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.

Hello

hi everyone how are you doing? i have been in georgetown for almost a week now. we have been doing a lot of tracting since the sisters that were here previously only focused on working with less active members. we have been tracting almost everyday so far, it isn't my favorite thing because being out in the cold takes a lot out of you and it makes you really tired in the morning...especially during personal study. on wednesday we went tracting and we met a family whose last name is the s. so on wednesday we talked to them and they invited us in and they reaaaalllllyyyy like their cigs. they smoked probably 10 during the time we were there. we just shared a short message with them and then we went back to their house/trailer yesterday and gave them lesson one/ the restoration (god is our loving heavenly father, the gospel blesses families, prophets, the saviors earthly ministry, the apostasy, the restoration through joseph smith, the book of mormon, and pray to know) while we were teaching them we could tell that the spirit was telling them what were teaching them was true because they only smoked probably 2 cigs in an hour and 15 minutes. i think they have a lot of potential and i hope we will be able to share with them more. Yesterday we had ward conference then after that there was a pot luck dinner which was really nice because we got to eat real food and store up on food so we won't have to spend as much each day. at the pot luck they had a lot of normal food but one family raises rabbits and brought some rabbit stew. so obviously i tried some, it didn't really have much of a taste to it and while i was eating it i could only picture a little white rabbit in my mind and its long hairs getting stuck on my tongue or in my teeth. then one of the young men came up to me and asked me how i liked it, i said it was alright then one of the men in the stake presidency asked him how old it was and what its name was and all that. they said it was born in september then they killed it in december but it didnt have a name.

Marci- will you send me some church music on cds? send me my efy cds and other stuff like that...also get merideth to send me pictures of owen...cause she hasn't and i asked her to when i was at the mtc. i hope everything is going well and look forward to talking to you soon.
