10/20/12

This week has been mostly normal. Not many downs, but not many ups.
 
The work is steadily increasing in the area. All of the investigators we started with have dropped off, and we now have some absolutely amazing people that are choosing to learn about the gospel of Jesus Christ.
 
This week I haven't had any real noteworthy experiences or insights. So just remember, God loves you. He put you here to succeed and wants you to return to live with him. Aceept Christ as your personal Savior and follow his teachings.
 
Love you all!

start of week 8 (i know its a week late) :)

Today is the first day of Week eight, and my oh my, has week seven been eventful. With the awesome Mission Conference, amazing devotionals on Sunday and  Tuesday , and a super awesome surprise that I'll tell you all later.   So, for the gospel topic of the week, it's a continuation on the Atonement.   In Moses  6:59 -60 it states: 59 That by reason of transgression cometh the fall, which fall bringeth death, and inasmuch as ye were born into the world by water, and blood, and the  a spirit , which I have made, and so became of  b dust  a living soul, even so ye must be  c born again  into the kingdom of heaven, of  d water , and of the Spirit, and be cleansed by blood, even the blood of mine Only Begotten; that ye might be sanctified from all sin, and  e enjoy  the  f words  of  g eternal life  in this world, and eternal life in the world to come, even immortal  h glory ; 60 For b...

Jesus wants me for a sunbeam!

One of the best ways I've found to get out of negativity, is to ignore it and move on to something more cheerful. Presently, it's the song, "Jesus Wants me for a Sunbeam." It's such a simple song, without deep doctrinal content, but it brings such a spirit of peace to my mind. Sometimes that's what we need. A quite and peaceful distraction from the noise that's around us. Challenge for the week, look for quite moments to notice the beauty of God's creation. Sing a hymn or song that reminds you of your relationship with God. Read the Book of Mormon at least 5 minutes a day. You will find more enjoyment in life. :) Love, Elder Ryan

Prepping for Christmas - 12/23/13

So... Christmas is coming! It doesn't feel much like Christmas time, but the spirit is definitely here. It's not cold, on the contrary, it's pretty hot, and is going to be around 90 degrees on Wednesday. We'll be going to a baptism in the city on Christmas day, as well as spending time with families in the ward.   on a side note, I made some very tasty Caramel. :)   With Love, Elder Ryan
