hello!
we had a great week here with many miracles. i feel as though i
am still in denial about this virus and that any time now we will get a call
telling us we can go back outside for work. we have been so blessed this
weekend to hear from our living prophet, Russel M. Nelson. i am especially
grateful for the messages shared that were centered on Christ and the
continuing restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. here are a few of
the many blessings!
♡ this week we met the sweetest woman named Robin! she had
previously requested a bible from missionaries but never got it. when we shared
the book of mormon with her, she said it was an answer to her prayers! God
continues to provide miracles to us even in times like this.
♡ we also were able to teach megan, sister nielsen’s friend
over skype! it was really cool, we were able to teach with missionaries in
washington that live in her area. technology is the coolest!
♡ we also taught our new friend Jasper. she reached out to us last
week looking for an Elder who taught her previously. she is going through a lot
of struggles right now and it was really powerful to testify to her of the
power of the atonement in her life. it is hard to understand how much Christ
truly suffered on our behalf, to allow us to never be alone in our sorrows.
♡ it was sister nielsen’s 1 year anniversary of being a
missionary, so her parents ordered and sent us sushi! it was so good and crazy
to think i am 6 weeks away from being out for a year!
♡ we were invited by the prophet to participate in a worldwide
fast. this is where we go without food or water for 24 hours or 2 consecutive
meals for relief from this pandemic. no matter your faith please join us
in fasting this friday. if you have any questions about how to fast please
email me!

| fast with us! |
General Conference was so spiritually edifying and I am so
grateful for the knowledge I have of this gospel. I know it has been restored
through a living prophet, Joseph Smith. I know that my Savior lives and loves
me and you. He is at the head of this church. I know that ,"He
came to pay a debt he didn’t owe, because we owed a debt we couldn’t pay."
He is our Redeemer and if we Hear, Hearken, and Heed Him, we can overcome the
world.

If you
didn't get the opportunity to see conference, GO WATCH IT! If you did, WATCH IT
AGAIN! I felt so much peace as I heard testimonies of Jesus Christ and of the
First Vision.
I love you all! Stay healthy and safe!
