Week #51 - Service

Monday, January 11, 2021

All the sisters in our zone went to watch sunrise at the 

Sand Dunes where they filled Star Wars!

Happy Monday everybody!! 

This week has been another amazing week here in Yuma AZ. I say it every werk, but I love it here and being a missionary. It truly is the most important work here on earth. Sooooo here's some crazy stuff that happened this week...

We went over to our Elders Quorum presidents house in the YSA and taught our friend Jordan. He's soooo cool. We finished talking about Gods plan with him today. But last time, we talked about my favorite thing ever with him: the Atonement of Jesus Christ. And we asked Jordan if he was able to recognize how Jesus helped him the last week, and he told us that he was able to turn to Christ and feel His love so much this past week. It was awesome. We brought up baptism, and Jordan told us he wants to keep reading the Book of Mormon to gain a better testimony. MIRACLES!!

Crazy antics of two YSA members both named Michael;

They tried to scare us - didn't work.

Here's some craziness from the week. Our friend Edwin who is the beesssttt got transferred to Flagstaff :( so we sadly had to say bye, but he still wants to be taught by missionaries so we know the missionaries down in Flagstaff our LUCKYYYY!! But he did come and say goodbye to us, and brought us our Christmas presents... they are a snuggie type blanket poncho thing. It's super comfy and was super random hahaha. But he's gonna do good down in Flagstaff.

Mark is doing awesome!!! We were able to have another lesson with him last week, and he was also able to recieve the priesthood this week!! 

Funny story: This week for our FHE activity, we played chair soccer. Which is where you try to keep your chair safe from the soccer ball. It was so fun!! But I got into it. Like big time hahaha. I was running after the ball, and a YSA member named Jonathan was too and he tripped me and I totally WIPED OUT! I layed on the floor for a second and thought i was dead for a second... but I wasn't, I was fine. And I'm fine now hahaha. But it was funny, and a good turn out for FHE! 

We've been doing a lot of service lately. We went over to one of our ward missionaries home to their orange trees in their backyard and they gave us buckets full of oranges. It was so fun! We also have been going to the food bank each week and we meet all the national guard there. It's also been lots fun!!

I was able to finish the Book of Mormon again this week, and each time I finish I gain a stronger testimony and witness that the Church is so true. Even though I've already gained a witness, I still prayed and asked my Father in Heaven if the Book of Mormon is true. I love the promise it gives us at the end of the Book of Mormon in Moroni 10:5 - "And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things." 

I invite all of you to pray to know!! 😁😁
