My Testimony

My Testimony:
I know that the Atonement is real and that we can all enjoy the cleansing power that it provides. I am grateful for my Savior for performing the Atonement so that I can return to my Father in Heaven. I am grateful for missionary service. I am thankful that missionaries world-wide have the opportunity to bring the fullest blessings of the Atonement to faithful children of God. I know that the Bible and The Book of Mormon are inspired scriptures and are here for our behalf. I owe everything to all of those prophets of old that loved us so much and desired so much for our salvation to write down the words on how we can be saved. We are literally children of a loving Heavenly Father and He wants us to return to Him. I know that Jesus is the Christ. And I love the joy the gospel brings with the knowledge that we can be together with our families for all eternity.

Answers to our Letters

Here is some info sent to answer some of the questions we had sent in our family letter(s) to him:

To Deanna:
Houston is beautiful! But the other day the humidity was so bad! As soon as I opened the door it punched me in the face and you have to cut the air to spit. But it's been perfect weather so far. It's been 70's for most of the time. It has stormed quite a bit here.
The ward here is about average. They have a good size youth group here.
Tonight I was fed spaghetti. The night before a club sandwich, um potato soup, more pasta. Nothing crazy yet.
I took pictures of my apartment. Oh, I need to take pictures of our car too but not today becuase I dented the front bumper - oops!

To Rebecca:
The weather has been perfect these past couple of days. Today it's 70 outside with now wind so basically awesome.
My meals have been great! They all have been delicious. The only thing that I have to report on eating something weird...it was a drink. It was some crazy spearmint drink. It was so nasty. I drank about half of the glass but it's okay this member fed us amazing food.
I love the ward I am serving in because members are giving us a lot of referrals. They are trying really hard to help us and they are fun and funny. They feed us every night so the Bear Creek 1st Ward is definitely awesome!
