December 4, 2017 Short and Sweet

Life is good in Jax Beach area. We baptized Torry this week and it was such a spiritual experience. This week I dont have much time to write so I will just share my testimony.My week has been awesome! Torry had an amazing baptism and the spirit was so strong. He is 340 lbs and had Joe Novack baptise him which he probably weighs 130 and is older. When torry went under, his feet slipped out from under him and there was a struggle getting back out of the water. Haha but in the end it all worked out. Torry got confirmed the same day.

Bishop Wadell the presiding bishop of the whole church was the speaker durring part of it and his talk he gave was amazing and was focused on going out and finding the one. This christmas we need to focus on Jesus Christ and do our best to become like him!

Light the world program is going great! People are very accepting of it more than hearing our message about our church. Also we get to go to the temple once a year! I wish we could go more but I guess its better than never!

This week I was studying in Alma 55-63 and into helaman. Something that didn't really ever stand out to  me is that Helaman had his people fordify their citys so much that the lamenites couldn't even shoot arrows over or get to the walls. This is something we can apply to our lives by showing that we want the same strength in our life and we can spiritually build up our walls so that no temptation or trials can overtake us! I love you and hope you have another amazing week! 

I love this gospel so much and have seen so many blessings from it. The church is awesome and as we live by the teachings, we will be blessed so much and become like Christ and Heavenly Father! I am so greatful for all that I have learned and all the kindness of everyone in my life. I know that this Christmas season, as we light the world, we will bless others and get blessings in our lives as well. 
I love you all and hope you have an amazing week!
