What’s been weighing you down?

Wow so many things in one week, interviews, zone conference, movie night, Visitors Center trip, and MLC. It was a fun week and can I just say... It is wonderful to be a missionary! I love it! Nothing brings more peace and happiness than sharing with others that they are loved, they are a child of God, and Families can be forever.

This week we had a movie night and invited everyone we’re working with and the ward members, if they brought someone to come to the chapel and watch "Meet the Mormons." We provided drinks and popcorn. It was a great turn out! The spirit was strong and we all got so much out of it. One thing that stood out to me was that the Gospel is truly for everyone! We also got to go the next day to the Visitors Center with our investigators while their cousins were sealed in the temple. We got to go and watch videos of Joseph Smith, the Book of Mormon, and The Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Once again I learned that the church is for everyone. Think about your life... What are your struggles... Is there tension at home between your family? Are there conflicts with friends? What about feeling lost about what’s next in life or even what your purpose even is? These are just a few of many questions or struggles we all feel at some point or another. Friends and family from the bottom of my heart I want you to know I have seen the Gospel of Jesus Christ resolve conflicts, heal broken hearts, take away addiction, and even build confidence in not only others’ lives but in my own. I would urge you to just try. See what the gospel can do for you. I promise that it will do nothing but support, uplift, and inspire. That is because you are a child of God. He loves you, this is his church put here on earth to bless you! 

I hope you all have a wonderful week! Things in Hawaii are great, hot and humid, but great! Please please please.... Don’t forget to smile this week!
