Meek in Mena?
Friends and Family!!!!!!!!
The spirit of conversion is
reaaalll yooo!!!!
John got baptized this week
after 2 years of investigating the church. That just makes it so obvious to me
that it is never the missionary or the lesson or anything that converts
somebody, but truly the spirit. I know that the Lord had a specific time and
loves John Hayes!!! Because of how long he investigated a ton of people were
friends with him and so his baptism was huuuggeee. I will send pictures later
but sooo awesome!!! Sorry for the late email by the way, I hosted a huge Minute
to Win it event today. hahaha

Also this week Elder Green has been
transferred :( I will be super sad to leave Elder Nau and Mingo Valley!!! I am
going to Mena Arkansas!!!! I will be serving with Elder Durrant who I have no
idea who that is. But also Elder Hess will be serving in the area right next to
me and I am sooooo pumped. I am pretty nervous to be in Mena. It is the most
out there part of the mission. There are only like 3 families in the ward there in Mena so it definitely will be interesting.
I had a cool thought this week.
While biking in the rain I did what I always seem to do... Hit Mud hahaha and
it splashed up and some spots got on my shirt. I was super embarrassed walking
around with mud spots all over my white shirt. We were way too far away to go
get a different shirt so I just had to deal with it. That made me think about
how we would feel if we had to walk around stained with our sins. It is so easy
to put up a fake face and look like you don’t have any problems or have
struggles. Often times people will think Mormons are all perfect and have no
sins or flaws. But how awkward would we all feel if our sins could be seen on
the outside. I am so grateful for the Atonement and the power that we have to
wash our sins clean so that one day we don’t have to feel dirty in the presence
of God!
I wanted to make a huge 16th birthday next week shoutout to MY MAIN MANNNN Tommy greeeeennnn! He is the best kid I have ever met and
I love him so much. I always think about how far that kid has come and the
awesome dancer he is now. I heard he killllleeed it this week in Vegas and I am
so proud of him and love him.
Also happy B day to Mikaela
frost.
Also I love and miss you all!
