Houston, we have a baptism!

Image
Hello, One last time! :') Houston was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this weekend! It was so powerful. The spirit was tangible.  It is such a bittersweet feeling to know this is my last pday and last email. I feel so much peace and fulfillment that the last 18 months of my life have been in the service of my God.  Around 4 years ago I prayed about how I wanted to serve a mission and asked Him if that was in line with His will for me. Heavenly Father led me to a verse in Doctrine and Covenants chapter 4 that says "..if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work". This was one of the rare times where my prayer was answered specifically and written out right in front of me.  Since then, I have received many more answers to my prayers. Some answers came miraculously soon, and some took days even weeks or months. Some prayers of mine are still being answered, but I know that as I ask in faith, and do what I ...

Groundhogs & Piano Guys

Hello! So this week we celebrated groundhogs day at Jeff's by picking rock out of holes and planting trees! :) We also went to a devotional with Jon Schmidt - the piano guy - and his wife. It was incredible! They lost their daughter about 2 years ago in a tragic accident and they spoke about the peace, comfort and added strength beyond their own they recieved during the 2 month process of looking for their daughter and ultimately finding her body. Their experiences were incredible and the Spirit was tangible in that meeting. He also shared cool miracles that have happened that made it possible for some of the crazy stunts the piano guys pull - like putting a piano at a castle in Scotland and finding a pipe band in a day and teaching them the music in 45 mins (side note.. definitely look up Piano Guys "Fight Song/Amazing Grace" in Scotland... its incredible)  We had an awesome lesson with James over facebook messenger and taught him about temples and the need for ...
