And it came to pass that I did reflect upon my mission and do bear testimony of the things that I have come to know to be true.

    These last few months have been a great time to reflect on my mission and the experiences that I had. My mission has not only grown, but cemented my testimony in my Savior and in his atonement and in my Heavenly Father. I know that the power of repentance and change in life is real through the atonement of Jesus Christ. I know that it is through Him that all things are possible. And I know that it's through Him that I may enter the Celestial Kingdom once more. I know that Jesus Christ resorted His church to the earth through Joseph Smith. I know that is evidenced through the Book of Mormon. I know that we can know this is true by following Moroni's promise at the end of the book. 

    I know that many truths have been revealed and restored to the earth since the coming forth of the book of Mormon. Such as, the plan of salvation. The plan of salvation is something that I fear that we take for granted too much in the church. I say this because I have seen the power of the knowledge of the plan of salvation in many people's lives and how they have changed knowing that they can see their loved ones again. 

    I know that through following the gospel of Jesus Christ, which has been outlined through so much church doctrine, that we can be able to enter into the kingdom of heaven again and rejoice with our father in heaven. I know that God's love for us is great, it is more than we can ever possibly imagine. I know that by following God's commandments we can always have his spirit to be with us. I testify that if you make time for God in your life that you will be able to have his spirit with you always, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

"Now Behold it came to pass that the heat did go out for the space of 5 days"

  Hi guys!  My week has been pretty fun and like last week it involved a lot of service. So here are some stories.  During fast & testimony meeting there was a primary kid who began to bear his testimony on every person in the ward...... individually. The whole congregation got a chuckle out of it when he said about his sister "I even love Rachel!"  Secondly on Tuesday we had district council along with some yummy, yummy pancakes! After that we were doing some Facebook finding in the stake center's family history center with the Zone Leaders. That's when the ZL's got a call from the AP's that we needed to submit some baptismal forms because as it turns out the companionship right before Elder Hansen came in had baptized someone but then both left like a week later and forgot to fill out the forms.  We went to an amazing burger place called Parker's they have 135 different burgers! If you are ever in Missoula it's well worth it.  We then went to a y...

Elder Zach Krebs spoke in Sacrament meeting last Sunday, gets set apart as a full-time missionary tomorrow, and starts the Home MTC on Monday! We're so excited for him and this amazing adventure he's about to start! Here's an excerpt from his sacrament talk on Sunday, September 19th: "We should be sharing the gospel in normal and natural ways. If we have a ward service project ask if they want to come participate. Although the news may not be showing all the good in the world, most people like to help. Or if they are the ones in need of service we have amazing people in the ward who love to help as well. And if you are feeling nervous remember these words from Alma 32:23: “And now, he imparteth his word by angels unto men, yea, not only men but women also. Now this is not all; little children do have words given unto them many times, which confound the wise and the learned.” We can be angels as well. We can all follow God’s will for who he will have us deliver his mess...

Hey guys it has been pretty crazy!       On Tuesday my companion and I split wood and then of course the people we were splitting wood for brought up politics something missionaries aren't supposed to talk about. We deflected it pretty good though.       On Wednesday we went up to a part of our area we can't go up to very often because of miles. We had lunch, shared a few lessons, we then went to their branch Halloween party. We were made judges in the chili cook off so my morning the next day was fun. Also, we had the trunk or treat there and a member came up to us as we were waiting for the trunk or treat to be over and handed us bags and told us to go trick or treating.     On Friday we went and helped some people move and that was pretty fun.      So back on Wednesday we had someone offer us tickets to the MSU game and we took one of the people we are teaching to count it as missionary work! The cool thi...
