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 I got transferred. I am no longer in the Magnolia 2 area. I got transferred to White Oak / Sam Houston 2. I am back in the Cypress Zone and my area borders my old area of Wheatstone. I was quite suprised to get moved. I have never been in a area so short as Magnolia 2. I was there for only two transfers. But in my new area I cover two wards: White Oak, which is a family ward and Sam Houston 2, which is a singles ward. My companion is Elder Kelly, he is from Las Vegas and he has been out for three transfers and I am his second companion. We have a lot of promising investigators, two of which have a baptismal date in February and I met them both and they are definitely prepared.

 I don't know my address. But apparently we are changing apartments here soon so just stick to the mission address for now I guess. Oh also this past week with transfers I said goodbye to my MTC district Elders: Esplin, Batt, Scoresby, Keliipuleole, and Maughan. Along with my good friend Hermana Martinez. It was very hard to say goodbye to them but this is the way it's suppose to be and they are a great group that will do great things. And I am very blessed that I had the opportunity to serve with them and have gotten to be their friends. I really liked the chart y'all did for Rebecca and I really enjoyed reading Grandma Wright's testimony that was really neat and special. I would love to have one of those.

That's all I can think of. I love y'all
