Farmers Tans

Its been another Hot one in the south! It was very tough but the humidty died down late in the week so i survived. I'm starting to look like a good ole redneck witrh my awesome farmers tan! I'm getting suprisingly tan (not burned mom!)  Dont worry, I wear plenty of sunscreen when i need it! 

So the highlights of the past week! it was a doosie! we have a soild college student who is super interested in what we believe and what we are teaching him. His name is Sam, and he even brought a friend to our discussion! we watched Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration, and it is such an awesome movie! It shows the scrafices of the early church and what everyone went though to organize this church! It was amazing how strong the spirit was in that room! You could cut it with a knife! Not that you would want to! But it was awesome, the member there was in tears and shared her testimony followed by mine and Elder Cliffords, and it was just awesome. It went way better than i though it would! i just love teaching this gospel!. 

There is a quote that i found in that movie that i think is so true for missionary work and everything else relating to the gospel! It says, "The Lord calls us in our weakness, but qualifies us for the work". That comforts me a lot as a missionary i look at myself and say holy smokes I'm not even close to being as good as i should be but i know i can try! He really does call us in our weakness but he qualifies us,he strengthens us and makes it so we can do what we need to do to be able to do his work and keep his gospel moving forward! I know as we look up the steep mountain before us and say " wow thats big, but I'll give it a try' the Lord will make it so we can conquer that mountain in front of us! Through him all things are possible! My favorite scripture Ifound is D&C 84:88 and it says "And whoso areceiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go bbefore your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my cSpirit shall be in your hearts, and mine dangelsround about you, to bear you up." 

I love this cause it goes along with what i was saying earlier as you do the work you will see the lords had in it! So i challenge you all to do alittle act of missionary work this week!

LOVE YOU ALL
