Where Did March Go?

Hey Y'all.

This past week was a week. We had a lot of fun, but also had a lot of struggles in other aspects of the work. I have truly felt the affects of the adversary when you let them win and take over your thoughts. I never want to experience what I experienced mentally this past week. I'm grateful to have a savior that is there to help pic us up and allow us to see the light at the end of the tunnel when we feel like there isn't ever going to be one. I testify to you that the atonement really is there to bring happiness and fulfillment in our lives. USE IT! I promise you wont regret it.

The work on the other hand has been going pretty good! Elder Garrett and I are staying really busy and really enjoying our selves together haha I swear ever since my year mark, all of my companions have felt like I've been serving with one of my brothers. Makes it a lot of fun, and probably one of the biggest reasons as of to why the time is going by so fast. Anyway this past week wasn't anything too special, we had an exchange with the New Martinsville elders and that was a blast as usual. I got to spend the day with Elder Atkinson and that kid is a clown and a half. Towards the end of the day we went to the park to ITL people there and got surrounded by tons of duck and geese it was pretty neat... but ya other than that things have just been chugging a long out here in good ole Clarksburg WV! we have a lot of sweet potentials that we are pumped to contact this week!

We found out that our mission will be getting smart phones with in the next few months which is kinda lame to be honest.. I was hoping to go my whole mission with out having to worry about that transition but from the sounds of it they will hit the mission right at the beginning of my last transfer.. Should be interesting, but its the Lords work and he is going to hasten it in his own time and in his own way, and if he feels that smart phones are the best way to do that then so be it! It will make quite a bit of the work aspect be a little smoother, just the whole transition will be interesting haha.

For my spiritual thought today I wanna talk about he power and the gift of Love. What effect does love have on our lives? If you asked me id say it effects everything that we do. The apostle Paul in the 1 book of Corinthians says that we could have the faith to move mountains but if we have not Charity we are nothing. the feeling I get when I tell someone I love them or show my love to someone by serving them and making sure that they have a smile on their face is priceless, and that because as we show love we follow the footsteps of our savior in loving our neighbor. I want to invite you all this week to find someone you love and either tell them, or show your love for them by serving them. It could be something as small as putting a smile on their face. I love you all and hope you have a good week.
