Blessings

Hello friends and family. As I become very close to my year mark, I can’t help but think on the things I’ve learned as I’ve been serving the Lord. I have seen many blessings and have seen how merciful the Lord really is. Time and time again, I see how obedience brings blessings and how at times it is hard to be. When we truly want to be obedient, God changes us. He changes our heart and like Alma teaches us, we have a "desire to sin no more." What a blessing it is to know that God literally can change us and help us put off the natural man.


As of these last few weeks, I've seen lots of things and learned a lot. Dearborn is an interesting place and a lot of people want to talk. As I’ve been on my mission, I have come to dislike the phrase “I'm busy." People will make time for things they care about, thats how it’s always been. I've learned patience and I hope I’ve shown charity to these people. 


We had a blessing this week where a lady from Queens New York called us and wanted us to go give a blessing to her inactive son. We went over there and talked with him for a long time. We gave him a blessing and he just cried. I felt inspired to tell him, "you know what you need to do." He came to church and as he was there he cried and said, "I'm home." I’ve rarely seen someone so happy to come to church. He was there for the welfare of his soul and he felt the peace that comes from coming to church and giving his "heartfelt all." 


As of my pictures, I got the chance to go to the big city of Detroit with Elder Ricks. It was a blast and people there know who the missionaries are, that’s for sure. We also got to do service for a place called Zamans and we had a clothing drive at our church. As we were helping clean up the church, we found a basement and it was huge..... prepping for something. Other than that, God loves us and He knows what we need most. Amen
