Another great week, but a long one. Had another week of blessings for our  area. We had a friend who was struggling with the Word of Wisdom and  when we bore testimony and read the promised blessings of the word of  wisdom the spirit was strong to bear witness it was true. These are the  blessing that come from following it.  



Doctrine and Covenants 89: 

18. And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in  obedience to the commandments, shall receive health in their navel and  marrow to their bones;  

19. And shall find wisdom and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden  treasures;  

20. And shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint. 



As I've tried to study more promised blessings it’s wild to me how many  there actually are. It reminds me of what was mentioned in General  Conference about how the Lord wants to bless us as much as possible,  we just need to do our part! The commandments are not restrictions. I  know there is no better way to live our life than to do what God asks, he  wants what is best for us in everything we do. It’s that Simple! How  grateful I am to know that Heavenly Father loves us so much. 



As of news, transfers are this week and I am supposed to train a Visa  Waiter. I’m not sure where his original assignment is, but I'm excited to get  the opportunity to train again. I am most likely going to stay in Dearborn,  which is great for me because this past transfer there has been a lot of  work put into the area and I am starting to see the fruits of it.  



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...
