Hey family!!

I hope that everyone is doing great!! I am sure that life is hectic because the wedding is soon... Right??? I don't even know what day the wedding is... When is it?? Just know that I have you all in my prayers!! Take a video and LOTS of pictures of the wedding.... I won't be sending pics this week. Sorry.

So we had a conference with the President Maravilla. He is an amazing leader. I am so glad to be under his guidance. I learned so much more about the Book of Mormon and how it applies to our lives. Being here on the mission has helped me gain a huge love for the scriptures. I didn't understand them before. I read but didn't get it really. But I have learned that the Book of Mormon can truly apply to EVERY situation of life. I find the stories coming to life as I read about each prophet. I hope that all of you can really take time to truly feast upon the words of Chirst found in the scriptures!!! I invite all of you to start now if you haven't started. Today is the day of repentance, the day of change!! I love you all and want all of you to receive the promised blessings of God!!!

Life is so full of choices. Some are so small that they don't seem to matter. For example, what color of shirt you wear. However, each choice brigns their consequence. One may ask what is the consequence of the color of shirt you wear. Maybe that color with catch the attention of a future friend, boss, or spouse. If we are living in agreement with the Gospel of Christ, we can be ready to be an instrument in the hands of our Savior. That friend may be a non-member that will join the kingdom of God because of you!! Always prepare yourself to help and be a solution and not be a problem!! Be willing to serve the Lord with all your heart, might, mind, and strength.

I have found more joy in being obedient and willing to serve than in any other moment of my life. If you have a doubt or trial, trust in God!!! Go to Him in prayer. And trust in His chosen leaders.

I love you all!!!!
