Hey Y’all!
This week has been cold again. It’s kinda getting old but whatever. It’s been
in the 30's and 40's all week. Yesterday we woke up and it was 40 then after church it was 25! These cold
fronts move in quick! Then it was cold for the rest of the day and then it
snowed last night. At least stay consistent! haha It was 15 degrees and snowing
when we left the apartment this morning! Crazy man!
Anyhow, this week I got a new companion. Elder
Lloyd! He is super cool! He's from a small town called Grace in Idaho! He's a
farm boy, so you could say that we get along pretty well :) He's been out for
20 months so if you email or write him don’t mention that. We don’t want him to
get trunky!! But he's a super awesome guy and a hard worker!
On Wednesday night we got to go to the Nashville Tribute
concert! They came to Oklahoma City and the Missionaries got to go for free!
Nashville tribute is a LDS band just in case y’all were wondering! They said
they play redneck Mormon music hahaha. It’s pretty awesome stuff! The album
they performed is called Redeemer. It is a tribute to Jesus Christ and his
ministry. Y’all should go check it out because it’s awesome and it brings the
spirit so strong! Before the concert they took all the missionaries backstage
to meet the band! That was super cool! I got to shake hands with Tim Gates, Jason
Deere and Dan Trumann's! For those of you who don’t know, Dan Trumann is a
member of Diamond Rio!! I was so excited! Then right before the show was about
to start we all said a prayer together! It was so powerful!
But we've had our Ward
game night this week and what we call the "Why I believe" fireside.
It’s where they select 3 people who joined the church as adults and they share
their conversion story. It was so good!
But this week has been
a lot of knocking doors and talking to people which is good! We have 2 new
investigators who are really promising! And if all goes well we'll have 6 new
investigators! We have a lot of appointments set for this week so it should be
a good one!
This week I have been
studying a lot about what will happen after this life and how we need to
prepare for that time. We read in Matthew 25 about the parable of the 10
virgins and how some of them were prepared to meet the Bridegroom and some were
not. We need to look at ourselves and our lives and ask ourselves are we ready
to meet our savior when He comes again? What are we doing to prepare for the
second coming of the Savior? The time is coming quickly and sin is more
prevalent now than ever! Living righteously is so important as we prepare for
this glorious time! Always read the scriptures. They are the directions for
life! Also prayer is so important to keep a strong relationship with our
Heavenly Father. If you are faithful in doing these things I can promise that
you will be prepared to meet your maker when He comes again. I can’t wait!!
Always remember where your blessings come from! Love y’all!
