Letter 5-1-17

Hi! How are you! :) So the picture at the bottom is of Sister Coffey, Mitchell, and I (Sister McKnight) at Mitchell's baptism! That was my first ever baptism to get together, and let me tell you, man is it a lot of work, but it's totally worth it. :) The spirit was so strong! :) We had the opportunity to have the "Moment of reverence" or the "spiritual thought" right after the baptism, waiting for him to get changed and we showed a video called 'lifted burdens' and then bore our testimony afterward, and the Spirit was so strong, it was amazing! There were so many tears in the room. <3 That truly was an amazing experience to me for many parts in the gospel. 1.) That Satan is real and strong and that even though he is scary and you think that he's won, you realized that God is stronger then him. :) 2.) The gospel of Jesus Christ is true and WILL help you in your life. 3.) That Jesus Christ set the perfect example for us to follow and that baptism is the first steps to becoming like Him. :)

Second cool experience, Sister Coffey and I had the lesson part of a fireside. :) It was all about endure to the end and how to turn outwards and see the blessings from that. :)  We shared to videos called 'Good things to come.' by Jeffrey R Holland and 'Reflection' (all video's mentioned are on Mormon.org) and we share some scriptures that have helped me endure to the end, D&C 121:7-8 ; Mosiah 2:41 ; 1 Nephi 15:24

This week has been pretty good, and I just wanted to thank you for all that you are and all that you have done for me in my life. You are all amazing and I love you and Christ loves you and your loving Heavenly Father loves you as well.  Never forget that.  You are special and just like in Elder Holland's talk this last General Conference: my favorite talk, You mean something, no one can ever take you place, because they are not you. You are unique and special and offer something that no one else does. Never give up, never quit. :) <3

I love you all, Always and Forever,
