New Year, New Beginnings!

My dear friends,

As this year draws to a close, I would like to invite you all to reflect on the events that have transpired this year, to cherish the good and forget the bad. And most importantly, to remember what the Savior has done and what He has given to each of us. Be grateful for your many blessings and commit to be a better disciple of Jesus Christ. Take up your cross daily and follow Him. In the scriptures, we read that we are to "choose you this day" (Joshua 24:15). With the new year, let us all see it as a new day, a new start, a new opportunity to follow Jesus Christ. He will never forget you for it! I promise you that. In the sacred name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

6 Month Mark of Being a Missionary!

Good day everyone!

Wow, I haven't written on my blog in forever, it seems. Things are just so eventful! My companion and I are meeting and helping people left and right that I hardly ever have the time to stop and write it all down. (Which is a good problem to have.) We get the opportunity to help people temporally and spiritually so that we can help them to come unto Christ. I mean, what more could I ask for? I love it!

Since today marks the 6 month anniversary of the time that I became a full-time missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I feel that I should stop and say a few words about what I have learned. I cannot think of a better thing to post besides my testimony. I know that Jesus Christ lives. He is my Lord and Savior, as He is yours. I know that it is only through Him that we can be saved. He atoned for us. He knows how to help us, comfort us, guide us, and relieve us of our pains, sorrows, and afflictions. Jesus Christ can make us whole again. I know that He can. I bear witness of that in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
