Happy Mothers Day!

Hey Y'all!

Can't believe that yesterday was Mother's Day! Hope y'all had a good day yesterday. I know that I did being able to Skype the family! Hard to believe that Mothers day has come and passed already, feels like Christmas was yesterday!I Doesn't feel like it should be mid May already! Except for maybe the heat here feels like it is July! It has been super hot and humid lately. So it hasn't been to fun to walk around in but its all for a good cause, and besides we make it fun :)

We had some good success this week. We have continued to teach Shawn and he is progressing really well. We almost put him on date in out last lesson! He said that once he comes to know that the Book of Mormon is true that he would be more than ready to enter the waters of baptism! It was a super good lesson about the importance of the Book of Mormon and how it came about through the Restoration of the Gospel. we could tell he was really feeling the spirit, we are really hoping that he is able to make it to Church with us this next Sunday.

We also went to a community interfaith activity this week. There was about 15 different faiths that were there. Lots of singing and dancing and little activities and some food of course. Can't have a party unless there is food! Must be a Christian culture or something.. But it was a lot of fun to be there with all people from other faiths. Its cool to see a bunch of people coming from different walks of life and faith and recognize the importance of this life and that's to believe in and follow the Savior Jesus Christ.

Transfers are next week and Elder Hadley is going to be getting transferred:( It has been super fun being able to serve with him here in BV, hes a great missionary and has helped me in many ways. I look forward to partying it up with him after the mission, but I know he will kill it in his next area!! I look forward to getting to know my next comp and being able to help him in whatever the Lord needs me to do :)

Mother's Day thought🌼

Alma 56:47-48

47 Now they never had fought, yet they did not fear death; and they did think more upon the liberty of their fathers than they did upon their lives; yea, they had been taught by their mothers, that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them.

48 And they rehearsed unto me the words of their mothers, saying: We do not doubt our mothers knew it.

These scriptures are talking about the 2,000 stripling warriors that were going into battle for the first time. They had not been raised up to fight against their own kind, But they knew what their Mother's had taught them and that was to always put your trust in the Lord. As it says, " they had been taught by their mothers, that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them." When we fully put our trust in the Lord there is nothing that we cannot do! I'm so grateful for a mother that has raised me in the right and has always put the Lord first in her life. Thank you mom for being who you are. I Love you and I am proud to be your son :) Hope you can feel the same haha

I love you all and hope you have a killer week!!!!
