"Fear Is a Liar" 11-17-2025

Wow I love each and every single one of yall so much I hope yall had a great week! I have been thinking of ways to describe this last week I had and I am having difficulty doing so haha. It WAS SO CRAZY! I feel forever grateful and blessed to be here on my mission right now serving in the capacity I am serving in! I am changed through the Atonement Of Jesus Christ..Everyday I am in awe of His power Mercy Love and Grace. I have learned incredible things on my mission and hope to apply them in my life. My assignment as Office Elder Is helping me to recognize my growth and conversion. I am becoming a Delegating Machine!!! Monday was a hard day for me.We did service on our pday which was great , but I felt a little sick and sad for whatever reason. I would say I am so blessed right now I have such a fun loving companion whom I was good friends with that I served around about a year ago. I felt prompted and opened up about some things and basically just ranted for a minute and He was able to listen and Love me. For that I am grateful! Tuesday was absolutely crazy! We had district council and it was amazing and then we had a crazy day at the office! We are reorganizing the whole things moving shelves and desks getting bikes situated. Sometimes I don't know how to describe the office life in this mission, it's just unique! We still working hard though, finding that balance and fulfilling our missionary purpose! I would like to highlight how powerful Jesus Christ's infinite Atonement truly is. This is a sacred topic and I hope to do Justice by highlighting the Love, Mercy, and Hope that can immediately flow into our lives as long as we are truly Penitente Humble seekers of Happiness looking to Change. Change is a daily occurrence for better or for worse depending on how we live. Positive Change comes into our lives as we access the Atonement of Jesus Christ daily His light will illuminate our souls, broaden our vision and bring a perfect brightness of Hope into our lives. Negative change comes as we sin, self deprecate ourselves, choose fear, and follow the natural man among many other things. God sees the end from the beginning and part of the Purpose of the Atonement of Christ is to guide us through this mortal Journey and bring about a lasting change in our hearts and in our nature. On my mission my heart breaks almost daily leaving room for the Atonement of Christ to change me. He takes my heart and makes me a new man. He gives me greater hope, greater charity, greater knowledge, and greater wisdom. Wednesday I had a powerful experience where as I prayed and prayed and prayed and gained courage and strength to overcome a fear I have had for a while, one that was hard to put on the altar of sacrifice, I was finally able to do so. To encompass the power and divinity of Gods perfect plan and timing for us. Just this last week my bishop sent me a bracelet with one of my favorite scriptures one it 2nd Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. After this experience I Had on a random Wednesday during the a.m. in the apartment the spirit was so strong and I knew Jesus Christ Atoned not only for our sins and our weaknesses but for our fears and anxieties and has our best interest in mind and will always help us "Become" One of my favorite songs came on that our mission allows called Fear Is A Liar by Zach Williams came on and It only added to that spirit I was already feeling. I had full faith in confidence as I prayed just as Joseph Smith in 1823 that He and I would receive a Heavenly Manifestation. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are eager and willing to help us. The promise that They Will come to us applies every second and every day in our lives if we seek Them as wise men of old. Thursday we had president Interviews and for once I didn't know what I wanted to talk about. He didn't either haha. He and I Both are surprised I am in the office but God needs me here. Throughout my mission and life I have always felt apprehensive about stepping forward to greatness, almost feeling undeserving or unable to overcome finding myself in front of roadblock after roadblock. He asked me the most inspired question and just asked me this.... "Have you ever felt closer to Heaven before than you have now"? I paused, reflected, saw my growth and said... no i'm not sure I have? In short what I learned from the spirit is that if we ever feel close to Heaven, then there should be nothing in our past or future that could ever prevent us from stepping forward. How profound is that? It all ties back to the Atonement Of The Lord Jesus Christ making everything and anything possible paving a path for us in the eternities. Friday we had a cooking day doing office stuff fixing problems the usual stuff and then Saturday I had an exchange with my young fearless district leader. The exchange honestly was not productive or planned out well but the Elder and I had a good time and he learned a lot. He's been on his mission for 4 months and he's a stud. Nothing brings more Joy than ministering to the one and we did that together on our exchange. Sunday we had 3 friends at church had a super successful week and invited 2 of our freinds to be baptized. They are still cooking for a second. Gods got their back and we are excited for them! I am loving the work it's going by fast and I love and miss all of you! The office is wild so many funny random crazy things each day I cant fully describe it haha. The missionary work is good, God is good and I hope to hear from yall soon I love yall!! Stay Sweet-Elder Williams Scripture I shared with the Prez Alma 34:31 Yea, I would that ye would come forth and harden not your hearts any longer; for behold, now is the time and the day of your salvation; and therefore, if ye will repent and harden not your hearts, immediately shall the great plan of redemption be brought about unto you

God lives in the MTC 7-22-2024

 Wow, what an experience I absolutely love it down here. So far I have started almost every journal entry by stating, today was awesome. Everyday I have felt the spirit while simultaneously laughing so hard my district might think something is wrong with me I am in a trio companionship which is a little hard sometimes but I love them both and God knows I need both of them to keep me in check and to love them in different ways. The day I left I was blessed to have some random sweet old couple pick me up from the Salt Lake Airport and drive me to the Provo MTC because I could not figure out how to find the train system and that made my mom happy to know I had someone taking care of me. They even bought me lunch from a place called purple turtle  During one of my role-playing lessons between a paid actor and my companions earlier last week all 4 of us felt the spirit so strong me personally I almost cried.(still going strong yet I give it 2 more weeks) After the lesson ...

Welcome to the psych ward! 8-12-2024

  Eldersss, Sistersss Friends, and family I am just gonna start off by saying this was a Rollercoaster of a week. We had some highs some lows and some unusuals.  The week started off awesome after P-day that Monday we went knocking and this guy let us in turns out he has met with missionary's before and already knew the whole doctrine of Christ and has a testimony of it and prays everyday and listens to the book of Mormon every day and we both felt prompted to invite him to be baptized!! Turns out he was previously on probation and that's why he was taught everything but wasn't baptized he will need first presidency approval and will need to show commitment since being off poral so pray for him. His name is Daniel and he is really wanting to be baptized and I want to help him get there.  This week I also got to teach a super sweet 8 year old girl the doctrine of baptism and her family is nonmember but super supportive and I was able to help her pray to her father in heave...
