One Year

It's going well up here in northern Idaho! Post Falls is turning out to be full of less actives and in-actives so we've been trying to contact all of them and to re-activate them. It's been hard because there aren't that many investigators here and most of the people don't want to listen. But that's what missionary life is all about! I have really been reading the 5 lessons more than I ever had! At Temple Square I could look at my Preach my Gospel while I was on the phone, but here it's all from memory so I've been trying to memorize scriptures. I do have some under my belt, but I need a lot more! I love this work and it's so amazing to be a part of the Lord's army right now! I passed my year mark on September 12. That is when I entered the MTC a year ago and I just can't believe that it's already been a year since I first came out. Sometimes it feels like yesterday and sometimes it feels like 5 years! The Lord has His hand in everything and I am so appreciative of Him and what He's done. It's been sad to come over my year mark, but I must remember to use every moment we have to share the Gospel. You're only a missionary once and you have all of eternity to think about it. That goes for everything we do. We have eternity to think about what we've done and what we can do in this life. We need to make every second count to do the things of the Lord. Remember 2 Nephi 25:26 "And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins." We can try doing this every day to think about Christ. Thanks for all your support! I love you all!!
