IT'S A BOY!!

Hey y'all!

wow what a long week and a half its been! Ill tell ya what it really is hell when you have to wait a week and a half to take a break ahaha. I don't think that will ever get easier for me, but hey what can you do right?

So transfer doctrine came in this past week and Elder White is going to be leaving me, and I'm going to become a trainer!!! I'm so excited and humbled to know that President and the Lord trust me to show a new missionary the ropes of missionary work. Though I'm a little nervous, I know it will be a great learning experience and will be a time to remember. So hey wish me luck!

This past week and a half, surprisingly nothing really happened haha.. We have been working our tails off and have seen little success. which though it can be a little hard at times I just have to keep reminding my self that no effort is wasted and that as long as I'm doing what I'm supposed, then I'm making heavenly father proud. I'm definitely learning to be humble, patient, and diligent that's for sure!

This past week we did get to go on exchanges with the Zone leaders and that was a lot of fun, I got to go with Elder Stoneberg who has been out only one more transfer than me. Crazy to think that I'm starting to turn into a "Older Missionary" now haha. wow that actually felt a little good to say... I'm gonna say it one more time... "Older Missionary"

ANYWAY! I'm doing good. The weather has been nice, The ward is awesome here, I'm gonna train, AND God loves me, other than all the tracting... I have nothing to much to complain about folks :)

For my spiritual though this week I wanna talk on the importance of faith. I know I have talked about this before but it is such an important trait to have a not only a missionary but a child of God. Faith is the very first principle of the gospel. With out it we have no foundation and no knowledge. We read in Hebrews 11:1; Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

I want to invite you all to look for ways that you can strengthen your faith this week. whether it be through Scripture study, Prayer, Or church attendance. I promise as you do, you will feel of God's love more fully in your life. I love you all and hope you have a great week!!!
