Hello Everyone!

I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving. Our friend Mel invited us over for fried tacos! Very different for Thanksgiving, but they were really good.

We met a few people this week who are so genuine and so hungry spiritually. It reminded me of the scripture (D&C 123:12-13) that says "they are kept from the truth because they know not where to find it" and that we should "wear out our lives in bringing to light all hidden things of darkness, wherin we know them; and they are truly manifest from heaven." One of these, Dan, has been seeking. As we were able to share with him the message that Jesus Christ's gospel has been restored to the earth through living prophets, and as he learned in church yesterday, his countenance changed. He said it was refreshing to hear that after this life those who have passed away without the opportunity will have the opportunity to accept the Savior's Atonement. Amazing. I love seeing people taste the fruit of the gospel for the first time.

We had a pretty good week as far as teaching goes. Thursday was a little slow, but Saturday was fantastic! We were busy all day. Monday we had a zone meeting.

We are so excited for #LIGHTtheWORLD ! It's a Christmas advent calendar, but instead of taking out a little chocolate (or whatever), there will be a world wide opportunity to serve for the first 25 days in December. (Example: Jesus fed the hungry, so can you! Invite a neighbor to dinner or donate to a food bank). It's going to be a great way to reach out to others and feel the Spirit of Christ this Christmas. The calendar is on mormon.org if you want to do it with me!

Have a great week!

Here are some pictures from cake with Lymariz, Alberto, and Tristin. Tristin was being funny so we didn't all look at the same time...

Dwight finally made it to church! He went consistently in NY but it was harder coming down here. Some members had us and him over for dinner.

I gave a talk about the gospel of Jesus Christ in Sacrament meeting faith, repentance, baptism, receiving the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end).

Hello Everyone!

We had a pretty great week! A few highlights:

I have been thinking this week a lot about our zone conference last week, which inspired me to want to be a more consecrated follower of Jesus Christ. A favorite scripture as I have been reviewing is Alma 42:27. Basically, we will always have the choice to follow and will never be forced. 

This week we have been extra grateful for the cooler weather as our AC has been out. Thankfully, our fans and windows work great :)

I turned 20 yesterday! We are going to go have a birthday treat with Lymariz today. Thank you to everyone who sent birthday wishes and notes. I felt loved. 

More importantly... Lorraine was confirmed yesterday (and baptized Saturday)! She has worked so hard to be ready to make that promise with God. It was amazing to be there with her, and especially to feel the Spirit as she was given the Gift of the Holy Ghost. She has been so happy!

I have been thinking lately about the role of righteous examples. Thank you to each of you for the positive influence you have had on my life. Keep making a difference for others!

Love,
