Week #70 - POWER TRIP

HOWDY Y'ALL. This week was busy and yet so blessed. I absolutely love being a missionary and serving my Savior. I've really been thinking a lot this week about becoming more like the Savior. He truly is the greatest example we have on this earth. We are unbelievably lucky to have such an example. I'm so thankful for my Savior Jesus Christ. 

This week we had the opportunity to take the missionaries that had finished their missions to the airport and then to also pick up the missionaries who had just arrived to Texas. It was a sweet experience to say goodbye to some amazing missionaries. I loved being around the new missionaries. It definitely brought back some memories from last February when it all began. It really made me reflect on how much of a blessing my mission has been to me. My testimony is stronger and I just know it's true. My mission has changed my heart and helped me slowly start becoming the person I want to become. I am overwhelmed with the grace Jesus offers me and the ability to change. 

This week we also finally got time to go knock doors and let me tell you it was such a blessing. Our first night back out on our first door we knocked into a mom and her family of 5 kids. She loved our message and invited us back. It was really amazing to see Heavenly Father help consecrated our time for him. 

Then a couple days ago we were out finding again and we met our friend Jason. 3 hours before we met him he had ran into missionaries about 45 minutes from our area. They had talked with him and gave him a Book of Mormon. He was then going to be referred to us. Fast forward a couple hours and Elder Airth and I are out knocking on doors. We see Jason pull in so we go say hi. He told us that he had just met missionaries and was impressed with how fast we move the info. The best part was that the elders who had talked to him previously never sent us the referral so God guided us to him. God is so good. Miracles are to be found in the service of our Lord. 

I've been learning and growing more than ever. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to serve the people and missionaries in Houston. I've never felt so busy and worked in my life but I've also never felt so fulfilled with his love.  It's a blessed life down here in Texas. The Savior leads and his grace fills. I'm so happy. This gospel is true and we can always progress. God bless and love y'all!!
