Heart Full of Gratitude


Hi friends and family,

Happy New Year!! I'm excited I get to dedicate all of 2020 to serving the Lord. Highlight of my week was definitely church this Sunday. We had 6 of our friends come to church plus Rebecca who has been inactive for around 10 years now. Seeing Rebecca at church with a smile on her face brought me indescribable joy!!! We sang "count your blessings" in sacrament meeting and my heart just filled with so much gratitude. The Spirit was so strong. I have so many things to be grateful for, and right now I am just extra grateful that I get to be here in Australia, as an instrument in God's work, and that I get to be a part of these faith building experiences. I get to help others come to know their Savior better, and it really is what brings me the most joy. I love my life because it is centered around Jesus Christ. 

Yesterday we all fasted and prayed for rain in Australia. I have faith that God will bless us with rain. My companions are carrying an umbrella in our car, just waiting for the rain, because we know it will come. I am safe, but so many others are not. Please keep us and all of Australia in your prayers this week.

I love you guys! Please please let me know if I can help with anything. I would invite you all to set a goal for this new year that will help you grow closer to Jesus Christ. I can promise that if you do this, you will find more happiness than you've ever experienced. He is the light, the life, and the hope of the world.
