Mission Tour

 (Elder Slade)

To the best friends and family a person could hope for!

This week was pretty great! We found two people to teach this week! One came from having a family invite a part member family for a family home evening together. The other came from a person who referred herself. Her name is Jasmine and she has a nonmember boyfriend names Charles. Hey are interested in growing their relationship with God, and we think they will progress pretty fast! They are super awesome and we are so excited to continue teaching them!

This week we also had a virtual mission tour, by some or our leaders, Elder Gay and Elder and Sister Jackson of the 70. It was wonderful to hear their words. The greatest thing I learned was the fact that we can not do this work by ourselves. We are nothing without the Holy Ghost guiding our words and actions. He does the heavy lifting. And after 10 months of being out, I know that that is true. The Holy Ghost is real and can bring us comfort and peace and guidance when we most need it. It, combined with the Atonement of Christ, can amplify our efforts and allow us to do more than we could by ourselves. As we have put more effort to hear the promptings of the Holy Ghost this week, we have already seen so many blessings.

Lastly, it was great to hear our prophet speak this week as he gave us a message on the healing power of gratitude. If you haven't watched it, I'd encourage you to watch it. His words brought the Spirit so strong, and I know that we have a living and true prophet on the earth today. We are guided by a loving God through His leaders here on earth, and we are guided individually by the Holy Ghost, a member of the Godhead.

I love you all! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving! I don't know yet, but I predict I will be getting alot of potatoes delivered by members on Thanksgiving. You gotta love it.

Pictures:

1. Elder Nabrotzky and I made a challenge to smile the entire way back home a night this week. My face was so sore afterwords! Smiling is painful.

2. We took a picture by a tree, that looked like a glowing mushroom. It was pretty sweet. Or should I say, pretty fun(gi)!
