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: November 28, 2011

Okay weekly update: so on Wednesday the mission got together and watched "17 Miracles" and man that movie is way good! It is truely amazing the faith the pioneers had in the midst of what seemed like an impossible task. I hope we can some how get a copy of that.   I would love to watch it again.

Then on Thanksgiving we had the famous turkey bowl and that was really fun.  No injuries in our football game, so that was a blessing. Then a part-member family in our ward signed up to have us for dinner and their names are the Holomons. They have a huge house! We played Scrabble and Boggle then helped make muddy buddies :) followed by an awesome feast! I am so greatful for everything Sister Holomon did because she did it all by herself! 

On Sunday Jason, Amanda, Lance, and Lana all came to church! Finally! They also stayed all three hours and enjoyed it. Later on Sunday we went over and taught the Word of Wisdom and they took it in really well.  They do want to get baptized it will just take some time with their addictions; so they are basically dunked just not wet.....yet anyway. 

Um, what do I want for my birthday or Christmas..... um, I don't need anything, I am good on that end. I would like some muddy buddies (haha). Is there anything I can do for y'all for Christmas? Well besides call of course :p 

Alright I love y'all thanks for all the help! Especially you Mom, thanks for helping me with my college stuff!
