How good is your relationship with God?



Lately I have had a lot of time to meditate, pray, and reflect on my life and think about how I have felt God helping me through my journeys, and how I've built my relationship with him.



In a world so full of noise, it's often times hard to hear the still small voice of our savior and the spirit. This can cause us to sometimes feel discouraged, disconnected, hopeless, confused, and lost. We might ask ourselves, like Jesus Christ did on the cross, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"



While we may feel he is not there sometimes, through faith, daily prayer, and studying the scriptures, we can communicate with God and build a relationship with him. God loves you individually and he is waiting for you to call on him so he can answer your personal prayers and relieve you from your hardest most troubling burdens.



I recently had an experience where I have had my prayers answered. For as long as I can remember, I prayed for a family member that was close to me who was struggling and going down a hard path in life. After many long years, doubts, fears, frustration, and many mixed emotions, My prayer was finally answered. The wait was worth it because I received more than I could have imagined, and the lords answer was better than any answer I tried to give myself.



I know that God answers our prayers

I know that God is in all the details of our lives

I know that he's there



I promise that as you increase your communication with him by praying often, studying the scriptures daily, and listen for his voice, you will feel him, and you will be surrounded by his arms and love, and you will know with a surety that he is always with you.

A Good Week

Hey!        It hasn't been that long since we last talked! All is well here in Hobbs America. My new companion elder Hepworth is really cool and he lives up to the reputation of being a hard worker. It's been nice to push each other and get lots of work done. We had an incredible day on Saturday where we talked to 31 people and had door step lessons and gave out lots of book of Mormons. It was an exhausting day, but I loved it so much. We have some good appointments set up for this coming week that I'm excited for and some will be with really prepared people, so I'm hoping we can progress with them. Other than that it's been amazing so far and I'm really enjoying it, and hobbs is just getting better and better.        The mission has been a huge Rollercoaster these past 18 months. It's amazing how big the highs are and how hard the lows are, but they are good teaching moments that I'm grateful for. I've gotten out of that wired rut of feeling like...

The Magnificent Work Of The Lord

Look who's back      Man what a great conference weekend. I enjoyed this conference so much and it was probably one of the most memorable and enjoyable conference experiences I've had. This was my last time being able to watch conference as a set apart missionary and it just meant a lot to me to hear about the gathering of israel as my mission is coming to a close here in a few short months. I hope yall enjoyed it as well and got spiritually uplifted in the places that you needed to be. I want you guys to pause for a second and brace yourselves for impact. Maybe buckle your seat belts if you will. We're about to talk about an eventful week. Last week I mentioned how we were planning on talking about baptism with a few of our friends. Well we extended invitations to 6 of our friends and they all accepted it! We are going to be baptizing Waldo on the 20th this month (unless I get transfered) and Yvette with her 4 kids on May 11th. We had some pretty incredible lessons ...

TLM (Trenchcoat Loving Mission)

Image
Howdy doodly!      Picture this: We're all having a good time and enjoying life as it goes. Things are going so smooth that it begins to be a little suspicious, and thats when it hit me, that darn trenchcoat. See, last pday my companion and I went thrift shopping with the other missionaries. Unbenounced to me, I would see it. I would come to regret it. The women's trench coat. He buys a women's trench coat and has worn it everyday since. If I didn't know any better I would think he showers, and sleeps in it. I was also given special permission via request, to write about this in today's episode. We were supposed to have a great week with more than 10 lessons, but they all punched through and canceled. Every. Single. One. The same week my companion decides to wear this trenchcoat. Coincidence? I think not. Illuminati confirmed. There must be a spirit attached to it, or maybe a curse, legend has it. Either way it's bad luck. (Its probably not related at all but I ...
