Yellow! How's it going?

This week was fast. We are seeing a lot of people pop out of no where and are really Elect which is awesome. We have our Friend Richard who said he had already been baptized so we said we are not discrediting your desire to be baptized but we do believe we are the only church with the Authority to baptize. So he asks how do you know if they hold the proper authority and we said you pray about it and also pray about the Book of Mormon upon which everything we talk about stands upon. He was like okay I will pray about it. I was also thinking how lightly we can sometimes take the Gospel I mean wake up we have a Living Prophet, with living apostles, with Modern day revelation. It is a miracle to live in these last days! I just love it so much! Also Richard came to church!

We went and had a lesson with a guy named John and he did a 180 from the opposite of a Christian to being a Christian after he had a close encounter with God and he wants to come to know God because he never has gone down this path before.

I did an interview for a mom and Daughter who wanted to get baptized and they were both 5 foot and the mom said "yea were all fun sized" they both had sweet spirits ot wqs great. Also that whole thing about growing a foot or two before your mission yea it's a lie. It also didn't happen on the mission haha

One of the scriptures that I have come to love over my mission is 1 Nephi 19:9 it says "9 And the world, because of their iniquity, shall judge him to be a thing of naught; wherefore they scourge him, and he suffereth it; and they smite him, and he suffereth it. Yea, they spit upon him, and he suffereth it, because of his loving kindness and his long-suffering towards the children of men." I turn to this scripture anytime life gets hard, because it will, and it does. I know we have a Savior who died for us and loves us.

Also if no one told you today Jesus loves you!

Also Just to let you all know I have been doing My Plan talking about Dating and Marriage so I coming for you world! haha
