Character of Christ...

Hey hey it’s a great day to be a missionary!! Being a missionary is so fun and has literally changed my life!  I love teaching the Gospel and meeting new people. Hope you all had a great week and are staying safe and happy!

My time in Pasadena and the Sistrict has sadly come to an end… It was very sad to say bye to Pasadena and all the amazing missionaries and people I met there! I was transferred to Port Arthur!  They call the zone Bromont because this zone is literally like all dudes hahaha. Its a party.  This is kinda crazy last zone conference when I saw elder’s orielly and merriam #CVGANG at the multi zone Christmas conference I joked with Pres about putting us together as companions but hey instead he put us in the same apartment! And I live in the same complex as elder merriam so I see them everyday! It’s so sick here the only downside is the apartment we are in is a 4 person apartment with only one bathroom so the mornings are kinda crazy.  I went from having my own bathroom in Pasadena to sharing one with 3 other people. Also my last comp served here a year ago and literally everyone in area book hasn’t been contacted since then so me and my new comp have been going to town cleaning up area book and finding.  


I’ve been trying to expand my dome recently and I wanted to share something I have found in my studies. I also got roasted by the spirit so hard. During our first District Council he made an anouncement saying not to use headphones anymore to listen to talks in personal study and I just thought it was stupid so I was like whatever and I was about to use my headphones and just had the thought to quickly turn to a random page in Preach my Gospel and you wouldn’t believe what I topic turned to…. OBEDIENCE. Like straight up roasted I still don’t know why I shouldn’t but like what are the odds of that so I will obedientley listen to the spirit even when I dont fully understand following rules.  But anyways I was reading in Matthew and listened to a talk called The Character of Christ and started thinking about the Atonement. Elder Bednar said during the talk “Christ turns out to others when we would turn in.”  That just hit hard, I’ve been trying to study the Christlike attribute of charity. Which is literally the pure love of Christ.  This has helped me so much.  I’ve seen myself have a greater love for the people I’m around and the people I teach.  The more I study about Christ the more happiness I have in my life, and the more grateful I become for everything! Right now I’m especially grateful for my loving family and all they do for me. I’ve truly been blessed with the best! There’s nowhere else I’d rather be than here serving the Lord in Texas! Missionary work is awesome!!


Love you all have a great week!
