Howdy yall!!! I know I've said this multiple times but I again restate my thoughts. It's a blessed time to be a missionary in Texas. I'm so happy with my life and the light I feel because of my Savior.
This week we had MLC (mission leadership conference) which is always fun because I get to see a ton of my mission friends. In it we talked a lot about becoming better and the role repentance has in our lives. We read from President Nelson's last Priesthood session talk. I have never felt so inspired to be better and repent daily. I think a lot of the time we take repentance as a negative thing in our lives or as something that is burdensome. In reality, repentance is change in which we get brought closer to our Heavenly Father and Savior. What a beautiful thing. Every day we can change and come closer to our Savior. Every day we can become. Every day we can grow. I'm so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to become.
We also set a date this week with a young guy we are teaching named Julian! His family has been coming to church for some time now. We had a lesson just with him and another youth from the ward. During the lesson we stopped and asked him to pray and ask God if baptism was the right next move. When we finished the prayer he looked at us and told us he "felt something." The spirit was there and he knew what his next step was. It's all possible through the spirit. He leads and guides.
On Friday, we had the opportunity to go with our mission president and speak at a youth devotional in our stake. We even got to eat a roasted pig that was pretty good. We then were asked to speak about the impact our mission has had on our lives. It was truly special to think about the change that has occurred on my mission. I used to not really know who God was, but now I have no doubt that He's there. I've felt the Atonement heal and I've seen miracles that anchor my testimony.
Learning Heaven down here in Texas. God is so great. His gospel is pure and His love is constant. I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunity I have to participate in such a great cause. I'm thankful for the ability I have to share light with others and help them find joy. This gospel is true. Jesus is the Christ. I love y'all and God bless!!
