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.

Email Update: October 10, 2011

Hey now the whole security thing wasn't that big of a deal so simmer down now :) We only knocked on one house so it wasn't exactly bold of us, haha. But we did talk to President that same day in what to do and he advised us to stay away from those areas at the moment unless we have a set appointment to go to. At first I thought this would hinder the work since, no lie, like 95% of our area is gated. But maybe the Lord thinks we are dumb and can't find that golden investigator so he is narrowing our search down a ton!

This past week was great! Finally got a hold of the Araiza family who disappeared shortly after their baptism. They are doing great and were so stoked to see us! They just had a baby girl a week ago and she is a cutie! Also we finally got a hold of a non member who bore her testimony about joining our church last fast Sunday and we set up an appointment for today so, woot, woot. Also she was at church yesterday. So things went well this week - hope and pray to keep that momentum this week. And I'll try not to get into trouble with the Po Po. I am pretty sure I can out run them on my nice orange Gary Fisher bike!

And that is so SICK that they have Blue Bell ice cream at that Provo place! I was gonna die when I eventually leave Houston because Blue Bell is so addicting, oh my gosh! My favorites are Cake and Ice cream, and a new one I found out about 2 weeks ago Dessert Trio YUM! Child that stuff put me in a coma!

Well I am gonna head out, gotta e-mail President and then play Poison (Dodge ball but more extreme) haha. Love y'all!
