Rely on Christ

April 9, 2017

Dear Family and Friends,

This week has been a great week! It was so great to be able to see a
much needed 10 hours of General Conference! As a missionary it is
amazing how you literally treasure up every word and have such a
desire to learn and hear the things that you need to hear. I learned
too many things to share, but I would just invite you all to continue
to study the things that were said. We have 6 months to study the
messages that we heard, and then we get to receive more!


Tomorrow we will receive our transfer calls! I am excited to see what happens.

This week we were able to have some really good lessons with
investigators and were also able to meet and play ping pong, and a
little bit of catch with the group of High school kids that I have
grown really close to here in this area. They are only 16, but have
truly felt the spirit, and are getting close to being ready to be
baptized. Couki talked to his parents about the idea of getting
baptized, and they just kind of acted indifferent to the idea, which
for us is supper great!


I know God has a plan for us. He respects our agency, but he gives us
the situations and circumstances that we are in so that we can learn
and grow through relying on Jesus Christ, and His Atonement. Jesus
Christ is the key to finding joy despite our struggles. We need to be
diligent in our prayers and in our studies. We need to always work
hard to be diligent in the small things, and in the small commitments
and commandments. God uses the small things to test our faith, and
then to know whether or not he can trust us with the big things, also
when we build a foundation upon the small things, then we will not
fall when the big trials come.



I love you all and hope that you can find the joy of the gospel in your life!!!

Love,
