Alii Everyone!

Hey I am back in Guam! Saturday was a long day. Our plane took off at 3:30 am and we arrived in Guam around 6:30am. Once we landed we headed straight to clean the Church building. After cleaning I accompanied one of the Guam Zone Leader’s to do some service work; then the balance of the day was spent teaching! (I did not sleep for 24 hours! Ha-ha crazy.) I was so tired Saturday evening; but it was super fun day!

Mission Leadership Conference was good. We learned about helping people keep commitments.

We had three investigators come to Church while we were away! (Now that is awesome) Our investigator “J” came. He struggles with depression but he knows that God and the Church will help him. He is getting better and happier. I really feel for “J”. I too have struggled with feelings of depression and self-worth in the past. Mostly in High School.

I did not know who I was or why I even mattered. Learning the Gospel of Jesus Christ on my mission and the plan of salvation has completely changed that. I know that I am a Child of God and that he loves me and has a plan for me. I know that God wants me to succeed and I know with the help of his Son I can. I know “J” can and will feel this too! BECAUSE THE CHURCH IS TRUE AND EVERYDAY IS A GREAT DAY!

I do not know what else to write. I am trying to work very hard and diligently during these last months of my mission. It seems that all the days are just starting to blur together…

I know that church is true. I know God lives and loves us. I know he is with us always. I know that this work is true and I love every minute of it. I will do it for the rest of my eternal life.

I Love You ALL!
