I don't know. Our ward mission leader served with him. He lived in Orem Utah
Well this week has been such a great week. We had a snow storm that came through on tuesday that wasn't all that bad. What you have to understand is people in Virginia anytime they even here the word snow they shut down all the schools, everyone goes to the grocery store and stocks up, then they all bunker down like it's World War III. So what do the missionaries do while everyone is panicing. You guessed it we go knocking on their doors and teach them about the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and bring them the happiness of the Restored Gospel. My Companion and the other missionaries that I live with thought I was crazy for going and working in the snow. I love this work and will never let a little snow or a strom get in my path to bringing people the happiness of the Gospel. Thank you so much for the blanket. It is amazing. I sleep with it every night. It is super warm and comfy. I am not in need of any boots. I am totally fine it's really not that bad. Thank you though for offering to send them out to me. The work in Piedmont is going great. We have an investigator named Ryan that I think that I have told you about. He is such an amazing guy. Yesterday we met with him and taught him about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He was very touched by the power of the Atonement and that we can be forgiven of our sins and be made clean. At the end of the lesson we invited him to pray and he prayed. It was the most amazing prayer that I have ever heard anyone say. IT was so amazing!!! The spirit was so strong. He hasen't decided on a day that he wants to be baptized but he is slowly being prepared by our Heavenly Father to make that covenant with our Heavenly Father. We are also teaching a guy named Brian Stetcher. He is a Catholic to the core. I was wondering if Devin would be willing to send me out Bill Murries Testimony. He is such an amazing guy. He will one day be a very powerful deciple of Jesus Christ and great member of the Church of Jesus Chirst of Latter day Saints. It's such a blessing to be involved in serving so many people in this area.
So this week has been a lot of reflecting for me. I have had moments were I have been able to look on the Saviors life and his Atonemet and gain a greater appriciation for it. It is such a blessing to be able to see the power of the Atonement and come to a better understanding of it. I love it. I invite you guys this week to study the Atonement. Just try to understand how much the Savior Loves us and what he is trying to tell us all though out the Scirptures. There is one message that rings true through my mind. The Savior is simply Saying, "Come, Come follow me." That's all he wants us to do. Nothing else. We make things to complicated in the church with all of our activities and outings but all we really need to worry about is following our Savior Jesus Christ. This week find a way to make the Atonement part of your life. I know that as you do this you will find so much more gratitude in your life. You will also be able to find ways to improve and find ways to loves others more. I know that our Savior Jesus Christ loves each and everyone of us. He knows the way to true happiness and that is why he calls to us and asks us to come and follow him. I know that this church is true. I know that my Savior lives. I love him with all of my heart. I know I am doing the work of the Lord and that this is more that just a two year mission but a mission that I will do for all of eternity. There is nothing greater than the gospel. I love you all and hope you all have a great week. I thank you for everything that you have done for me in helping me stay confident and know that my Savior Loves me. I love you and hope you have a great week. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. With Lots of love and hugs and kisses From Virginia.
