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! 
Tell Dal Pal to keep his head up and tell him we are gonna kick it when I get home.
 
Thanks Dad for your words about me running cross country. I actually tie in a lot of those running experiences when I am giving a lesson. Running cross country surprisingly gave me an outlook on life and spirituality like I have never experienced and I totally didn't expect that coming out. Good thing I joined cross country for a girl huh ;) 

Sorry to hear about Brother Tew but sounds like he was ready and knew what God wanted for him.
I don't have much to report this week except we keep tracting, visiting less actives, and members. I am definitely getting my tan on my bike in this Houston weather. Summer is definitely around the corner. But it seems like the relationship between the ward and the missionaries is kinda distant and I found out that the last missionaries didn't make some wise decisions that the ward found out so it is pretty distant, but turns out it has gotten better over the past couple of months. So Tobchan and I are just gonna keep trying to let the ward know that we are here for them and want to serve them. Because having a friendship with the members is so important! It makes or breaks an area.
That's all I got for now. 

Tell Deanna sorry I haven't written her back yet. I love y'all!
