Latest email post

In Elder Jones email all sounded really great! He still loves his mission and those he is teaching:) His emails are always filled with great experiences with teaching and serving others. He has mentioned on several occasions that he and his companion are getting good at out running dogs when they use their bikes !
Quotes from the email:
So! My studies are now about to go into Alma! :) I love the Book of Mormon, and I absolutely love reading it! :D It just fills me with joy and understanding every time I read it! :) But recently I have been studying a lot about the purpose of the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is such an amazing marvelous blessing in our lives, and many people don't know of its truthfulness! The Book of Mormon testifies of Christ, and contains the fulness of the gospel. That's not all, it confirms the Bible and confirms the life of Christ, His ministry and Atonement. The Scriptures are so priceless! Yes, many a times they are hard to understand, but I know the Lord hears our prayers and sends the Spirit to us to enlighten our understanding. :)


"For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more.." (2 Nephi 28:30)

Quotes From Emails


" missions are not easy, they are not easy spiritually, emotionally or physically. But they Lord has promised that he will uplift and support his servants. The struggles and growth you will have will be such a benefit for those you serve and for your future."

Nebraska is a typical winter on steroids!"

TEACHING A CHILD TO PRAY:" My companion asked him to pray before we left one day and the child was so funny he kept saying no and at one point he said to look one up on youtube and play it haha. :P I finally said to him, here I'll pray with you and tell you what to say, I sat next to him and we both folded our arms and closed our eyes. it was such a cool experience to teach a child to pray and to pray with him. It was a simple prayer. but it was amazing! :)"

"You will find the most marvelous treasures and miracles from reading the scriptures."

Can't breathe :)


One of the members who did as my mom asked " to give me a big hug for her" :)

The tag

When asked what did I do in His name, I will be able to reply, I served faithfully . Its not the tag but the actions that show who it is I believe in and who I follow. The tag helps remind me who it is I represent. My testimony of Christ should be known by my actions in all things, in all places, of who He is, the Savior of the world.
