Bryant was Baptized!

Hello beautiful people of the world. How are you doing. As you can guess I am doing fantastic. I am having the time of my life out here. I don’t mean that as fun but life is beautiful out here life is amazing out here.

Last Mon - pday- It was a really good day. After our laundry and emailing we went to a member’s house who has sand volleyball courts, basketball, tennis, pickleball and golf. It was our zone activity and it was a blast. We then went to out ward FHE. We got to know a bunch of our members more and share a message about Thanksgiving.

Tues Nov 13, nine months until I go home, I am on the tipity top part of a roller coaster, I am up at the top but now comes the most amazing part that you are just giddy for. We had president interviews. I love president and he is just amazing. He really is inspired. He and I have so many good laughs and so many spiritual moments in our interviews. We laugh and cry. I sustain that man.

We rode up to our lesson with Bryant. It was his last one, laws and ordinances. He was so excited to follow Jesus.

The next day we helped Vida and talked with her. She has decided to substitute juicing for her coffee. She is excited for Bryant and we could tell she wished she could get baptized on Saturday too but she didn’t want to hold him back anymore. Please keep praying for her. She just needs to get past this addiction so she can come into the fold because that is where she wants to be.

Bryant had his baptismal interview and he passed with flying colors. He gave us high fives.

Thursday after exercise we went to do government commodities at the food pantry. We love that place and those people. It was really great to help people for Thanksgiving. Everybody deserves to have a happy holiday.

We came home and studied. We are so busy that sometimes our studies get pushed but I love it when we can sit and have a good study. We are usually just running. God does not have a time boundary but we do so we just have to keep up with him and his work.

We worked a complex to find some of our less active people. One, Pia said she was baptized many years ago but does not have much knowledge about the gospel. She has been having many challenges and trials. She said she was angry and crying and praying and right then we knocked. She thought, “that must be the missionaries.” She didn’t want to answer. We knocked on the door three times while she watched us talk and laugh with each other through the peep hole. We usually walk away but just had stayed and chatted with each other. She finally opened the door. We said, “You must be Pia, what can we do for you?” and she just broke down and started crying. She told us that she wants to take the discussions again so she can learn about it again. She wants to learn and wants her nonmember boyfriend to join us. So woot woot for that. I know that we needed to go there and I love it. I will go where you want me to go dear Lord.

We also knocked on a door. He immediately started laugh because he is an inactive return missionary with a daughter who just turned nine and is not baptized. He had just moved into the area and had just said, “I wonder how long it will take for the missionaries to find us” and there we were. He was kind but not super open but I know we needed to find him. I just love how God puts us in places where we are need and where god wants us. We know we are on His errand and are sent to his lost sheep. I love it. I wish I could put you in my pocket to experience this with me.

Friday - tennis and studies and then we helped a pregnant sister clean her house. She was having cravings so she took us to a sushi house. It was amazing! It was so good! I love sushi. We rode home, made cookies and planned for the baptism.

Nov 17 Saturday - oh my heart! It will always have a special place in my heart because one of my best friends became a brother in the gospel. We finished the cookies then rode to the stake center where we set everything up for the baptism. His less active dad came and his best friends came to support him. He was so nervous but he was so excited. When he came up out of the water he was just smiling. The spirit was so strong. I am so happy. He is just so sweet!

After the baptism we went to work with a new vigor. Baptisms are truly energizing.

We went to a fiesta with the hermanas and I saw mi bella! My 91 year old grandma her wanted pictures so we took them. She pats my cheeks while I try to speak spanish saying te amo hermana, te amo!

Sunday, Bryant was confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Vida, loved it all and many came up to her asking if she was next. She just answered “Yes, yes I am!”

For RS sister Crisp gave a lesson on President Eyring’s talk “Try, try, try” I cried and Brittany my disabled friend who sat by me held my hand and cried with me. I love the hymn he talked about “I am trying to be like Jesus.” Hymns are powerful.

We went to work for the rest of the day. I just love my life as a missionary and I never want it to end. It all goes by so fast. It is killing me. I know all my missionary friends are laughing at me especially my brotha Jake. I feel like a greenie but feel like I have been her forever. Thank you for being so supportive of me. I love you and pray for you all. I hope you are happy and are truly seeking the joy that comes from being obedient to God. Something I have found out here is true joy. In the bible dictionary, joy is linked to obedience. Truly seeking to be obedient and trying to be like jesus brings that joy. I love this church and this gospel. I love people and love to spend my life talking to people and bringing people closer to Christ. Seeing bryant baptized and confirmed just made me so happy and grateful to part of his journey. I have already witnessed how much it has and will affect his life.

Have an amazing Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for Jesus Christ my savior and his atonement. I am thankful for this gospel. Have a fantastic week.

Love you, love you, Bye

Bryant is getting Baptized!

Sister Walters basically in Winter Clothes and I am still feeling like it is Summer

Bryant drew a picture of me

This dude just returned from serving with Elder Matthew Cordner

Hello friends and family. Happy Veterans day. Thank you to all who sacrificed so much for our amazing country. You are loved.

Happy November!

Mon - Pday - busy ok day. Laundry, emailing, shopping, volleyball at the church and I tumbled with Hermana McCrae - I got my roundoff back handspring and aerial back. We practiced our song for zone conference. We decided we hadn’t seen Leslie for a while so we went to visit with her and she told us why she is so busy. We were like ok we realize you have a life outside of meeting with us. We were able to chat with her and set up a return appointment which is great. Working made me so happy.

Tues - One month until I am twenty. I do not feel old enough to be 20. We went to help Wendy clean, she had surgery six weeks ago, her house had not been cleaned since so we spent most the day with her. She is also going through a rough time so we were just there for her. She shared her mission stories with us as we swept and mopped, scrubbed sinks and toilets, washed mirrors and windows. Then when we were finished she took us to dinner. Then we went to practice our song again with the sisters. While we were practicing I sat on the wall beside the podium and fell off backward and hooked my legs just in time but my whole body was dangling down so the sisters had to pull me up before I fell on my head. They were laughing so hard they had a rough time pulling me up. It was so scary! I had a hard time singing after that. Respect the chapel and don’t sit on the walls by the microphone.

Wed - was beautiful. It was simple and straightforward. WE got to go to the food pantry and work with the amazing people there. we did our studies. Nothing makes me happier than studying the gospel. We went to  work finding the less actives and new people to teach.

Thurs - Happy Birthday to Sarah and James Louder. Happy Birthday guys, I love you. We went to the building early and practiced our song one more time before singing for zone conference. I looked down when I got there and realized I didn’t have my nametag on. Sister Welker had a spare nametag so I was sister Welker for a day. I felt better with a nametag on instead of being a normal civilian. I learned so much at zone conference. All growing up  I heard about missionaries and zone conference but I never understood the power of zone conference until I have sat in them. It is truly amazing. We receive revelation, we grow and learn and get spiritually charged to go out and teach and save souls.

President Thomas stressed how the spirit is directing this work and how we should DO missionary work. D&C 9:7 - we did not meet our mission goal so he asked us to think what we could have and should have DONE better - her reminded us that instead of just asking we need to DO more. D7C 98:3 - he giveth this promise … all things shall work together for thy good - look for the positive and ask what can we learn. I love President Thomas.

Sister Thomas talked about shepherding souls. She had us turn to Luke 15:7 and 10 - joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth - we are so loved by our Father in Heaven and even by the angels - she challenged us to go after those souls. We are finding lost sheep. They are lost because they already followed Jesus Christ and accepted this plan, but down here they are lost. We get to help them find their way back. We turned to John 21 when Jesus asked Peter to feed his lambs and sheep. I have heard this story countless times. I have always taken it as oh I need to do this but we were asked by sister Thomas, “Do you love your life at home more than his sheep?” When we are distracted we hinder His work. We left our nets, we have this calling to be missionaries, not just for two years or 18 months, our calling as a missionary is for life. We can’t go back to our previous lives. We should continue in his work.

We went to work and found less active members.

Friday - a good day, we went on a walk, so great, I love nature.

We went to a lesson with Vida. On our way, sister Walter’s chain fell off so she fell off. So we showed up with Sister Walter’s banged up and me covered with bike grease. We did not set her back on date because she wants to get off coffee before we put her back on date.

We went to more less active homes and potentials and set up return appointments. We went to dinner with Desi. I love her, she is one of my favorites.

Sat - crazy busy and crazy fun day. We went to breakfast with the first counselor in the mission presidency’s and his wife at his home. We went to a lesson with Bryant. Remember he is 12. His cousin Angie was there and he said, “Angie, come listen, come learn, you’ll love it.” That is Bryant. Angie asked us tons of questions about baptism. Vida said she is ok if he gets baptized first and without her because he is ready. His date is the 17th of November.

The Rebar’s fed us salmon for dinner, are you jealous Elder Jake? I actually loved it.

We went to the church and watched the light the world video. Sister Seipert, you are in the Light the World video. I saw you and I freaked out.

Sunday, Nov 11, happy birthday Jaxon! Bryant came to church and looked so great in his suit jacket. We have very many people who are having a hard time accepting that we cannot eat with members anymore.

We went to a lesson with Bryant again and he invited Angie again. They are so special. Bryant does an amazing job - we introduce topics and he will listen to what we say and he repeats it in a way that he understands it. Angie said her first vocal prayer, it was more of a whisper, she whispered it in my ear. This kid is twelve, he is amazing and I learn so much each time we meet with him. Angie is so sweet and participates and reads the scriptures. After our lesson Bryant came with us to a fireside about patriarchal blessings. It was so great! The patriarch said the common thing about all blessings is love, it is all about love, they are filled with love.

I love you all. I am praying for all of you. Welcome home to Elder Britsch. Returned with honor. You are awesome.

Have an amazing week.

Love you, love you, bye.

Happy November!

Hello, it is Sister Dalley. This is going to be quick because my last one was way too long.

Monday - We did our morning pday stuff and then went to play volleyball and basketball at the church and email.

Thank you Julie Britsch for sending me leaves. I love fall and the pretty fall colors. We went to the Phillip’s house for dinner and said goodbye to Abraham who is going to the Spain Madrid mission. He had a bunch of friends over, some members and some non members and us.

Tuesday - We did a bunch of phone work with less active members and then went out to talk to them. If they weren’t there we talked to people who were. We went to dinner at the Hyatts and then to ward correlation. It was super good and we got a lot done.

Wednesday - Happy Halloween everyone. Guess what I was this year, I was a sister missionary. To start off that day, we went to the food pantry. I love it so so so much. There is a less active couple that works at the food pantry. We have made a little friendship there so maybe someday they will come back. We visited another less active member, Cynthia, and we just chatted. She is so sweet but works on the weekends. She still wants to be part of the church.

We had to be off the streets by 5. So we went to the church and had dinner as a zone. We had a devotional and then played games.

Thursday, Nov 1 - Happy Birthday Tay Tay, my brother in law. I hope you were spoiled. To everyone else, Happy November. I got to celebrate too, but in a different way. We got to go to the temple. It was so amazing. On our way there, I got a phone call from my long lost cousin and assistant to the president Elder Dalley. He asked me to do a musical number for zone conference. I have no idea where it says I have musical abilities because I don’t but this will be my third time singing at zone conference.

It was about a two hour drive with traffic to the temple. Then we were there! I love that beautiful place. One of the sisters brought names so we did initiatories. That was the first time doing initiatories since my own. It was so beautiful, I love it so much. It was a great reminder of my blessings and the promises given to me. I loved it so so much! There is an atrium in the celestial room so we spent an hour in there. We also were shown sealing rooms and the brides room because we became good friends with the lady there. So much love and beauty, it makes me feel energized. I feel light and joy and beauty and love, so great. While I was there, someone said, the temple is the university for eternity. I was given advice by a friend once to never go to the temple without a question. So I brought questions and my goodness it works. I felt so close. I love feeling God’s love through the spirit. I believe Jesus Christ walks the halls of the temple. It is his house isn’t it? Light love peace joy promises - TEMPLE! I love it.

We took pics with the district and my sistas and went to Deseret Book and then I got a num vegan salad at whole foods. I can just see my brother Jake cringing. We chose a song to sing for Zone conference and started practicing it.

Friday - It was great! We went and sang and practiced with the sisters. It is my favorite thing to do… not really but I am happy they are willing to ask me to do things.

We had a lesson with Julie Austin Charlie and Ethan. We read 2 Nephi 31 and talked about baptism. We were like “oh, there is a baptism tomorrow, do you want to come?” and they said yes.

Saturday - We had zone breakfast with our stake presidency. The Elders were having a baptism so Julie, Austin, Ethan and Charlie came and loved it and asked questions. Julie said she is so interested in the church because her son and her brother in law is a member. She lived in Utah and everyone was kind to her. She is so interested in learning more.

We are going to be watching general conference with them. She said, “If I know it is true, I potentially want to join.” We were like “Ya, that is why we are here. “ They loved the baptism and we gave them a little church tour.

We went out and worked after the baptism. We were following navigation and walking to a less active members house. We were walking and following the navigation. The navigation said, “You are here.” We looked up and we were at Baked Bear, the ice cream store. So instead of teaching a lesson, we had ice cream.

Sunday - Church was great! Then we went to visit sister Darlene. She is so cute, we just love her. We like to stop by because she is our friend at the assisted living center. We Went to dinner at the Tullis’s and then went to YW in Excellence to support the YW. Afterward we went and practiced our song.

I have been doing the challenge to read the Book of Mormon by the end of the year. It has been good. I love the speed of the reading. It helps me connect things. Everything flows together and makes sense. It is super cool. If you aren’t doing it, I encourage you to do it.

That is my week. I love you and I hope you all are doing great. You are all amazing and I am so grateful for all of you. See you.

Love you, love you, bye.

Transfers! Temecula!

Hello my family and friends! How is everyone doing? Email me and let me know.

This weem we got some bomb burritos. My mission out here besides inviting others to come to Christ is to find the best California burrito. Cessy’s is at the top but Alburritos comes second.

We went to lunch with our old bishop. We talked about missions and about his daughters. He has taught them but they are having a rough time believing and living the gospel.  We have a really good relationship with his daughters so he loves having us around.

My life as a missionary is the best. I hope you all know that. I feel like whenever I tell you about it it doesn’t sound as cool. We are working hard and  having fun. We are sharing the gospel, talking to people and having fun. We are happy. I feel so blessed to be part of this work. I feel so blessed to be a missionary. I feel so blessed to be a representative of Jesus Christ. I truly have strong feelings about certain things that have always been in my life. I have never appreciated more than when I share it with someone who has no idea. Sometimes nothing comes from it but it just builds up my testimony.

Even though numbers wise it doesn’t look like I am having too much success. I feel successful. I am truly starting to have intense feelings about it. I am happy crying happy tears. I love this gospel, it is the best. There is so much peace and love in it. I am giddy and overjoyed. God really does love us all.

We worked at the food pantry. It is so sad it is Sister Portez last time. Sister Portez is finishing her mission. She is flying back to the Philippines. I am going to miss her so much. I love her so much. The people at the food pantry love missionaries. It is so fun for us, it is amazing. They allow special needs people to come and help them so later they can find a job. We love them.

We had to borrow the hermanas car to go to Murrieta. After we came back they had borrowed our bikes but my back tire was popped. The hermanas had to go to an appointment so they couldn’t give us a ride so we started walking to our appointment. We realized we were going to be 45 minutes late so we each said a silent prayer. We immediately got a phone call and it was a member who saw us walking and said the spirit told her to help us. She took us to our appointment. So prayers are real.

We met with Guy and studied the first chapter of Revelations. He is kind of worried about the state of the world and government and all. So ya.

Because my bike tire is broken, we started walking. It took us 2 hours to walk to Vida’s house. She is the furthest house in our area. We had our lesson with her and taught the law of chastity and the word of wisdom. While we were teaching Vida’s son walks out and brings her a cup of coffee. She was adding her cream and sugar and stirring it right when we read “hot drinks, coffee and tea are not for the belly..”  We all burst out laughing! Pray for Vida, this is going to be hard for her. We have faith it can happen / it will happen. She is trying to be ready for Oct 28 baptism date. Sister Rebar was with us and then she took us to a less active family where we had a great conversation and invited them to trunk or treat.

We taught Bryant his lesson. He is something. His little brother Johnny kept coming in to talk to him and he would say “Johnny I am trying to learn, but you can schedule a time to talk to the sisters.” Remember that this kid is 12. At the end of the lesson we asked him to pray, he was super nervous. We sat there for a while and I told him I would pray first to show him how. After my prayer he said his first vocal prayer. It was so beautiful. He said, “Thank you for the sisters and them taking time to teach me. Please bless my baptism date and help me to make it.” He is so pure and so elect. It is truly one of the sweetest things on my mission hearing Bryant pray for the first time. After his prayer he was beaming. I asked him his favorite treat and he said Taki’s - It reminded me of Ben Verdajo - Ben Ten this guy is your friend - I promised him I would by him Taki’s if he reads five Book of Mormon verses and prays every day.

We went to Jaycee’s house and helped her. She doesn’t have anyone in her life but the missionaries. So we help her. She is kind of crazy. She is impressed by our standards and she wanted a copy of the book of mormon that we all signed for her. She is so cute.

We tried to work but no one is happy for us to be knocking on the door because of the World Series. They just hurry and ask us to leave.

Happy birthday Sunny!

We got transfer calls and I am staying but Sister Stoddard is leaving :/ Everyone knows we have been best friends.

My new companion will be sister Walter. All I know about her is she is super quiet and nice.

We walked to our next appointment and stopped and talked to the Elders and one of their member friends who knows Nate and Patty and is good friends with my cousin Josh.

We found our person we were teaching, Josh also, he has been MIA but invited us to come back again.

We had stake conference. It was amazing. We learned a lot about service missions and the bishop’s storehouse. It made me think about my amazing Ema and Papa, you guys do that! You are awesome. We learned a lot about the temple and its role in ministering. We also talked about kindness and they talked a lot about missionary work that made us happy.

We were walking to our appointment and a lady pulled over and asked, “Are you LDS?” I answered, “Yes we are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints.” She paused and was like “... ok, do you need a ride?” She was so sweet. She explained her concerns and gave us her number and said we could call her.

My new companion Sister Walter’s is really sweet. Some things about her - she has been here for a year and is from Shiloh Arizona by Snowflake. She loves animals and helps her gma shelter and rescue animals. She wants to be a vet and she has had 25 cats and has a dog named Aurora. She is 26 years old. She is quiet but awesome and has an amazing testimony. I am excited to work with her. Every companionship in our zone changed. I have been here nine months! Ta da! It has gone by so fast and I have loved every second of it. We tried to play tennis for exercise. I am not very good at it but I love it.

Sometimes when we teach we are praying the whole time that Heavenly Father will give us what to say.

My scripture hero is Samuel the Lamanite. He has so many attributes I want as a disciple of Christ - fearless, spirit centered, determined, courageous, good, preaching whatsoever things come into his heart - just what I want to be and do. God does put a lot of things into my heart, he gives me love and patience for them. I love how I feel when I am teaching someone.

We had to change Vida and Bryant’s baptism date because she has trouble staying away from coffee. We went to a lesson prepared to teach laws and ordinances but  I felt we needed to talk about something else. I asked her if she had prayed about Joseph Smith and she said she had. I asked her about her experience and she said she didn’t have any experience because she didn’t know anything about him. The mission records said she had been taught the restoration so I have no idea why she missed it but she acted like she had never heard it before as I taught. I told her about the first vision and cried the whole time. The spirit was so strong and she said “Now I get it. He is the guy that received the revelation about coffee right? Now I understand why this is important.” Now all of the roadblocks we have run into with her make sense.

Julie’s other grandsons besides Austin were at her house for our lesson.Those boys are starving for spiritual things. We are now teaching all four of them. They wanted to be part of it and wanted their own copies of the Book of Mormon. One of them was so excited. He said he used to read the bible every night.

I was reading the scriptures and learned in Ether Chapter 6 how the wind that Heavenly Father caused to blow continuously on the Jaredite barges is what caused the tempests that pushed them to the depths of the ocean but He also pulled them up again. I love their attitudes that they are constantly singing praises to Him.  We may have trials but He will always be there to help us and bring us up again. They can be learning experiences. They push us toward the promised land or where God wants us to be and do the things we need to do for Him.

One of the cute boys in our ward is leaving on a mission, he spoke on Sunday and we are so excited for his new adventure because missions are awesome!

Also, our cute friend Brittany is submitting papers to serve a service mission. She is so special and will bless so many lives. We are so excited for her. I cried and cried.  

I love this gospel. I love teaching it and I love living it.

I love you love you,

Bye

Jesus the Christ

Hello Everybody, It is Sister Dalley on Pday

Monday

We went to a church and played a lot of volleyball. That was awesome. We tried squid too, that interesting … it was actually nasty, just chewy and eww. It was a fun day. It was super fun, it was a good day.

Tuesday

I hear Jenna is in the MTC now which makes me so happy for her. That is so exciting and I am so pumped for her! I am so excited to see and hear about all the amazing things she does.

We went to district council. We talked a lot about Joseph Smith and the importance of the first vision. It was super powerful and super good. We studied the talk from Tad R Callister, Joseph Smith the prophet of the restoration.

We went out and worked. Working is the best thing ever even when no one lets you in or wants to talk to you. It is awesome. I love it. We are working hard and trying hard and having fun. We try to share with them light and joy but there weren’t any takers. Maybe someday. It is always my favorite. I love it so much. I feel so blessed to be a missionary and share this light. It makes me feel that much brighter. Every time I share the light with someone else I feel like my heart and light doubles.

We went to dinner a sweet old German woman who is five years older than Elder Uchtdorf. She told us stories about the war and so many sad and crazy instances that happened to her and to her family. She is amazing. She also had a friend there from Taiwan who told us stories.  It was a very informative dinner.

We right back out and worked. Being a missionary is this best ever. I wish you all could experience what I am experiencing. I love it.

Wednesday

We went to the food pantry which you all know is my favorite thing ever. We set our goals for the coming year for the ward council and ward missionary work. We also set plans on how we/or the next missionaries will achieve those goals.

We went out and worked and then went to dinner with the Chase family. They go all out for halloween, it looked like a halloween storm inside.

Thursday

Nothing ever goes to plan. It is funny, as missionaries, we make a schedule and plan out our day but God always uses us where he needs us. We set up tables and chairs for a wedding. We then went to the food pantry for government commodities and then had the hermanas drive us home and we couldn’t find our keys. We retraced our steps at the food pantry and then at the wedding site and could not find them anywhere. We were two sister missionaries in sweats and tshirts locked out of our apartment. The only spare key was in Vista.

The sweet member where the wedding was took us to Vista to get new keys. She is seriously the most christlike person we have ever met. We apologized and she answered “would Jesus Christ help you” we answered yes and she said, “didn’t I promised to take upon me the name of Jesus Christ and renew that promise when I take the sacrament?” We answered yes and she answered, “Then let me serve you.” I got to see the VanArle’s who I love so much.

We were only able to get ready in time to go to our relief society activity.

Friday

Not very many people wanted to talk to us this week except Darlene, our member friend who is bedridden at the care center who wanted to talk a lot. She bears her testimony every other sentence. I want to be just like her when I am her age. She is such a light and is also so sassy.

That night while we were doing weekly planning we heard thunder and ran outside and it was pouring rain which never happens in Temecula. I love California but miss the variety that Utah brings, the leaves, ah. It was so fun though.

Saturday

A wedding filled day, Julie’s (a person we are teaching) daughter was getting married and so we helped her set up. It was very different but elegant.

Then we went to another wedding, a member of ours and her new husband Colton. They asked us to do desserts and we did missionary work while we served pies, cake pops and chocolate dipped strawberries. We answered a lot of questions from the gals we worked beside. We set up, helped and cleaned up the reception. The elders came and helped us.

Sunday

I cannot believe October is halfway over. Ward council was super good. I love who we get to work with. I love our support group and how they involve us. Church was the young men’s program (kind of like the primary program) but the quorum presidents talked and then they had musical numbers including the organ. They invited Bryant in his new button up shirt to sing with them. It was so sweet. We were so excited. We sat in with the yw for third hour. It was fun. Those girls are amazing.  

After church they served leftover desserts from the wedding. We went to a guy (Danny’s) house. He asked a question “How do we know which one is true?” So he is a new person we are teaching. We went to dinner with the Hess family Jack, Earnest and Mary where all three of them have the same birthday. Not planned, I don’t think that is something you can. They are very special people.

That is actually my week but I want to tell you what I learned in Jesus the Christ. This is something that I have been with my dear friend Nickmo. I read Chapter 4, the Antemortal Godship of Christ. It is so cool it talks about all the names Jesus Christ is given. It says in this chapter even though he has so many names and is viewed as so many different things. In the end it says, “God, the Creator, the Jehovah of Israel the Savior and Redeemer of all nations, kindreds and tongues are the same, He is Jesus the Christ.”  You can call Him whatever you want but it does not change what He is and what He did. It is just amazing to me. It is just a testimony to me.

All of this is something I knew but it is reaffirming to study this and read it. I absolutely love it and all it shares. I love the wording, I keep a dictionary on me when I read it but it just builds my testimony so much. I have also been reading the Saints volume along with my regular scripture study. It has boosted my testimony. I encourage you to read it too, along with the Book of Mormon, don’t stop reading that because you are reading these but I just love them all so much. I love everything I am learning out here.  I love seeing all of this in my life. I am so happy I truly have found this joy. I feel like I had it before but didn’t truly appreciate it. I hope you know how important it is because it is so true. The gospel is so true.

I hope you all have a fantastic week. I am very excited for this coming week.

Little shout out to Josh, happy birthday! I hope it is the best.

Love you all, love you, bye!

I saw one of my bffs from the food pantry at lunch
