Hey y’all!

This week was my last week of transfer #6. Change is good but stressful too. It takes forever to get used to new areas, new companions, and new weather; although here in Snowflake it is cool and beautiful!

We have continued teaching many good families here in the area. We had 5 people come to church on Sunday this past week. It was amazing to see how these young people are deciding to change their lives. This is what we should be doing too.  Changes can take place all the time and hopefully for the better.  For those who are desirous to change, the Book of Mormon is the perfect place to start:

In Alma 34:18-26  we read:

“Cry unto Him for mercy

Humble yourselves

Cry unto Him in your fields, over all your flocks

Cry unto Him against your enemies

Cry unto Him against the devil

Cry unto Him over the crops of your fields

Pour out your souls in your closets and your secret places and in your wilderness.”

And if you want to change even more then the Lord has more counsel for us:

Alma 34:28:

Do not turn away the needy or the naked

Visit the sick and the afflicted

Impart of your substance

“For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors.” Alma 34:32

It’s awesome to know that there is a God who loves us so much that He sent His Son Jesus Christ to be our example and to help us change from the inside out.

“The Lord works from the inside out.  The world works from the outside in.  The world would take the people out of the slums.  Christ would take the slums out of people, and then they would take themselves out of the slums.  The world would mold men by changing their environment.  Christ changes men, who then change their environment.  The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature.” (Ezra Taft Benson)

I continue to be grateful for the experiences I have every day that help me see how I can change for the best. Changes take place all the time.

Thank you all for the continued love and support you have shown me.

I love and care for you all.

Good luck this week and talk soon!✌️ ❤️ 😊 😃
