Mission Scripture

Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.

Alma 26:12

About Me

I am a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The Ohio Cincinnati Mission was dissolved and I have been reassinged to the West Virginia Charleston Mission. I am currently serving in Salem, Virginia. I am enjoying sharing the gospel. It is wonderful to watch people's lives change as they accept the gospel. I have learned that the Lord always listens to us and answers our prayers. I have enjoyed helping people. The service that I have given has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my mission.

The Funeral

alright well if anyone would like to read this at the funeral then you are allowed to:
this past week as i always do i include all the family in my nightly prayer, on about wednesday or thursday night as i was praying for Heavenly Father to watch over grandpa vern i felt a little uneasy and that something might be wrong. on friday we started teaching a man named doug stevens, doug experienced something really interesting. about 3 years ago he had a heart attack in the which he died for a period of time then went into a coma, during the time in which he was dead he told us about an experience he had, he told us that he saw both of his parents, he also said that he was in a place where for the first time in his life he was free from all his pains and things that burdened him in his life (much of the same feelings that are described in alma 40:11-12). as i read him those versus he got really big goosbumps and he said that that is the same thing he experienced. yesterday at church president robbins called and told me what had happened, when we went back into the church a little girl was playing on the piano, "families can be together forever" i thought that was really interesting and maybe meant to be. i know that it is only through the ordinances performed in the Holy Temples that families can be together forever. i love you all and i continue to pray for you.
love

ps- make sure to add that doug stevens said that if he ever goes there again he said he would never come back...
