Good Day to my wonderful Family!

Well just another happy,happy,happy day here in sedalia. We have been working hard in this inclement weather cause we haven't had a car so we have been walking in this -6 plus a windchill makes it feel like -30 so its kinda nippy haha! But the lord blesses us after the trial of our faith! And let me tell you my faith has been tested a lot this last week and the lord has blessed me to go on, that i got on my knees when i thought i couldn't go any further and he comforted me! Told me to cowboy up and get to work that there are people here that still need my help and i need to teach them the restored gospel and help them along their path.

Well We moved like i said its in the middle of town so were not country boys no more haha at least we don't live in the middle of nowhere. We live in a nice apartment third floor two bedroom huge kitchen and it has really been a blessing living here so much easier to fulfill our purpose as missionaries when we have people to teach living right next to us haha! My dinner with hillary was great she is a awesome person and loves you so much we talked about whats been going on and just life in general! Well have fun flying i hate flying and you will just love getting up at 430 haha well have a great time! 

Its crazy cold like you said i had to buy a blanket last week cause our apt gets cold so that would be nice to put money on my card I'm running low. Um i love this gospel so much and being able to find those people that it could bless their lives so much if they let it in they just need a loving person to help them along their path. And guess what i am trying to be that person for them that we want to baptize them but my real goal is to see them as life long members and going to the temple to be sealed as a family for time and all eternity!

I love you and stay warm even though there is no snow there!

Well Good Morning My Beautiful Family,

 

Just another happy Fine day here in sedalia, we are having the best time being out here being able to visit so many people and teaching them that Jesus Christ loves them and that we have the knowledge to help them along there path back to live with him.

 

Another great thing us missionaries love to share is the message of forever families that our relationship as families doesn't end here in this mortal life but just begins our long marvelous journey of life. Along with that the Atonement makes this all possible through Christs sacrifice that he loves us so much that he suffered for us and has felt all of the agony and the sadness for us all of the pain that we might overcome physical and spiritual death. How Great is our knowledge when we can share this great news with everyone we meet that it will bless your life if you allow it to.

 

SO i have to say i hate moving! We moved into a great two bedroom apartment in middle of town its on the third floor its great other than trying to move into it was not fun! But with the help of me and my companion we got'r dun! We are so blessed to be missionaries at this time and being able to teach gods children about his mortal ministry, and that that same church is restored on the earth today and is ran by god through a living day prophet is such a blessing.

 

I Challenge all of you that have nonmember friends to share the gospel to them! And to let you know that I KNOW this church is gods Church and that Thomas S Monson is his living day Prophet at this time, And that i love the knowledge we have about the Atonement it blesses us so much we cannot explain. I leave you these things in the name Of Jesus Christ Amen.

 

I love ya'll stay safe and remember Our Father in Heaven loves you!

Dear Family,

So just another happy day here in sedalia, we have been working hard this last week other than the two snow days we had. One of the snow days we were not allowed to go outside we had to stay in the apartment and be productive having phone lessons with our investigators. It really isn't as bad as it sounds i love talking to them anyway so it was amazing. I think there are too many missionaries that dont know how to drive on snow and ice and its too much liability its funny haha i love the roads when they're a little slick makes me slow down and enjoy my surroundings! 

Yes Logan Paige Holman had her baptism and its so amazing i had the opportunity to give her the gift of the holy ghost and it was such a blessing to me as it was to her and i feel like i can have more spiritual truths when we live ever so closely with the chosen elect of god! SO her boyfriend Matthew smith baptized her and he is from Branson.

Information about christmas i love the christmas season and the blessings associated with it. Remember Jesus Christ the reason for the season! This christmas is going to be a whole lot different in instance we are centering it on the work of salvation and centering it on our investigators and not on the presents, and ourselves so we opened the presents! 

Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH i love everything you sent including the shoes are great! Thank you Sonnett & Levi for the journal and shannon & bj for the anti mugging knife haha. Thank you Cheyenne for the Jelly Bellys i shared them with my district at our meeting they were amazing! We love christmas and we love our families that is what I'm thankful for the most this season i would have been perfectly ok with the pictures they made me break down into tears never thought i would cry when i see my beautiful family and that they are doing great!WE WILL BE SKYPEING YOU HOPEFULLY AT 1230 or 1 its whenever my district meeting is over i will be skyping you but i will call you before!

Well i want all of Ya'll to know that i love you and care so much for you that Jesus Christ is the reason for the season and find someone that needs him most this year and share his love with them!

Love

Dear Family,

Well This week has been one of miracles just a bunch of people have been prepared to hear our message and they are Totally excited to get baptized! We had a wonderful baptizm on friday she was so beautiful going into the waters of baptism and coming back out of the water its a tear jerker but i made it through. I will have the amazing opportunity to give her the gift of the holy ghost on this Sunday and i know that it will bless her life so much as long as she keeps the sacred covenants at her baptism.

 Other news is that we have had a wonderful week of finding new investigators and we have had so much success in finding gods chosen people he has prepared to hear his message this week we were talking to the spanish elders here in sedalia and they told us they were walking down the street when this lady and her daughter stopped them on the side of the road and asked them if they were mormon missionaries they told them Well yes we are. The mother and daughter said we would love to hear more about your message.

 So the spanish elders turned them over to us we went over last night at 8 and taught them the restoration and it was one of the most spiritual lessons i have had on my missions they were wanting more and more and we gave everything we knew to them invited both of them to be baptized and they said EXACTLY WHAT I WANT! I was so happy and that the lord blesses us in different ways when we stay obedient to his commandments he blesses us so much that we cant contain it all!

So we wont be moving for at least till after christmas and that you can send all of the packages to the house that would be just fine! This christmas is going to be a little bit bluer that  i cant be with you but i know that you will be taken care of by the power of the all mighty i know! So i am excited to hear from you and to hear how everything is going back in wonderful utah!

love you
