Hey y'all,
Good to see y'all smiling today! And if you're not yet... well, take a moment and remind yourself that you're amazing.... and that you're loved... because I love you! God loves you! Christ loves you! There's ALWAYS going to be someone there for you who loves you. I promise.
So things are going good... the work is moving really accelerating. I can testify of that. The amazing missionaries out here... they're finding, teaching and baptizing so many amazing families. So blessed and humbled to be here with so many incredible souls... and I'm learning so much. Quick notes.... if you haven't lately, try doing something fun with your family (or at least someone in your family if you're spread out... even if its just a phone call!). Families are the Gospel... families are so important and such a blessing in our lives... take the time to express your love and support to each other. Even if its just a small act or mention...
So here's a story (a quick one... again sorry for the time constraint! Also, Kaylee Brown... you're awesome! Love y'all Davis High Darts!).... we were invited yesterday by President Harding to find a family to teach and invite to be baptized (specifically to be baptized in the month of August.) by the end of the night. It was daunting invitation at first... and we had our doubts and even fears about failing to accomplish that expectation... but we stopped and thought "Hey, this is the Lords work!!! This is His will... He wants to find families and bring them to be a part of the family of Christ... why be afraid? Why doubt?"... and we went forward in full faith that we'd find a family. But we knew it wouldn't just happen... we knew we had to do our part... so we committed to be EXACTLY obedient... we committed to WORK DILIGENTLY... and to pray like we've never prayed before. We knew that adversary was (and has been) stepping up his game, so we knew we had to step ours up as well... so we went out and did everything we could... but most importantly, we prayed... we prayed like crazy! We probably prayed 2 or 3 dozen times throughout the day... but we didn't just do it to do it... we made sure to put our hearts and souls into every prayer... and long story short... at the very end of the day... when the last hours of the day were about to tick away... He led us to an amazing family. I can testify to each of you... that through faith, obedience and diligence... and prayer... real prayer that has our hearts, souls and minds behind it... I testify that miracles will happen. He will answer your prayers. Never hesitate to pray. There is real power behind prayer. I promise. I pray each of you have a blessed day. We love you! God and Christ love you! I invite each of you to pray today and every day!
