Wow. All I can say is WOW!

Please tell me you all watched that incredible MTC Broadcast yesterday!!!!! If you haven't already, please watch it this coming week. Do it for FHE or something! It was incredible. Every member of the church needs to see that. WOW. The lowering of the missionary age was a huge change, only naturally to be succeeded by new and improved ways of doing missionary work. These are things that have been put into practice for a while, it's in Preach My Gospel, and now they had this wonderful broadcast to get all the members in on it! That is how missionary work needs to be.

I just want to bare my testimony to all of you about the power you have as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Every single one of us has the responsibility to invite others to Christ, whether they are already members or not. Once we are converted, it is our responsibility to strengthen our brethren (Luke 22:32). Sharing the gospel is an act of faith. When you are in the service of God, He is obligated to help you. I see this all the time in my mission. When we purify ourselves, deepen our personal conversion, and ask in faith for the Lord to help us share the gospel, He always blesses us with His spirit to know how to do it. Full-time missionaries are no different than any member of the church. Each one of you can do this. We all need to work together in doing this work! Mom, Dad, Cassie, Wade, Sarah, Cali, and any other wonderful family members and friends: will you each exercise your faith by praying tonight, with real intent, that the Lord will use you as an instrument in sharing His gospel? I promise you that if you exercise your faith, the Lord will bless you with these opportunities. We just need to open our mouths, be good examples, be good friends and neighbors, be good disciples of Jesus Christ. I'm sure you are all already doing great things to help this work roll forth, but every one of us can always do a little better. I love you all so much and the Lord will help you in doing His work!

Also, we got to go to the temple this week! So basically we've been on a huge spiritual high. I LOVE the temple. I want to help everyone be able to enter the temple some day and make those covenants. It all starts with us helping people grow in faith, repent, and then be baptized and confirmed. That is our role in helping them get there.

We have an AMAZING district this transfer. We had such a good district meeting last week, I love how unified we are. It's another awesome example of how when we all work together in doing this work, we see miracles!

So many good lessons this week. Victor and Teresa have previously been kind of on the fence, and yesterday they said they want to come to our church and feel for themselves if it is true. Victor even said he thinks God probably sent us to them so that they could her this message. Wow. I love seeing hearts change. Lupe has previously been hesitant and kind of scared to change. We helped her see that if she makes the change first, her family will follow her good example. We told her we'd like her to be a member of Jesus Christ's church, and we want her family, in their own time, to follow her. She said that is what she wants, and she agreed to come on a church tour with us this week, and she is even going to invite a few friends to hear our message. Wow.

Too many stories to tell. This work is amazing. We can all take part in it and help each other out! We are all brothers and sisters, we need to work together in strengthening each other so that all of us can return home to live with our loving Heavenly Father. We can be one giant eternal family! Temple work, missionary work, it is all God's work of binding together dispensations. This is it. I love it. I love being a missionary.

I love you all so much! Thank you for your wonderful examples of spreading the gospel!
