Good to be a Missionary

Hello everyone!

Another quality week on Temple Square!

1. This week we taught a lot of lessons to our investigators. It's really fun to teach so many different people with so many different backgrounds from so many different places, and still see how the gospel is able to bless all of their lives and fill a different need for every person. That's something I really love is how universal the teachings of Jesus Christ really are, and how He really is the Savior of every person and knows all of us by name and individually. It's a really cool thing!

2. The temple reopened! We're really excited, it's been closed for a long time for cleaning so we're really excited to get to go back. We're so spoiled in our mission to get to go to the temple every transfer, I'm really excited to get to go back this week.

3. The work progresses! Albeit a little slower now that it's colder outside and there aren't so many visitors. But it's still cool to see how those that are here really have been led by our Heavenly Father.One of my favorite things to do are to lead investigator lessons. So with Temple Square, missionaries serving in the surrounding areas can bring their investigators here - but they have to have Sisters from Temple Square with them since it's our area. So it's really fun to get to be a part of a whole bunch of different investigator lessons with different missionaries in the area that bring their investigators here. Many of them will commit their investigators to baptism during the tour, and it's fun to be there and get to feel of the Spirit that's there. I love it!

4. The flowers are all starting to poke out of the ground - I'm really excited for all of them to bloom and for spring to be here. The winter has been pretty mild so they say, but I'm ready for the sunshine again! I'm ready for there to be more people here too! 

That's about it for this week - not a whole lot that's new or exciting, but it's good to be a missionary. I love the work and it's such a great blessing to be here for this short period of my life. 

I know Jesus Christ is our Savior, and I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and that the Book of Mormon is true.

As for everything else... faith works :) 

I love you all! Have a great week!!
