Another Day Another Dolla'

Another day another dolla' my friends. 

Its been a good week out here in Memphis (or rather Bartlett). 

My areas so far (all two of them) have had discernible smells. Paragould was cigarette smoke and Memphis is weed. The word of wisdom is true. 

This morning we went and walked

across the bridge over the Mississippi River. Cool stuff. One time the

Mississippi ran backwards for three days. 

I'm so thankful for the birthday wishes and what not from y'all. I felt much love. 

This week we had a zone conference with the entire Tennessee side of the

mission. It was amazing. There were some talks given by the mission

medical team about companionship unity. They suggested we read two

talks, "Beware of Pride" by President Benson and "Lord, is it I?" By

President Uchtdorf. I loved reading the talk by President Uchtdorf.

What a cool concept that when Jesus Christ told His apostles that one

of them would betray him, none of them looked around pointing fingers,

accusing others of being the one. Instead, they each looked within

themselves and their own person commitment, and asked the piercing

question, "Lord, is it I?". When issues arise in our relationships are

we fast to point fingers and put the blame on others? Or do we search

ourselves for how we can improve. It takes a lot of humility to ask

the Lord what we lack. But, the moment we stop doing this is the

moment we stop improving. I'm reminded of the idea of the refiners

fire. Through trial we become moldable. Our Father in Heaven has the

ability to help us become the person He intends us to be, which is far

better than anything we could ever become on our own. My time spent as

a missionary thus far has truly changed me, which I am SO thankful

for. I know that in a year I will return completely renewed and

reborn. I don't feel that I've lost myself, but rather found who I'm

truly meant to be through the atonement of Jesus Christ. He is good

and the gospel is true. "And the Lord said unto me: Marvel not that

all mankind, yea, men and women, all nations, kindreds, tongues and

people, must be born again; yea, born of God, changed from their

carnal and fallen state, to a state of righteousness, being redeemed

of God, becoming his sons and daughters; And thus they become new

creatures" (Mosiah 27:25-26).

Your love, support, and prayers are felt daily.

MUCH LOVE,
