Thankful

Happy Tuesday my friends:)) 

I am so thankful for so many reasons this thanksgiving! In 3 Nephi 10:10 it says that "mourning was turned into joy (...) and thanksgiving unto the Lord Jesus Christ, their Redeemer." He is who I am most thankful for at this time, and I'm thankful for scriptures that help us come closer to Him! 

This week was the best week because I got to spend all my extra time studying the Book of Mormon. I know this book is a book of power! It brings a calm into our lives, and really helps us feel our Savior near! 

Our amazing recent convert, Lesha, who got baptized in a pool a few months ago finally made it to church in person for the first time this week! She is remarkable and really makes me reflect on a few things. Our amazing friend Lesha had never been to church in person, had never had internet connection so was unable to have so many of the study resources, yet she immersed and continues to immerse herself in the Book of Mormon. She calls us and gives us summaries of her studies and what she's learning and how it makes her feel! She is fully converted to her Savior Jesus Christ with her Book of Mormon. She shows me that the Book of Mormon combined with the Spirit really is the most powerful tool in conversion.

If you're struggling or feeling down, or wondering if God even knows what you're going through. If you feel lonely or lost or confused I would invite you to open up the Book of Mormon and read from the pages. This book has changed my life and the lives and of those around me, and I know it will change yours for the better. I can promise you that it will bring hope, light and peace into your life because it is centered around our Savior Jesus Christ. He can make every hard situation bearable, even joyful! 

I love the gospel of Jesus Christ that is explained simply and powerfully in the Book of Mormon. I know that my Redeemer lives. I love all of you. I pray that we will all continue to have thankful hearts moving forward, despite thanksgiving weekend being over! We have every reason to be thankful and happy that is because of Jesus Christ! 

Have a happy week, I love you with my whole heart! 

Got to spend the day with Sister Smith before she flew home. She was my angel I miss her already!!!
