Brother Franko's baptism!!

What a wonderful week. Amongst the most wonderful of my life!

     Monday after emailing I called Brother Franko, and investigator I was teaching that lives downtown. He seemed pretty anxious and asked if he could meet me somewhere, I said sure so we went and met with him. By the way his was planning on being baptized on November 19(yesterday). we got to talk with him and found out his friend has been feeding him a lot of anti-misinformation about the church(anti-garbage). Anyway, we talked with him for a while, bore testimony, prayed, and tried to help him see the truth. He calmed down a lot and went and got more answers and confirmation from God.

     Yesterday we were able to go and witness his baptism. It was and will forever be one of the happiest days of my life. After he was so happy and glowing. He kept telling me he wished that he had made the decision earlier, but I think that the timing was perfect. One of our investigators who wants to be baptized came. And Brother Franko was able to talk a little bit with him. He told him how warm he felt, and how full of peace he was. I was and am as well.

     God be thanked for the matchless gift of His Divine Son. How grateful I am to be a full-times representative of Christ. To go where He would have me go, say what he would have me say, act as He would have me act. To be a living and modern evidence of His reality, Divinity, and perfect love. My heart yearns for the salvation of our Heavenly Father's family.

     I wish i possessed the power in words that would illuminate your minds and fill your hearts with hope and Faith, Faith that would bring unto you repentance and fill your souls with Charity.

    I love you all and wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving! Go do something that has a warrant for another to be grateful to you as a ministering angel!!

I-phones going to Steve's mission, Steve in a minor car accident

Hello all!

It has been an awesome week! We are anxiously and urgently applying everything we learned from our recent zone conference with Elder and Sister Pearson of the 70. We are seeing great fruit and many miracles. I feel very refreshed and as though I have a new heart.

Not sure if I reported this last week, but we finished our 2-week hunger games zone competition. I am happy to inform that "Glimmer"(that's us) took a shining first place, it was a little closer than we thought it would be though haha! We saw many miracles throughout these "games".

Happy to hear everyone back home is doing well! Also forgot to mention last week that elder Milad and I got into a car accident. But all seem to be doing well and our car has still been drivable! We will have to turn it in eventually but for now, we still have it!!

We are really starting to get excited about the repeat Christmas initiative #LightTheWorld !! What a great opportunity to turn our hearts to the Savior this Christmas season and in the future! I love this time of year! Also, side note there were a couple of pretty cold days up here. a type of things to come I'm sure haha. BUT with uncle Tom's head sock, I am ready to brave any storm!

       Also, pretty exciting news we learned just today that our mission is getting iPhones! Don't know exactly when or the process. But as of now missionaries in this mission are "authorized to fulfill their purpose using smartphones, social media, and other technologies. So that's relatively big news!

I am so happy. I feel full of joy and love for my Heavenly Father and all of His children. I feel more connected intimately to Him than ever before, and I am finding I am connecting more and more intimately with His children, my brothers, and sisters every day.

I love you all and hope with my heart and soul that you are allowing our Father in Heaven to support, encourage, lift, and carry you home through the Grace and mercy available because of and by and in His Beloved Son.

Have a great week!

Life changing zone conference with Elder Pearson!

Hello family! This week has been an awesome one!! We are seeing many very powerful miracles!

ONe is that we have someone that really wants to be baptized!! We are excited for her! Unfortunately, she can't be baptized right now but we are still thrilled for her and look forward to when she can!

Another brother wants to be baptized and can be baptized! He is planning on either November 25 or December 3rd! I just met him for the first time yesterday!

My life changed yesterday. We had Elder and Sister Pearson come and do a mission tour. So they ran the Zone Conference yesterday. He said at the start, I invite you to walk out of this chapel today a different person than you walked in. We have prepared, and are sent here with keys from the quorum of the twelve apostles, so it's up to you, are you ready?? Or something very similar to that. Many things were discussed, many powerful principles and Doctrines taught. I cried through most of it, which is actually quite a long time haha. I don't know exactly how to put it into words, or even exactly why yet, but I know that I have a new heart. I feel completely changed, refreshed, and full of love and real peace.

I know that he was sent with Apostolic keys. That he came because the Lord sent him. For me. I know that this church is in the reality the church of Almighty God, even the Eternal Father. I know that I am a Child of God. I know that I am not a kid from Centerville Utah that became a representative of Christ. I am an embassy of the Lord who once was a boy from Utah.

  

  I just know it's true. And it's worth it.

I love you all! Have a great week!
