What's up everyone! This week was once again another
solid one. I'll just get right to it and gladly announce I'll be in Belgrade
for another transfer!!!!!! Lord sees the work Elder Christensen and I are doing
and wants to keep us here.... I'm perfectly ok with that!!!
Weekly highlights!
- doing more training videos at the church and next thing
we know 400 elementary kids are storming in for an evacuation drill, that was
an adventure.
- fluffy bunny challenge at Sister Fife's.... I lost
pretty bad. Ask my mom for the video.
- went and balled with some members of the ward along
with some of Bozeman's elite ball players.... It was fun but nothing like those
mornings we would have at 5:30 am. --- Miss u guys <3
- Checking up on a few investigators and one fella had
some SEC football on so we got to watch the last 17 seconds of Tennessee -
Georgia. I thought the Georgia player had the touchdown which would have sent
it to OT but we had a lesson so thank goodness he didn't get it.... Cause we
probably would've been late for the lesson... #ImKiddingMom
- got pulled over for going 40 in a 25 in Bozeman.... In
my defense the average road in the Belgrade area is like 75 so driving in the
city is a real struggle for me. Cop let me go on a warning and we were still on
time for district meeting. #ChurchIsTrue #AchievementUnlocked
Overall another good week. Robison family and Nora and
Oscar continue to strengthen my testimony of how true this gospel is. I'm not
the one teaching out here, they're teaching me. Their faith and love is a
true testimony to how amazing and pure this gospel is. Lily and Hannah Robison both got up to bear
their testimony and it was as simple as this - "I know this church is
true, I know God loves me". So proud of both of them and their family.
They weren't just saying that, they know it. I know that what they said is true
because of the spirit we feel in their homes. Love that family so very much, so
very blessed to be apart of theirs and Oscar and Nora's life. They have
changed my life.
So grateful to be out here serving and the many wonderful
people I meet every day. We are all God's children out here, is it really that
hard to lift each other up and help your neighbor??? The faith people show strengthens
my faith so very much. This week we had our first true Word of Wisdom
lesson.... We walked out with a box full of alcohol!!! Never been so happy to
be carrying around a box of beer!!!
I didn't even dump it on anyone! #StayingClassy
#StereotypesHurt
Amazes me the faith people show. This gospel is true, I
have front row, court side seats seeing the gospel of Jesus Christ change lives.
Can't imagine how much those would sell for on Stub Hub.
Alright lastly I'd like to share a scripture with you I found
this week....
Ether 5:6 And now, if I have no authority for these
things, judge ye; for ye shall know that I have authority when ye shall see me,
and we shall stand before God at the last day. Amen.
What a freakin sweet scripture. Book of Mormon has a lot
of loving and inspirational words of advice then you have scriptures like this
where Moroni just says it how it is, dude is a stud. Next fool that starts
preaching anti is getting that scripture thrown at them.
Love you guys, I miss you all so very much! It's weird,
this work is hard.... But I have NEVER wanted to do something more in my life.
Seeing how happy everyone back home is, along with the
happiness we see and feel when with our investigators, makes this work well
worth it.
Friday night I was driving around Belgrade with a box
full of alcohol in the back seat (had to really control that lead foot...) and
it really made me think.... Here I am in Belgrade, Montana. Driving around with
a box of Booz listening to church approved music with some dude I had only
known for 6 weeks while my family back home is camping out for College Game Day.
You gotta be pretty dang crazy to be a missionary, but I'm out here because I
know it's true. Saturday night after teaching the Robisons we were driving home
and decided to pull off and look at the stars. Unbelievable. You could see the
different colors of of the Milky Way, so cool! Another one of those moments
where it finally hit me that I'm really doing this. Looked out towards the
Bridgers and a favorite song came to mind as I imagined what was going on back
home.
"Our yell, you hear it ringing through the mountains
near and far."
As much as I wish I could've been there this weekend,
there is no place I would have rather been Friday and Saturday night. Keep it
up Utes. I'm there in spirit.... And apparently on a poster too.
