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: April 2, 2012

So General Conference was pretty awesome I really enjoyed Hallstrom, D. Todd Christofferson, and Holland's talks they were really awesome. Also I don't know if you heard but my last mission president, President Hansen was called as an Area Seventy so that was really neat.

This past week was a really slow week for our weekly numbers we got 0"s across the board except for 2 member lessons. But Tobchan and I continue to work hard. We actually did a surprise visit to Araiza's from Wheatstone and told them we want to help them get to the temple to get sealed before we go home and they agreed with the idea so hopefully we can work things out. We don't have any investigators so we are constantly tracting and finding.  We have a goal to get one baptism before we go home, so we are working hard so hopefully we can get some potentials.

I didn't do a bracket this year for March Madness. Sadly I totally forgot after they started the games and I have no idea how any teams did or who won so I am in the dark on that one. Did BYU or Memphis make it into the tournament?

Rebecca I wish you the best on tryouts. Kyle how are you enjoying doing track? Hows the 100 and 400? I did the mile in track because I am not a fast sprinter like you. I just try to be like the energizer bunny.

Oh so I was talking to sister Bowcutt who is a senior missionary at the office and she arranges the flight plans and all that stuff.  She told me that I have a layover in Memphis when we fly home so I thought that was really cool since I haven't seen Memphis since the end of my Sophomore year and I miss it a lot. I love y'all thank you for your e-mails
