Happy

Hi friends and family, 

WHERE ARE YOU? 

ARE YOU HAPPY? 

This week in our mission conference with Elder and Sister Johnson they shared a story about a close friend that would call them asking these two questions and invited us to ask ourselves these same questions. So now I'm asking you: where are you and are you happy? If you're not happy what can you do to change that? 

As I have pondered on these questions, I've been able to adjust a few things, including my focus! Centering it even more on Jesus Christ and His charitable example. Being more sincere in my prayers and doing everything with real intent. 

In the Toronto Stake Conference Elder Carter, an area seventy, shared some words that touched me. While talking about faith he shared an experience Elder Bednar had with someone he was going to give a blessing to. He asked this man who was sick, "do you have faith not to be healed?" meaning do you trust Him enough to be okay with whatever the outcome is? That is the faith that matters to Him and that is the faith I hope to have. 

In the Toronto Stake Conference, we also had the chance to hear President Ensign share the beautiful message of the Restoration and I pray I never forget the feelings I felt while he share the first vision. I loved his emphasis on the truths that prophets, scripture, activities in the temple, priesthood, authority, miracles, angels (LOTS OF THEM) have been restored just as they were in the past. 

I know the message us missionaries get to share is true. I know it is centered around Jesus Christ. I know that He lives. I know that because He lives, I can live free from guilt, sorrow and pain. I when I ask myself "where are you? Are you happy?" I can answer with a confident YES! 

A few miracles this week.

-We had a humble daughter of God reach out to us asking for help to get back on the covenant path! As she opened up to us we received spiritual promptings to know what to say!

-We were able to put Melissa on date for March 13!!! When we asked her how she felt she responded "I WANNA DO IT!!" She texted us after the lesson asking how she can prepare for her baptism! She is so amazing and so prepared!

-We met with our friend Tawsif and followed up to see if he prayed about baptism and he's now preparing for March 20th!!!

God is at the head of this Church! He loves you. I love you. 

Have a super duper dynamite week :)
