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.

Hey family had a miracle week!

Our investigator Kim accepted her baptismal date for the 27th and she said she is excited for it! Then the biggest miracle this week was with our new investigator Alex Banks.  o going back to a year ago when I was first here in Bear Creek, Elder Conrad and I would visit with this 19 year old because his mom is a inactive member of the church and he and his sister are not baptized so we taught him a couple of times. Alex was never interested and he was breaking commandments so eventually we stopped going over.  Now fast forward to this week, Alex had something in his life where he wanted to change so he wants to change and do everything he can to become a member of this church! We met with him 4 times this week and we took him on a church tour and he loved it and we gave him a baptismal date for April 9th but we might move that forward if we keep meeting him on a regular basis like we are now!

Hope all is well :)
