Where You Want Me to Go: Just Keep Swimming! January 22. 2018

HIGHLIGHTS

1. Honestly one of my highlights is Theresa is in Florida, and she sent me a video of the ocean. Ugh, sure made me homesick, I sure love the ocean! Humor me guys haha!
2. We once again had 5 INVESTIGATORS AT CHURCH. THE REIDS FINALLY CAME!!! I've been with them from the very beginning, heck I was one who found them and has been just incredible to watch them come full circle. They really loved church and are looking forward to coming again. God is soooooooooo good!
3. We had a super awesome lesson with one of our investigators, Denny, who has been just cruising through the book of mormon. He the husband of one of our very active members. His wife told us afterwards that his heart has softened tremendously lately and that he even went to church in Jamestown with her! So awesome
4. Today we met with our investigators named Chelsea who we haven't seen in forever. She has been going through a lot and it was just such a blessing to be able to use the gospel on the spirit to know how to comfort and counsel her. She's awesome
5. We met with a lady named Anne, who we haven't been able to see ein a while, who was just thrilled to see us! We were actually just going by to see if she was interested, and it turns out in the time we've had apart she's had a lot of faith building experiences that have made her want to know more about our faith! God was definitely working with her. Some weeks ago we met a lady named Cindy who is way interested in the gospel, but has had some really crazy and unexpected things happen. We went by this week because we had a set appointment with her, but she had forgot about it. We understood, of course, and asked if we could do anything for her and she just burst into tears because she was thankful that we were concerned for her. So we stood on a complete strangers deck and gave said stranger nice big hugs and reminded her she was loved. This is what I love about what I do. I have the blessing everyday to wake up and get to devote every minute of my day to being a representative of Jesus Christ. I get to stand in for him when it comes to healing the spiritually broken, teaching those who are lost, serving those less fortunate, and loving the lonely, just like Christ would if he were on the earth. While what he did on this earth is far more miraculous than anything I do, I am so blessed he has given me some time to taste of some of his goodness and joy by proving for others in his place. I hope we all will look to how we can become more like Jesus christ so we can be partakers of his blessings and of his joy. I love you all! This week is transfers and I will probably be leaving. I have loved Warren, but I'm thrilled for the adventures that await!
