Week 79: 18 months!

Hey Family,

Scripture of the week: Actually it’s a quote this week...

 

"It is by giving our whole hearts to the master and keeping his commandments that we come to know him. in time, through the power of the atonement our hearts are changed and we can become like him" Henry B. Eyring

"Brothers and Sisters, we have a loving Heavenly Father who has designed our earthly existence so that we can individually learn the lessons we need to learn to qualify for eternal life in his presence" Richard Maynes.

 

well hello there. Sounds like it has been quite the eventful week on the home front. Sounds like all in all everyone is doing pretty well. Prayers are with gram this week for sure as she starts chemo. Prayers are also with gram and gramp Z.

 

So as you know this week I hit my 18 month mark. And in all honesty it sucked. I can’t believe I only have 6 more months to serve in this capacity. I don’t know what I'm going to do when this is over, this has totally become who I am. But I’m not gonna worry about it till I get on that plane in 6 months. Till then I’m going to give everything I’ve got to my Father in Heaven. Day in and day out ill give all I can. I truly mean that. I will leave New England with no regrets.

 

So transfer calls come this week. I’m not looking forward to them. As I worry about leaving Bedford. Zone Leaders usually move around a bit more than other missionaries. but we will just have to wait and see what happens. Had a dream that I got to go back to Newport. That would be the coolest thing ever. News about that will be here next week. Elder Holley and I have seen many a miracle here in Bedford, it’s been such a blessing serving here. Amazing how each area turns into your new home if you but let it.

 

Not too much new stuff happened this week. We just did work. Saturday we rode our bikes and helped them with some yard work. It always feels really good to get into work clothes and get dirty.

Sure do love you all though.

 

I too am very grateful for the priesthood and the blessings we have available to us because of it. Always utilize that power in your lives!

 

Love ya

Hold to the Rod
