A good Week

 Every week is always great. 


We got to go to the Saratoga Springs Temple open house with a guy we are teaching. IT WAS AWESOME. I love being in the temple and it is always so peaceful. At the end as we were about to leave there is a painting of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane and he stopped and was looking at it. I asked why he thought Christ did that and he said he doesn't know. So I gave him 1 Nephi 19:9 to read right there and his eyes just lit up and he was like WOW. He and I felt the Spirit hit us, it was a great experience. I know that Jesus Christ did everything because He loves God and He loves us.


There was a few experiences where I had the thought to go the long way home or a different way home or to an appointment and we were led to many people who are either struggling, or aren't members and we were able to teach them. 


1 girl we have been trying to start teaching for a few weeks we were able to talk with her whole family outside. As we were talking the girl out of the blue just says, "I want to get baptized" She came to stake conference this week all on her own💪💪


I have grown a very strong passion for studying the scriptures. There is so much we can learn from the scriptures no matter what stage of life we are in. 2 scripture passages from the New Testament and the Book of Mormon I've been pondering this week are

1. Matthew 8

19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. 

      AND

1 Nephi 11-14



Love yall

Riley's Farewell and Setting Apart

Image
 Riley's farewell talk at church was super special. We had all kinds of friends come to see him. Chris and Brandon (of course), from work was Troy, Rob and Mark, plus the Heaven family. The Zemp's, Tatlow's, Cutler's and Molcak's. Meshak, Nate. Of course the Lee's. I had a long ago friend, Gena, drive down from Edmonton to be with us. Plus on Zoom we had The Crenshaw's and Droegemueller's from Idaho Falls, Steven Tran, Grandma and Grandpa Martin, Grandpa and Champ, Tyler Baker family, and Grams and Victor and Shail!  The Dean Girls all sang Go and Do, Riley gave his talk on Service, which I was told was very genuine and humble. Brandon gave the closing prayer. It was a good day. Riley's talk I have been asked to speak on service. Now  service in the dictionary says, “the action of  helping or doing work for someone.” And don’t  get me wrong this is a correct definition but I  found another definition that I prefer it says, “to love, care, repair, mai...

  Sorry everyone...its been a while since my last email. I've gotten insanely busy it's crazy hahaha, it's good tho. I will try not to make this too long but I'll get the best parts of the last week's... So first off Griffin got baptized!!! He was such an awesome kid. He was so excited to get baptized. After he got baptized and got dressed he was jumping up and down saying he got baptized!!! Zion got baptized. He is 13 years old and about 6'5" he's such an awesome kid. His sister is 8 and she also got baptized with him. We promised him we would play basketball one time with him and it was so fun. He is such a smart kid already he already has his own business and he is managing it all himself   so crazy The 4 kids in the bottom picture are so awesome. So we have talked with the Mom in the past about getting the 9 and 12 year old baptized and she said she wants to wait a lil longer, and that was a few weeks ago. Then this week I was on exchange with anoth...

FIRST SNOWFALL HERE❄🥶

  What up everyone... I hope yall are doing wonderful!!! Been thinking about all of you. We went to A LOT of Christmas parties this week... we helped out a ton. One of them we dressed up and I was a tax collector, and we greeted people for a live nativity. Another one we cut so much ham  another one we set up the lights which took forever   But in one of the parties it was evident that GODS TIMING IS PERFECT. So we were running a little late because we had a message with a family. But we showed up and I actually had to go to the bathroom  and then after that the party was having like a group thing. The groups would go to s few different classes and here a story or do an activity before everyone just goes to the gym and eats. We'll because of the perfect timing, we were in a group with a family who has a son that isn't baptized. So we got to know them and we ate dinner with them and they are so awesome!!!! And then next day they called us and had us over to play ...
