We had such an amazing week this last week! Tashia is now baptized, her dad blessed the sacrament, and now we find and prepare for May. It has been amazing to meet with these wonderful families in Kentucky! They are so nice and are always willing to try new things.
Elder Anderton and I have been running every morning at 5:45! We go about 2.5 miles and then we play basketball from 6:15 till 7! It is the greatest time!! Who would have thought that i'd be up this early and be okay with it!?!? haha not me! But gosh we can get so much more done when we get up this early! We study for 2 hours, and we exercise for a little over an hour! So amazing!!
I have realized while on this crazy mission that stress really drives me. I hate stress, but I love it at the same time. When I don't have any stress I feel like i'm not being productive! But I use the stress to drive me, not to tear me down, and that has been awesome to see that change!
I love this work, and I love helping other missionaries see the vision of this work! Now I just want all of the members of the church to see the vision of this work! "Now is the time for members and missionaries to come together, to work together, to labor in the Lords vineyard, to bring souls unto him". We must heed the call of our beloved Prophet. :)
For it being Easter, I really have been studying the Resurrection a lot. I mean, I love the Easter bunny don't get me wrong, but I think the Resurrection is a little more important :)
I invite everyone to read Mosiah chapter 16, focusing on vs 6-9. "And now if Christ had not come into the world, speaking of things to come as though they had already come, there could have been no redemption. And if Christ had not risen from the dead, or have broken the bands of death that the grave should have no victory, and that death should have no sting, there could have been no resurrection. But there is a resurrection, therefore the grave hath no victory, and the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ. He is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened; yea and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more death. It is amazing to know that we can be redeemed and have our guilt and pains swept away!
I love you all so much!!
