Letter 1-3-17

Hi everyone! It's me again! So it's been pretty cold here in Pasco in Kennewick Washington. :P  But my companion and I have been doing fun things in the snow and cold to make it a better experience that way we are uplifted by it instead of brought down from it.  I've never seen so much snow! :P We are still walking and trying to find people.  We found two potential families this past week and are visiting them this week.  We found a some what new investigator who we will begin teaching, and hope we can get them to come closer to Jesus Christ and be baptized.  We are still teaching Rebecca and one of her three sons who is eight years old. :) They are so awesome, but we are meeting with them tomorrow because we haven't been able to meet with them sense early last week. :P

Oh okay, so one thing that I forgot to let you all know last week, is that I met with a member of the  Pentecostal  church... now that was interesting. :P It was cool to see and learn about other religions, i guess, but they weren't interested in learning more, but anyways.  I started to say the closing prayer, then all of a sudden as I was speaking I didn't know if they we speaking gibberish or if they we repeating my words in their language but yeah. :)

But anyways, things are good, I've been doing a lot of studying on faith and things to help me on my mission and here is some things that I wanted to share:
John 20:29 "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."
D&C 6:8 "seek earnestly the best gifts, but always remember for what they are given."
Gordon B Hinckley "Call on the Lord. He has extended the invitation, and He WILL answer."
D&C 21:9 "I WILL bless ALL those who labor in my vineyard with a mighty blessing..."
D&C100 all of it's amazing blessings of comfort for missionaries
D&C 50:16 "I will be merciful unto you; he that is weak among you hereafter shall be made strong." I think I can apply it to me, because I"m weak and I'm out here trying my best to teach the gospel to others and I hope God can make me strong. :)
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness, Most gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. "
PMG- Remeber, your confidence and faith should be in Christ, not in yourself.    Though weak, yet were they strengthened by the power of God.

Thank you all so much! You mean the world to me! Please continue to write or email me, they make my day! I love you all and hope you have a great new year!
