Week 13 - August 8, 2022

 😷COVID😷

The subject probably makes you think we have COVID, but no we don't, at least we don't think so for right now!  But the Graysons got COVID this week and we had to reschedule the baptism:( We are just waiting to hear back from them when they get negative results and we will figure it out again!  If you all could pray for them and keep them in your prayers, that would mean so much.  I love them and their family! 

This week was so good and flew by!  I cannot even believe I am writing another email to update you all!  I honestly feel like there isn't a ton to update you on, but I'll try My best to think! 

The Herring family!!  We love them

We had an amazing lesson last night with Hanna, SHE IS ELECT!  We taught her the Restoration and the whole time she was like, "This makes so much more sense, how does everyone not understand?"  So that explains.  She has such a strong desire to learn more and wants to know more.  We're so excited to continue our lessons with her and hopefully have her family start joining in with us! 

 

This week we also got to go grocery shopping for our friend Robert.  I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!  Robert is the sweetest guy and just adores missionaries!  He only has one leg and was going to ride his scooter to Walmart.  We wouldn't let him do that!  He also is a painter and said he's going to paint us a picture.  I can't wait! 

 

This week I read the talk, "The Power of Spiritual Momentum" by President Russell M. Nelson!  I'm sure everyone has read this talk and loves it, but I'm just going to share the five things we need to do to have positive spiritual momentum in our lives. 

1.Get on the covenant path and stay there

2.Discover the joy of daily repentance

3.Learn about God and how He works

4. Seek and expect miracles

5. End conflict in your personal life

President Nelson then promises, "As you act on these pursuits, I promise you the ability to move forward on the covenant path with increased momentum, despite whatever obstacles you face.  And I promise you greater strength to resist temptation, more peace of mind, freedom from fear, and greater unity in your families."  I know this is true and have experienced it myself.  This gospel is a gospel of hope and love!  This gospel has given me everything I have!  I challenge you all to seek to find what you love about this gospel and hold on tight and follow these five steps to have the spiritual momentum to do so!!!

I love you all and hope everyone is doing so good! Praying for y'all!!
