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! So a lot of craziness happened this Sunday. The ward split and Elder Sleet and I are now covering the Bridgeland and Wheatstone ward. The Bishoprics were exciting and there are a lot of good men in charge, a lot of miracles will happen. President Pingree also attended and was actually asked to bear his testimony. It was really awesome so hear him bear witness of Christ and have our members see how inspired he is. It was also neat to see the prophesy in Daniel chapter 2 go into effect -seeing the ward split - it's just another witness that this is Christ's Church and it is growing world wide. Especially here in Texas. Where we live used to be just a bunch of rice farms now look at it. It's just miraculous!

I am glad y'all enjoyed pioneer day.  Sounded fun with fireworks and seeing the Tilley's.

I am so glad that they got my thank you cards it took a long time to write all of those (ha ha) but it was definitely worth it and I especially needed them to know that.

Well we just had our district on Saturday come to our area and we blitzed it.  This means they all tracted in our area and it brought about great success with 60 ITL's, 7 other lessons, and a lot of potentials so I pray and hope that Elder Sleet and I can find success with this burst of effort. Also on Sunday Elder Sleet's dad came to our church to visit.  He got permission from President Pingree since he would be down here for a business trip. So he was super trunky and so was I (ha ha) and he might take us out for dinner tonight so more trunkyness ahead (ha ha).

Hey I am still waiting on those ukulele tabs JJ! Still love ya :)

Today we played tennis this morning and Tobchan came up to play so it was good to see him and catch up with him.   We will also played volleyball today too. I also went to a Luau on Saturday and the poly's put on an amazing show. But I think I had a Revelation during that show I think I want to marry a poly girl so bad (ha ha).  I love their tradition and everything about them.  It just might be a phase or something (ha ha). Any who, that's all I got.  Peace out with love!
