Spiritual Momentum Is Real

Shorter email inbound! Not much time left in the day and P Day flew by!

Things that happened! I'll let my pictures explain most of our week!

WE PUT 3 PEOPLE ON DATE THIS WEEK!

Which puts our total to 4 people on date as of right now! I'm not sure how much I can explain how impossible it is to have 4 people on date here in Newport. The population of our area is about 8,000 people and our branch is about 40 people every week so to have this many blessings is amazing!

George Huskey: George is set for March 29th! He's doing great, and we've continued to meet with him this last week and help him understand more about the blessing he can receive by being baptized!

Angela Allen: Angela is amazing! We put her on date this last Tuesday for March 16th! She had so many amazing questions that we were able to answer. Her only concern is her ability to quit smoking. Pray for Angela that she can have the health and strength as she quits bad habits and creates new ones!

Tim and Bethany: We put Tim and Bethany on date this week for March 15th! We've been trying to do this for a few weeks but the date is the closest of the bunch! We have a lot of work to do! Please pray for us as we try our best to help them!

We had lots of exchanges this week and a lot of snow! Email me if you want more next week, but that's most of it!

For a spiritual thought, I was reading Elder Bednar's talk from this last General Conference titled "In the Space of Not Many Years"

The general message of the talk is about how in the space of not many years, the Nephites had forgotten the Lord. It is about how to avoid apostasy in our lives. But he gives a line describing what apostasy is!

"Apostasy can occur at two basic levels—institutional and individual. At the institutional level, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will not be lost through apostasy or taken from the earth."

I love this! Please know that no matter what you do or others do, the principles and doctrines of God will stand strong, but will we in times of trouble? Please seek to do all you can to see personal firmness through the principles and doctrines of God! You will not have to endure personal apostasy!

I love you all, please have a great week! Don't let anything get you down!🧡🤍🧡🤍
