Hello everyone!
How are you? :)
I know that I say that a lot, that "Life is good", but it's true! Life is so good and wonderful and happy because of the gospel:)
This week went by so fast- I can't believe how fast the time is going now here on the mission. I don't like this haha!!
I don't really know what to say...it's kind of funny, the longer I'm out on the mission, the shorter my emails are getting. But I know that the gospel is true, and that this Church is true. I'm so grateful for the things we know about our Heavenly Father and repentance and just everything...we are so blessed:)
Our relationships with the ward and our investigators have grown a lot this week- I love them all so much and I'm so happy for them all. It's so neat to see their testimonies growing, and something I was really reminded of this week is that our purpose is to help people come unto Christ...the Church with all its programs and members and opportunities are beautiful, but the true purpose of the gospel is for us to become closer to our Savior and Heavenly Father. Sometimes it's hard for me as a missionary to see people reject the gospel or to not stand true to what they have come to know is true, but we just do our best I guess: pray for them and teach, and hopefully they will make the right choice. But I know that no matter what other people choose (and this applies to everyone, not just missionaries), that we can control OUR choices and how close we are to our Savior. Something that just hit me right now, and that every choice we make will either make us closer to Him or distance ourselves from Him. What do we want? What do YOU want?
Come unto Christ. There's no other way. Make the right choices. He loves you so much and wants you to come home to Him.
I love you all and I know the gospel is true and that Christ loves us so so so much!! :)
Be happy and keep being awesome! :)
