Week 78: March 13, 2017

Happy Happy Monday!

          What a week, this past week was amazing.  Sister Renier got baptized and confirmed this past week and it was an amazing service.  Plus we had two investigators there that are preparing for baptism in may.  They are awesome, they are two young boys about 11 and 12 years old.  They are super exited to learn more and came to church on Sunday!  Their mom is kinda interested but really busy so we meet with her boys more than her.  Hopfully she will gain a stronger desire soon.  But they are great!  So that went really well, our finding went well this past week.  We found 4 new investigators and lots of potentials for follow up with for this next week.  So that will be great!

           Also the weather has calmed down this past weekend to a nice cool temperature.  That has been nice to see.  Because I'm afraid that the summer is going to be really hot.  But I will endure, I've done one already, so hopefully I can do another.  I'm sure I can ️️️

            So today I'm up in Brunswick Georgia for today and so I'm running out of time because we have to drive back to Kingsland.  But just know that I know that God loves us, and that he cares for us.  I see it every day in my life as he leads me along the path.  But I hope y'all have a great week!!!

Week 77: March 6, 2017

Happy happy Monday, and oh man what a week it has been!

         Anyways life up here in Kingsland Georgia is amazing, I love it here so much.  It does have a kinda small town feel but it is great.  I love it a ton, plus there are so many nice people.  His past week we had the opportunity to meet so many new people who are interested in learning more about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.  I'm so grateful for all the opportunities to share the gospel.  There was many awesome experiences but here is one of them.  Yesterday we tried to see a member of our church, but she was busy cooking dinner.  So we decided to meet a couple of our neighbors.  We felt like we should cross the street, the man we knocked into was going through a lot of trials and didn't know if he could trust God anymore.  He said he hasn't felt Gods love in a very long time.  We testified that God does love him and that God wants him to be happy.  We then shared the message of he restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  After he said he felt better and said a prayer at the end.  It was so powerful, in the prayer he asked to be loved as he try's his best to come closer to God.  And after the prayer he said he felt good and better.  He is amazing and we are going back to see him in a few days.

         But anyways there was one more thing I wanted to mention.  This past week a leader of the church mentioned how a study that he did all about the savior.  He read all 2200+ scripture references about Christ.  And he said that he gained a stronger testimony of the savior.  He is a leader of the church and already had a super strong testimony of the savior, and this study increased it.  Why wouldn't we want to do it as well?!?  So I started the study a couple days ago, and I'm happy to say that I do feel that my testimony of Jesus Christ has increased.  I feel more of his love and spirit.  So I would encourage y'all to try it as well, you can find our more about it on LDS.org  so try it out.  

Anyways hope y'all have a great week, love y'all!

Week 76: February 27, 2017

Anyways onto the week, this week has been amazing!!!!  Kingsland is so great, little town feel.  Like it is small, but I love it here so much.  I'm here with Elder Berg, he is from Elizabeth Colorado.  He is really awesome and we are getting along really well!

         One really awesome thing is I have met quite a few people here in Kingsland that have lived in Tacoma, or near Tacoma.  Because there are only 2 nuclear sub bases in the country to my knowledge (let me know if I'm wrong). One is here in Kingsland area the other is up near Seattle.  So that has been really awesome.  I've meet people who went to Mt. Tacoma high school, Franklin Pierce, and some others.  So that has been super cool! 

         So here is a miracle from this past week that I thought I'd share.  One miracles I want to share is of the power of the priesthood.  We have an investigator, Sister Renier, who is preparing for baptism on the 11th of march.  She had given up smoking and has been off for over a week, but was struggling with coffee.  We talked about it with her, she had about 1 1/2 weeks worth left.  We talked about blessings and she wanted one.  So we told her to follow any prompting she that she would receive.  So we blessed her, right after the blessing she said she felt good, really good.  She got up grabbed her coffee mix walked to the trash and dumped it all in there!  Is was so amazing, after she did she said that she felt cleaner and really felt the spirit!  She is so amazing!

Anyways hope y'all have a great week and talk to y'all later!!!
