Follow Those Impressions

What’s good!
This last week was awesome!


We had a crazy week of finding and starting to teach like 17 new people! Of course some of them are hopeful, but some may have just been nice. Sadly none of them came to church, so I'm going to have to work on that part. Most of them need rides and it's hard with having a branch and you share a car with 4 other missionaries.


I had an exchange with a new missionary, Elder Stubler. He's a great missionary and we were in his area for the day. After a few lessons we were tracking and as I was driving. I had a strong impression to knock a street, so I took a left and went around the block to get there.


Once we got there, we found a few people but it still felt like we needed to be there. As we were walking towards another house there was a lady sitting in her car. Elder Stubler felt inclined to talk to her, so he did and she said, "oh you just talked to my dad, he's the one in that house." We said, oh, alright and walked away.


As we got back to the car, we were discussing and wondering why we felt to go there. As we were sitting there, she (the lady sitting in the car) pulled up to us, which surprised us. We rolled down the window and she said "I really need to come to ya'lls church."


Boom! Spirit hit both of us which was like, ahhh "this is why you're here" moment. We gave her the info and I look forward to seeing what comes of this.


Other than that, this week was really good and I love the area. It's got it’s ups and downs, but I look forward to the baptism this week for Rich!


One thing I'd like to mention is, God is looking out for each of us and is very aware of our desires and what we need. His hand is in our every day life’s. I just hope we all notice it.


Love you all! God Bless

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...
