Letter 4-16-18

HELLEW!!!!! everyone! How are you doing? Well exactly a month from now (17th month mark today!) I will be home from my mission and my sister will be off to the MTC, starting her mission!!! It's so amazing to be able to meet with her and be together as a family for 6 days before she dedicates a year and a half to serving the Lord.

Yesterday at church, again, we have two wards, so we were able to sit through 5 hours of church. :) What a wonderful time we have. We had 2 investigators come to church and we had 3 less actives come that we are working with and a former investigator come to church! It was truly amazing to be able to see them all there. :)

The messages at church were all amazing too! One sacrament was all about the Book of Mormon than the other one was about how the priesthood blesses us individually and as families. :)

Then we joined the young womens and we learned about Jesus Christ and when he was speaking to Peter asking him three times: "Lovest thou Me? Then, feed my sheep" That really stood out to me, because we are all going to me a missionary for the rest of our lives. When we got baptized, we made a covenant with God that we would minister to those around us. :) Also, this helped me reconfirm the importance of working hard to the very end, there is no time or game to just step back for a few and take a break, because Christ never did. We need to be examples for others to see, that Jesus Christ loves all of us, and that Heavenly Father as well loves us, His children and wants the best for every single one of us.
