We ALL Need The Temple.

Howdy yall! It was another great week in the service of the lord! Let's just say this week was a lot better! I feel like I was able to have a lot of powerful spiritual momentum! Thanks to the temple! I can definitely see why the prophet always tells us to go to the temple because it truly is the lords house! And I'm so thankful for it. I've been doinf good but I just needed the temple this week! I wish I could go every week haha! It was just so peaceful and I found a crazy answer to a question I didn't know I had! Very sacred and very awesome!


But we had lots of success this week testifying of the gospel! So many people here don't wanna hear what we have to say. So when we run into like 1 person who is kind enough to hear us out it can totally change our whole week!! So it can be difficult when you go weeks without successfully sharing what you know can change quite literally every single life that comes across our path. But we endure! 


Also this week I had an exchange with my favorite elder in the mission! Like not even lying this is my favorite elder! His name is Elder Dickerson and he got a special place in my heart for sure! We had a fire day...helped a family move and went to chili's!!!! Who doesn't love chili's?! Anyways I love that elder and he cracks me up! 


I came across some great scriptures this week that I read like a million times because of how deep it sunk into my heart. In D&C ch 6 it says "22 Verily, verily, I say unto you, if you desire a further witness, cast your mind upon the night that you cried unto me in your heart, that you might know concerning the truth of these things. 23 Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter? What greater witness can you have than from God?" 


I literally never heard of this scripture till i came across it this week. And it sank deep about the times in my life I had serious questions or if I was struggling with my testimony. The thing that saved my testimony was having the rememberence of times I felt the spirit and felt the peace and felt for myself the truth of the gospel. I invite you all to remember a time you prayed and cried out to your father in heaven and felt that peace and felt the spirit confirm to you that he was there! Can't tell you how many times I just hum or sing in my head the children's Hymn 'a child's prayer' because of how pure that song is and how it invites virtue and the spirit into my thoughts! Knowing we are children of a loving heavenly father can quite literally change how we talk to others and how we see ourselves!


 I love you all and I'm so glad that I know that I am loved by a perfect father in heaven! Miss you all and please send me an email! Would love to hear from yall!

Hey Everyone! Just checking back in after an amazing weekend of REVELATION! I love General Conference and the inspiring messages! I hope you were all able to tune in at some point and if you couldn't watch it watch it rn! The prophets voice is so powerful! After hearing his address there was a little bit of a sense that the second coming of christ is coming A LOT sooner than we may think! But also big news! A NEW TEMPLE IN QUEEN CREEK! I literally called it! Great to see the old hometown getting a house of the lord!  Besides conference this week was a good one! We had zone conference and it was focused on using the scriptures while teaching the doctrine of christ! So many scriptures that I wrote down!! Also this week in Oakland has been HOTTT. it's been getting up to 100 degrees in the bay which is unusual here. Usually I wouldn't complain. Bc I'm an AZ kid but when you live in the top apartment with no AC it's a bummer!  Anyways a crazy miracle is our new friend Co...

New Year New Elder

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!  This week was so fast but it was a good one lots of miracles! A cool miracle was we met an innactive member earlier this week and we just had dinner with her tonight and gave her a blessing and she's coming to church this week! It was a miracle because we were tracting and happened to knock on her door she was so happy to see us and almost started crying! Just goes to show the lord truly guides us missionaries!  Our friend Christopher didn't end up getting baptized this weekend. Everything is OK though he is still going to get baptized just needs more time understanding things and we are having daily contacts with him to help him! He's just come so far from where he used to be and he's going to continue to grow because that's one of the blessings that comes from the atonement and something that can truly change us when we use it. Only the purest joys can come through sincere repentance! I just love Christopher let's all pray I don't...
