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: January 17, 2012

I just hit 18 months and on the mission when you have 6 months left your are suppose to do whats called "6 months to sexy". Since you know you get all fat and flab (especially in Texas) on the mission, so you're suppose to make that push to get back into shape for when you go home..... yeah so far, not so good for me. Hopefully that will turn around. I need to start cutting down at member dinners but it's so hard since they go all with food and expect you to not leave any left overs! 

We just got a new investigator that seems promising. Jason and Amanda again didn't come to church it's so sad to always be anxious and looking for them every Sunday but to not see them in the end. Kinda depressing but, oh well, that's agency for ya. Thankfully the Texans lost their game and are now out of the playoffs! Nothing against them but like I said, they hinder the work. But it is still bad with the NFL playoffs still around because football runs this place. Places shut down for this stuff, not cool

Well transfers are around the corner. Tobchan and I have talked to President so we could be companions again up in College Station., hopefully that works out.

I love y'all take care now :)
