Happy Day

Hello one and all!

I hope everyone has had a great week, because I know that I have! 

This week has been pretty busy around the Cadillac area.  We had a huge 2 Zone training this week in Midland. It was great! I loved being back in my little happy town of Midland. It was funny, a few missionaries had gotten there a little bit early to practice a musical number before the zone training and called me very flustered and said, "no one is here yet! Do you know the pass-code to get in?" Well of course I did, it turned out that the people from Midland were about the last ones to show up, so I ended up unlocking the whole building. 

The conference was absolutely amazing. There were some wonderful trainings. One training that I loved was by an Elder who talked about being "All in". That in life we can't just hang on the side lines, but with everything we have, to go about it with full force. That when it comes down to the end of the day, are we going to sign our name at the end of it, by our saviors name and be proud of what we did that day?  It was very profound and I was so grateful to have that reminder. I know it can apply to all of us in our day to day life. Are we making our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ proud of what we do? Are we living with no regret? 

We also were able to have a lot of wonderful lessons this week. Right now we have a few very wonderful investigators, who are willing to do whatever they need to do in order to fully commit themselves to the gospel. Sometimes it is scary, hard and not always the most appealing, but I can promise all of you, that as you put your Heavenly Father and his son, Jesus Christ first in your life, the windows of heaven will open and his blessing will literally be poured out upon you. I know this to be true because I see it in my life every single day. They love us and care about us. You think about the love you have for your children, family and friends. Multiply that by infinity and that is how much your Heavenly Father and Savior love you. Un-measurable, un-describable and untouchable love!  What an amazing thought! 

We also got to go to a place called Sleeping Bear Dunes, for zone P-day. We played around in the dunes, threw footballs, played volleyball and jumped down cliffs. We also had a BBQ which was great. I even got a little bit of sun. I am slowly getting some tan lines!!

President Hoover joined us and it was a blast. He is so amazing. That man is probably one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever met. We hiked around with him for a few hours and he just told us so many amazing things. He really opened my eyes to somethings. One thing is in Doctrine and Covenants chapter 4. I invite you all to study it and I would love to hear your thoughts and then I will share what he shared with me :)

I love you all so very much. I am so grateful to be serving the Lord at this time! I want you all to know that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God, and that he is the prophet of the Restoration. There are so many things that are said good and bad things said about him, but you have to remember first off that man isn't perfect and secondly, that where truth is the adversary works the hardest to conflict us. 

I love the gospel of Jesus Christ and I pray each of you can continue to develop a testimony of our Savior and of his gospel and the Prophet Joseph Smith. 

Have a wonderful day and remember that Heaven is cheering you on today, tomorrow and forever!!
