Two Months left!

Does Anybody Read This?

Hey Y'all!

Well this week was a goodn'. we felt like the pioneer children who sang as they walked and walked and walked and walked and walked..... and walked..

haha this week we started off up in Charleston! We went up'ere for a exchange with the AP's which was a blast! I got to go with one of my good mission friends Elder Howe :) He's a great example of charity and patience. I learned a lot from him. that night we went to BDubs and my boii Elder Dutson was there! It was good to get to see him and catch up. After our meal one of the waiters.. gave me his snap chat because he wanted to snap me........... Yes I got hit on by a male at BDubs... that was interesting... at first we thought it was our waitress but when I opened it and saw the name and I recognized it to be the waiter that brought us out some food.... so that was funny/awkward/embarrassing gotta love WV!

After our exchange we came back and put some work in at BV. It was just one of those weeks where we had a hard time trying to meet with some of our investigators this week. Lots of them are either gone for vacation, working weird hours, or we just cant contact them. So pray that this week we will be able to come in contact so we can teach them more and get them to where they need to be! I know all things happen according to the will of the Lord.

Other than that I really don't have too much to report haha, It was a good week. Elder Moody and I are keeping our heads high and our voices higher. Literally when we are walking around all we do is sing, dance, and joke around haha it makes it fun! Elder Moody is a lot better of a dancer than me though, I'm trying to learn some moves ;)

For my spiritual thought I want to share a scripture from the Book of Mormon that I read the other day.

1 Nephi 2: 19-20;

19 And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto me, saying: Blessed art thou, Nephi, because of thy faith, for thou hast sought me diligently, with lowliness of heart.

20 And inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall prosper, and shall be led to a land of promise; yea, even a land which I have prepared for you; yea, a land which is choice above all other lands.

I love the promise that the Lord reveals to Nephi in these verses. That as we Keep the commandments we will be blessed and shall prosper. Its easy for us to look at the commandments as something that keeps us from "having fun" or they "keep us boxed in" But if you truly understand the reason why we have commandments you will see that they are really a boat that keeps us from drowning in the waters of sin. Heavenly father is a Just God and is bound to his laws, so when we keep his commandments he is bound to blessing us, and he wants to bless us, that's why in the scriptures Christ is always telling us to "keep the commandments" Heavenly Father wants to bless us and he wants to give us all that he has. I invite you all to find ways that you can better live the commandments, apply it, and look for the blessings that come from obedience. I know that God gives us these things for our own benefit. Look for how they can help you grow instead of asking "why me?" I love you all and hope you have a good week!
