Hurricane Ida

-

HEY EVERYONE!!! How is everybody doing? I love you all so much and pray for you guys all the time! 

These last few weeks have been so crazy! I got the opportunity to go do hurricane clean up in New Orleans and Baton Rouge and it was so insane! There were about 475 missionaries so it was so cool to see everyone come together! Service is my favorite thing ever and it was such a cool experience! I learned that I never want to camp in the south ever again and I hate bugs...that's okay though! 

On the flip side, we have seen so many miracles here in Baytown! My favorite quote is from Russell M. Nelson and he says, " The Lord loves effort because effort brings rewards that can't come without it." We were struggling finding people and we kept getting turned. We were in a pit and didn't know what more we could do. I learned that the best thing you can do is to keep pushing. We never gave up on these people and no matter how many times we got turned away, it motivated us even more! We have had so much success with people reaching back out to us and it would not have happened if we could have given up. NEVER GIVE UP GUYS!!!

In my personal study, I have been in Mosiah reading about Abinadi. You guys...HE IS AMAZING! One of my favorite things about him is that he didn't give up and he didn't stop until he had shared his message he was called to share. King Noah kept trying to get rid of him but he didn't listen. His diligence and perseverance amongst his trials is so admirable. One thing that people can never argue against is your testimony of what you know to be true. Once you have felt the Holy Ghost and the love Jesus Christ has for you, you will never be the same. God loves you with a perfect love and He wants what's best for every single one of his children. 

I love you guys so much and this gospel is so true. There are so many things that testify of the truthfulness of this gospel...sometimes you just gotta look a little harder and you will see it everywhere! 

☆BE KIND
☆BE BOLD IN WHAT YOU KNOW TO BE TRUE
☆GOD LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU KNOW

HELLO EVERYBODY!!!! WOW WOW WOW! Channelview Texas is amazing and the Pine Trails ward is even MORE amazing! I have never met such loving and humble people in my entire life and I would not complain one bit if I stayed here for the rest of my mission! Lakeesha's baptism was on Saturday and it was B E A U T I F U L! She looked so so happy and she said she felt different as soon as she came out of the water. Her confirmation was Sunday during sacrament meeting and she was GLOWING! I love this lady with all my heart and I cannot wait to see where life takes her from here. Her two kids came to her baptism and they were so emotional! AGH if only I could capture the sweet spirit that was there and put it into words! As Bishop Partsch always says, "There are miracles happening in Pine Trails." HE IS SO RIGHT! The people here are so prepared to hear the gospel and it is such a blessing that I get to be a part of it! On Saturday, we went with a member to give food to this elderly ...
