hey y'all!

sturgis is doin’ good but it’s been a little uneventful here haha here’s my week

• we taught our friends Dave and Debbie again and they are a hoot. they really have a desire to grow closer to Jesus Christ and it has been awesome to help them do that!

• we did some service for our favorite family and got tons of raspberries out of it. fair deal if you ask me

• President Nelson gave a BYU devotional that was so bomb! go watch it!

• me and Sister Jacobs gave talks this sunday about Jesus Christ and it was so awesome. I love Jesus and talking to people about him. 

• i literally love sister jacobs- she is seriously the cutest and i am so grateful to be here with her. and everyone calls us JJ :)

• we also had this recent convert in our ward text us and tell us that her daughter wants to be baptized! we could not be more excited for her and that we teach the gospel to her! 

• we had a lesson over facebook messenger which was so cool! technology is such a blessing and is here to further God's work.

• there was a massive warning down here in Southwestern Michigan for EEE, a mosquito borne disease that has a 66% survival rate so that was scary. grateful that God is watching out for us and we were able to avoid that.

President Nelson's devotional was awesome. He talked about 5 truths—you are sons and daughters of God, truth is truth, God's loves us with a perfect love, Christ appoints Prophets and Apostles, and you can learn for yourself through the spirit. I won't spoil too much of it for you all—you should go and watch it.

But most importantly he asked us to do three things after his devotional. Pray and ask to know if he and the Apostles are appointed by the Lord, ask if they receive revelation on this or other matters, and ask if the 5 truths he talked about are true. We are not asked to blindly follow and accept. Our Prophet said not to take his word for it, but to seek to know if it is true for ourselves.

I am grateful for the witness I have that President Nelson is a Prophet of God. He leads and guides this church in the latter-day. I invite each of you to watch it and do as he has invited—pray and seek to know if it is true.  

Love ya’s
