Closer

24 Mosquito Bites
Update on my life in Mexico:
-At the beginning of my time in the field I was very disappointed because we couldn't find peanut butter anywhere. BUT NOW we have a way to get peanut butter every week and life is good. :)

-I am now a professional at turning on the boiler in the morning.

-I set a record time for hanging up our clothing on the clothes lines this morning.

-My companion got hit by bird droppings.

-The member that we live with told me I am the only American missionary that doesn't have a sunburnt nose that has lived there! (That is impressive because missionaries have been living there for 9 years!)

-An investigator from a while ago who had a bad drinking problem has now come to church twice and has a baptismal date and told us how much he loves learning about the gospel!

Wowzers!

I am so grateful for this gospel and for the opportunity to share it with others in Mexico. I have discovered that the best way to grow in the gospel is by sharing it. 

"More people have obtained a testimony while standing up trying to bear it than down on their knees praying for it." - Brigham Young

"A testimony is to be found in the bearing of it. As you give that which you have, there is replacement, with increase!" - Boyd K. Packer

"The most important learnings of life are caught - not taught." -Elder Bednar


I encourage you all to go out of your way to share your testimony, share the goodness of this gospel, and I promise you that you will feel a closer connection to God and an even greater desire to live the gospel.

"God is as close to you as you let Him be." - Hugh B. Brown

Have an outstanding week!!
