Week 11: Grandmas and Spirit Animals

October 24, 2016

This week was so great! I love being a missionary! We had a lot of fun being out and working hard to preach the gospel. We saw a lot of miracles and I gain a stronger testimony each week that this is the Lord's gospel and church. 

It has also been a very humbling week. I have been praying to learn how I can be a better missionary and man the Lord helped me realize a lot of things I could be doing more effectively. It is amazing that the Lord can work with such imperfect people. 

One miracle we saw that made me so happy to see was the transformation that Nathan has gone through. He got a suit and he let me cut his hair and he looks like a new person! I forgot to get a picture but it is amazing what the gospel can do to people. The ward is now helping him on the job search. 

We have a lot of people that are committed to baptism right now but are struggling to make it to church and to keep their commitments. I have a lot of fun teaching them though and am praying for them to be converted to the Lord. 

We had the opportunity to do a lot of service this week for members and less actives. I love serving the people of Colorado and have felt so much charity for them as I have served them. I am grateful to be here and that I have the opportunity to serve.

My testimony of Christ and this gospel has grown so much. This really is the Lord's work and I have a strong testimony that when you are trying your hardest, the Lord can use you as an instrument in His hands. 

The spirit is so real. We were out with a member and had a lesson fall through so we decided to stop by an investigators house that is struggling to know if the gospel is right for her. When we got there she said that that day she had prayed the God would help her and uplift her and said she knew we would be over that day. She has also been struggling to read the Book of Mormon so we read a chapter with her and all of us really felt the spirit. She committed to read a chapter a day. It is so cool to see the Lord work!

Anyways I hope everyone is having as much fun back home as I am having here! I love you all!

Love,

This a picture of me trying to sneak up on a bald eagle we saw so I could pet him. I then realized he was a statue....haha just kidding. But the picture of me and that lady is Sister Firedancer. she is this super Native American woman who has visited like 400 reservations. She gave me my spirit animal a couple weeks ago and I'm a beaver... haha, did not expect that but she is one of my favorite ladies here. its like I am collecting grandmas.

Feeling like he's back at home
