor is wet from dog urine. Anyway, we had to walk it outside, then back in another door and we finally got it in. It was a miracle I don't have any spider bites let alone a disease...respectfully.



Other than that, I've been very blessed and I'm trying to get the most of Chelsea before I leave in a few weeks. Thanks for all your prayer and support!

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...
