More pictures from Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving pictures - 11/16/18

Our very good friend, the Wilson, fed our missionary.   They used to  be in the
Provo ASL ward years ago.  

That time the Lord threw up miracles

So I apologize for not sending a weekly email last week but such is life! 

This week of course was Thanksgiving and we had 3 meals. Lots of food and we even found a new potential friend who wants to read the Book of Mormon at our 2nd dinner of the day! It was great! 

Recently the biggest things is that God is just guiding us to help lots of people. We have a huge contact list of people that we want daily contact with and so we spend quite a bit of time in church buildings across the state doing video phone calls and then working in the areas we go to. But when we do that the Lord helps us find more deaf people it's astounding! 

I have learned so much on the power of prayer and how that influences us. The Bible dictionary teaches that "Prayer is a form of work and is an appointed means for obtaining the highest of all blessings." so true! And along with that in Preach My Gospel it says that our task is to 1. Live worthily 2. Pray fervently and 3. Follow courageously the Promptings of the Holy Spirit. When we pray fervently miracles happen and the Lord guides us to become closer to Jesus Christ and help others do the same. 

Love you all!

A few pictures.....11/12/18

That time I fell asleep deaf blind interpreting

Hello,

 I was deaf blind interpreting at church on Sunday and Elder Lund and I had a crazy night on Saturday so we were super tired and I literally fell asleep while still interpreting for a deaf blind member and then I woke up and Elder Bird looked at me and was like, do you need to switch? So then I switched. It was super weird. 

But anyways this week Elder Lund and I had transfers. We didn't get transfered but we had to go take care of the zone and make sure everyone got to where they needed to go. Our zone has 16 sisters and 12 elders. It's crazy!

Then the next day we had MLC where we learned about a bunch of changes that are coming. And can I just testify that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is led by revelation and the changes that have happened and are happening are the Lord's will for His church and His children. The Lord is hastening His work and He is doing it right now right where you are so we need to hasten with Him!

Then district council on Friday and Saturday there was a baptism in the zone and it was awesome!

I love you all!

That time we got some work done

This week we were able to go to work! About halfway through the week we changed our focus to meeting all of the members that Elder Lund has not yet met and we have had some great success meeting everyone! It has been great!

We met a bunch of people and got in contact with some people we've been trying to, we look like we are going to have a great week this week with lots of great miracles! We are so excited! 

Helaman 5:10-11, teaches us about repentance, when we truly repent and we strive to improve we bring the power of the Redeemer into our life and we will be saved. I love it! We can improve and become better! Love you all!

Hello!

This week was quick! 

Summary 3 exchanges in 3 days, many baptismal invites and a cool baptism. 

Yes Letitia was baptized yesterday! We are so happy!

I took lots of pictures this week but then my SD card corrupted and just deleted almost all the pictures I have from my mission so I am sorry mom! But I will take more pictures this week and make up for it! 

I love being a missionary, this is Jesus Christ's church on earth! 

Love you all!
