  • Sister Brooke Mickelson

    a12b473b-de36-4706-af82-3f590a3ba0f4 Sister Brooke Mickelson Back to Missionary Letters A God of Miracles Hey it's me again! Google photos📸 https://photos.app.goo.gl/UoWFGHnRxwjSNdbB9 This week was a little boring, but we saw some pretty cool miracles. I also aquired a nickname at some point along the way, "Sister Mickey" we'll see if that sticks throughout the mish or not🤪 Tuesday we were able to have another lesson with our friend Jodie(the old lady that's afraid of everything) at first when we got there she told us that she needs to take a step back. She's also been having nightmares related to church. She has some major religious trauma due to things that happened in the past. Ngl I was pretty disappointed because I had so much hope for her. We then continued to have a really good conversation and clarified a lot that she had questions about. The next day she texted us and thanked us for talking with her and helping her. She said that she not only didn't have a nightmare, but she had a helpful dream clarifying things. When she sent this text I knew that God was aware of her and that he has it under control. Even if Jodie isn't ready right now, she is seeing God's hand, and she hasn't given up yet. We might not be consistently meeting with her, but she is still pushing forward and progressing on her own. Tuesday evening we went to see a guy named Preston. We had knocked on his door a few times previously, but he was never home. This time he was! Preston was awesome and said that he really wants to meet with us and start coming to church! He wants a better relationship with Christ and wants that for his family as well. This was such a miracle and we were stoked after this! Since then we have tried to text him and he won't respond, but I'm not giving up! On Thursday I had a really cool experience that opened my eyes. We were once again trying to contact a lady. Nobody answered, but as we stood there I was looking around the street. A certain house caught my eye, but not for any specific reason. I got the impression that we should knock that door, so we did. A guy named Ryan answered. He said that they don't have a church that they currently go to, but he let us share a message with him. I asked if he would be interested in learning more about our church and he said, yeah he was curious about it. He proceeded to tell us that he wasn't usually home at that time. I've always known that God is aware of each of us, but in that moment it was made clear to me because He knew that Ryan would be home, we would be in his neighborhood, and the lady we were trying to contact wouldn't answer. That wasn't a coincidence. It was a prompting from the Holy Ghost, and I'm grateful to have that gift with me always. Of course he didn't respond when we texted him either(typical) This is kind of a boring email, but I have one more story! Saturday we were able to have a lesson with Shane! Shane was previously on date to get baptized, but his sister talked him out of it a few days before. Missionaries have not been able to get ahold of him for months, but finally he responded and set up a time to meet!! This lesson was really awesome. The spirit was strong, and we helped him realize that he is always welcome whether he is baptized or not. He expressed how much he enjoyed his time at church and with the people there. He agreed to coming to church on Sunday and then proceeded to not show up🫠 Not much else happened this week besides the weather actually dropped, and it has been absolutely freezing!! So I fear that the mild Montana winter is over🥶🧊It takes my body a while to warm up after tracting in it for an hour at a time. Anyways, I am so grateful for each of the experiences I had this week, and the joy it brings me when we have good interactions with people, and help them feel God's love for them. Although each of these ended with us not getting responses, or the outcome we had hoped, it is still refreshing to have those positive experiences. These are only a few of the people we are hoping to start teaching and we have many more. Please pray that we will get responses from some of them and see more miracles come from it. I know the joy this gospel can bring to every person and it makes me sad for them when they miss out on this opportunity. Spiritual thought: 2 Nephi 28:30 "For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more..." Each of these little successes are significant and will add up to something great. We learn "line upon line" and this is true, not only for our knowledge, but for our faith as well. Each small miracle will slowly build our faith until it becomes something that will never fail. The things that could end up being discouraging will actually become gratitude as we recognize the miracle in the beginning. One thing I have to keep in my mind is that the choices and actions of others, are not dependent on me. The only thing I can control is myself. Set the example and don't give up, but when they choose another way, remember it's their choice. Love love love you all☺️ ♡Sister Mickelson Previous Letter Next Letter

    57285722-cd29-4398-948c-b3ff0248760a Sister Jasmine Bundy Back to Missionary Letters Stiff Neckyness 🦖 Noun: Bookoo Fudge (bew-kew fuj) 1. Where all pillows, blankets, sleeping bags, and the like are thrown into a pile and wallered in. origin: unknown I Decided to make a bookoo Fudge this week. A little bit of home 🥰 I had an interesting week. Missionary life is full of the highest highs and lowest lows and the middlest middles. I'm on the spectrum you might say. I went on an exchange to Georgia, and because I was so close to my stomping grounds of Ringworm, I went and paid a good recent convert of mine a visit. This friend of mine decided to leave her faith a few months ago, and I couldn't just let that be without talking to her about it. Ill make a long story short. Read your Book of Mormon every day. Pray every day. And never dismiss the importance of renewing your covenants by taking the sacrament every week. You won't ever fall away. Offense, trial, persuasion of anti-material, or a lack of faith will never win the battle of your testimony if you build those three habits. The little things are the big things ✨️ In other words, we are still teaching our blind friend! Sometimes I forget he is blind and it makes for an awkward situation. There was one time I was at the gym and I asked the guy with no legs if he was about to use the leg press. Picture that scenario, but with blindness. Rob is funny, because he has a genuine interest in our lives. (This is not typical) Missionary work is always about other people, never about you, so it catches me so off gaurd when Rob asks us inspired questions and tries to really understand who we are and why we believe what we believe. Nice lil rob. Speaking of inspired questions, we had interviews with Big Barlow this week and i figured he must be so tired of always hearing about other people's problems so I sat down and told him I would be Interviewing him instead. .. its harder to life coach your mission president than you might think. Thats all I have to report on about that. We found these two little gals this week and put them on date for baptism! Their names are Alani and Juliana! Teaching them has been fun because Alani will be drinking a 24oz Redbull while reading from her Book of Mormon. Juliana is a shy lil thing and adds a nice balance to Alani's chaos. God bless their parents 😌 Well. Sister Knight and I have been doing anything we possibly can to switch things up. We whipped cookies and started sticking them in people's door if they don't keep their return appointment. Here is evidence Anyways. Here is my Spiritual Thought for the week: ☆ as I took the Sacrament this week, I came to a realization of the gift that it is to participate in the Atonement every single week. Its like I'm there in the garden of gesthemane as Christ suffers with me. It's a moment where I truly am not alone. Someone understands me perfectly. As i offer up a broken heart and a contrite Spirit as a Sacrifice, I truly understand the Sacrament as a symbol of the great Atoning Sacrifice of my Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ. We can't avoid pain, but we can avoid suffering, because He chose not to. - a Bundy girl Previous Letter Next Letter

  • Sister Dantzel Park

    0d557936-52b4-42c3-9b4d-0d9e2ba3af52 Sister Dantzel Park Back to Missionary Letters #NinjaTurttlesEnTacna Wow!! Another week comes and goes… this week was so full. I can't believe we are in the last week of January!! But as always I have some fun things to tell so let's go! Bulletpoints ▪︎ Another zone conference <3 I learned so much from President Elliott and all the amazing missionaries here in la misión Perú Arequipa!! ▪︎ I gifted a hair clip to hermana Asley (nuestro misionero del barrio). She loved it and wore it the next day! It made my heart so happy <3 ▪︎ Divis con hermana Bautista de Iquitos la selva! (She is from Iquitos in the jungle). I taught her how to make no bake cookies and it was so good!! ▪︎ In our relief society class or teacher told us she counted the people sleeping in sacrament meeting and there were 15!! Haha ▪︎ We invited two of our friends to be baptised this week :) It's so powerful to see the desire of our friends to follow the example of Jesus Christ. ▪︎ We had a miracle Saturday night. We decided to go try and visit a less active family. And we ran into an inactive member from another ward! She told us that we were her ángeles and that she would go to church instead of work on Sunday. There were tears and hugs but I know that the spirit lead us to her so she could renew her covenants <3 ▪︎ Divis con hermana Olortegui from Bolivia!! She is so cute and has an amazing voice :) I learned the importance of having an open mind to talk to everybody. ▪︎ Asley blessed me by breaking my 50 soles into 5's and 2's <3 This is a true blessing now I can take buses way easier :) ▪︎ Carlos who sings!!! He sang us a beautiful song and then sent us 42 tik tok videos… He is just a little weird and off key… ▪︎ Someone rejected a baptism date because he thought that we didn't believe in God? I was super confused… Spiritual thought Ok analogy time! So I always have my backpack, and water because it is summertime! I realized on Sunday after the sacrament meeting that my water bottle was slightly open… because the bottom of my backpack was all wet! I, like anyone else, immediately took everything out of my bag and drank the rest of my water that was in my bottle. I didn't want it to leak anymore! I pulled out my books and papers that were all slightly wet but not completely ruined. It was all ok because it leaked a little less than half of my water bottle that spilled. It could have been worse! Ok, now the question, how does this apply? Why is Hermana Park obsessed with her water spilling in her bag? It's because it reminded me of how we can feel when we sin. It was my fault my water spilled in my bag because my bottle was not completely straight up. I got a little lazy and I had consequences for it! I wouldn't have noticed that the water was spilling if I wouldn't have taken off my bag looking for something. Just like a small decision I made in the morning, not double checking my water bottle, sometimes we make small simple mistakes. Today I am going to compare it to lying. Maybe you say a little white lie and it slowly keeps leaking. You don't even notice because it is something so small! You could go days or even weeks without feeling an impact of what you said. Until you take off your bag to check something and find it all wet! Something that seemed so small weeks ago has made a bigger impact than you realized! The things in your bag are all wet and not the same as they were before. Papers are easily torn and writing is impossible to read because it has been washed away. Something small that we say can have big consequences!! But you can take out your bottle and drink ALL the water. Take responsibility for something you did before and make it right. That doesn't mean your bag will dry instantly; you will have to wait for a bit so things can dry out. But, if you leave things as they are it will only get worse. I invite you to look at the small things in your life! And to be more responsible than I was and put your water bottle in your bag right the first time. And if it was out of order the day before, fix it now so you won't have worse consequences! I love you guys. I hope you have a great week :) <3 Hermana Park Previous Letter Next Letter

    3a5e60db-fe81-4ffd-a762-03e49a41c703 Elder Anson Hollingshed Back to Missionary Letters 1 Anson 3:8 ¡Hola todos y Landon! This is going to be a short email because nothing crazy happening besides transfers next week. Which Im most likely staying here in Elvira because Pres said so. Also my comp is going home so it only makes sense I stay here. Which Im fine with because I am really loving the members here. The missionary work is starting to pick up momentum. We got 11 people to church kind of. Kind of because they were 30 minutes late for church. Also another reason I love the members is they invited a non member family that we taught a couple of weeks ago but they didn't progress to come to church which they came! But also 30 minutes late☹️. But we can work with that. A verse I really loved this week from the BoM was Alma 61:14. 14 Therefore, my beloved brother, Moroni, let us resist evil, and whatsoever evil we cannot resist with our words, yea, such as rebellions and dissensions, let us resist them with our swords, that we may retain our freedom, that we may rejoice in the great privilege of our church, and in the cause of our Redeemer and our God. I don't really remember why I loved this verse. Maybe because Capt Moroni is so awesome but what's really awesome was the reason he fought so hard for the people was so they could live the gospel freely and continue to worship our God and Jesus Christ in peace. Thats pretty much all I got and I'll know who my new comp is next week and if Im staying here by next week so see you all then. https://photos.app.goo.gl/U1p9YbdbpLdbz1819 Elder Anson J Hollingshead Ecuador Guayaquil North Mission Send me a letter at Elder Anson J Hollingshead Ecuador Guayaquil North Mission Av Rodolfo Baqerizo y Demetrio Aguilera Cdla la Alborada Etapa 7 Manzana 747 Solar 01 ---Guayaquil Ecuador Send me a package Elder Anson J Hollingshead Ecuador Guayaquil North Mission Zona Alborada, Av Rodolfo Baquero Nazur 90-323 y Calle Demetrio Aguilera 090150---Guayaquil Ecuador Previous Letter Next Letter

  • Elder Connor Zarate

    30dd5073-6ba8-4109-83fc-4e6e0502f4df Elder Connor Zarate Back to Missionary Letters Top three things from this week were one lesson with David and his house number two exchanges with Celtic Johnson and Elder Kohls birthday. The lesson of David was super cool he is another kid our age and we got to sit and teach him about the restoration in his own home it was really amazing we don't teach very many lessons to people in person anymore it is much easier to teach Over video call. Most of them are like that but it really is amazing be able to sit with them face to face and to feel the spirit with them as you testify these truths. Elder Johnson is an amazing missionary. we both had to visa wait and ended up both being in the Richmond Virginia mission and then came here. He got here a couple months before I did and when I came he was my first companion in Ireland. He's an amazing example of Faith and charity. He always makes you feel like your the most important one in the room and he is hilarious. We had such a great time and I learned lots. It was Elder Kohls birthday and he said "don't give me Cake. Give me Steak" ... so I did. I cooked up some ribeye stakes for his birthday dinner. Later at English class several of our students got together and suprised him with a big cake and nice chocolates. Our other friend Yaro, who we have been teaching for a long time now, went to spain for the last 2 weeks with his family. And he came back this Thursday and when he came back he also brought back some Spanish treats and pins for us. He also gave us an entire Birthday cake and sodas. He is so fun and is one of my best friends I have made on my mission. He is so grate. My spiritual thought for this week starts in the spring of 1820 in the state of New York. When a boy enters a grove of trees and begins to pray. When he recounts the following exercise he said “I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me. … When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!” in the sequence of events that followd this physical experience Joseph was called as a prophet. And this miracle is the star to the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ in these last days. As I have had the opportunity to teach people about the church and quoted these same words the sprit has repeatedly testified so strongly to me of what happened that day in New York. I'm so grateful for the knowledge that I have and for everything that it implies. I know these things are true. And I invite everyone to study "the first vision" this week and come to understand what it means for you. PS. sorry I have basically stopped taking pictures they know I need to get back on it and I had a problem with my storage space and so a lot of pictures from my Google photos have been pulled off but here are some of them anyways https://photos.app.goo.gl/tGCNLwWcsXsYxgai6 Previous Letter Next Letter

    4fb63035-b1bc-47cc-bf5f-e473b939f2a3 Sister Nayeli Andrade Back to Missionary Letters "She's an Oldie but a Goodie"🎣⛵️ Howdy everyone! Nova Scotia has been wonderful, it's beautiful as I remember and the people are as incredible as I remember too. So just thought to share some pictures and keep it short and sweet today. Our mission, especially out here in the maritimes always reminds me of Alma 30:44 "And all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator." All this is proof of God's love. He didn't have to make it this pretty, but He did. For YOU. I love you all! Hope you have an amazing week! Sister Andrade Photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/veZD5rjDqiyAqmun8 And for all my fellow missionaries, just felt to add this! Hang on to what you know, own your obedience, be diligent, and keep working and loving hard! Even if you stand alone, that's enough for the Lord to work great miracles AND that is what will bring joy! You got this! Previous Letter Next Letter

    a1172fce-f753-4b97-b82e-2cf1cd77696d Elder Cameron Wright Back to Missionary Letters Slapped by the Spirit allywright2020@gmail.com ;kelbyandalysonhughes@icloud.com ;amykaidavis12@yahoo.com ;+124 others Good week this week! Nothing too crazy happened. Not that I can remember right away at least. We just had good days. I went up to Raymondville this week for an exchange and it was pretty fun. Raymondville is an interesting place. It is nice to go there every so often, but I don't know how I would do if that was my area haha. I had a good day with Elder Lewis though and we just worked and then picked up some Subway at the end of the night. I had to teach an english class so that was fun. I am not really used to doing classes and service stuff like that so it was fun to do once. I had the most gas member meal ever this week. It was like our only one, our ward ain't feeding us too much. I am chilling though. My body can afford to eat itself and starve a bit! We had some amazing fajitas at the nicest house I have ever seen down here. It is just a ton of acres and a little drive through their gate to get to their house. It is so awesome and peaceful. Super cool people. They are just old white bougie country people. That was mostly the week. I am just kind of enduring the area bit. I am about ready to get out of here. I will miss for sure, but just same plaes and starting to have people come up to me and say "Hey you guys were the ones that invited me to church" gIt happens, but right now it is happening a lot more. People know me and that is how you know you have been there a sec haha. Church went good. It was stake conference and we had 2 friends there. I sat by the one that we found earlier in the week and never met back up with until church. We didn't quite cover the Word of Wisdom so he liked to talk and he was a loud talker so it annoyed people, but he eventually kept quiet and it wasn't too horrible. God Bless Tomas. Elder Hans T. Boom spoke at it though and had a really good talk. Hopefully our friends got slapped by the spirit and want to keep meeting. Especially Tomas because I don't think a still small voice would worked in his state haha. Spiritual Thought: It has been a super awesome week for a missionary out here because he finished The Book of Mormon all the way through his first time! It has been a party to say the least. That might be dramatic, but man he worked hard for it and finished it. It made me just ponder on when I read it and the first time I read it and all I thought about was how my testimony has changed. The thought of repitition came to my mind again because truly after my first time reading, I remembered some of the stories. There is some ligit stories in there. As I have read it, I have remembered more stories and where they are at, but I have learned more about Jesus. How the Book of Mormon is a witness of Him and His gospel. The Book of Mormon is the word of God and I have come to known that through reading it and most importantly praying. When I read it, it can be words on a page, but when you pray before you read it with the intent to grow, man some amazing things happen. I invite yall to pray and read it because that is the strongest conversion tool in the gospel. Peace🤘 Here's the photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/AJPDFZiAPHs2sDfeA Previous Letter Next Letter

  • Elder Reece Leavitt

    d1e936bf-b54e-425c-befd-a8130f9bab56 Elder Reece Leavitt Back to Missionary Letters Priesthood power is real, And we all have blessings specifically for us! E aí meus amigos, como vocês estão? This week was another good week, got some more people on date and found some really cool people that are interested in the gospel of Jesus Christ and his love for them. Let's get into this week. We chilled monday, played some cards, I shot around for a little, it was a chill day. We also went to a Rodizio (all you can eat pizza) was really good and I always enjoy going. One of the families we are teaching is really amazing. They want to be closer to Jesus Christ and want to be baptized. We invited 2 of them but the daughter wasn’t home. So the next day they asked us where they would be baptized. Because they didn’t really want to be baptized in the river. When we told them that there is like a little pool in the church where we do baptisms, they immediately wanted to be baptized. And it was really cool. One of the kids we are hoping to baptize wasnt feeling good and didnt want to come to church. We told him we would give him a blessing and promised him that he would have the health and strength to get through the day. He absolutely loved church and felt great during the whole 2 hours. What a blessing that was. So glad we were able to bring him to church and help him progress. The power of the priesthood is real!! We also found this couple that moved from Venezuela heard about the church before, so when we started talking to them, they wanted to know more, they came to church and they liked it. We just need to help them get married and then baptized. But they are really cool. It has rained quite a bit this week really hard too. We forgot to take our umbrellas on the worst day and got absolutely soaked. We also found Batman's house!! This house had Bats non stop for about 30 seconds coming out of it. It was crazy. We also had some pretty long and tiring days. and also got a reference for a guy that just got out of prison. so that is a little strange. We helped our Bishop with his yard, and then they helped us teach a lesson to the couple that we had met. Because they speak Spanish. So it was good, they helped us and we helped them. And the Bishop's wife loves to talk and be in charge. But does not like to do the work. We all have a lot of patience with her. She also speaks a mix of Portuguese and Spanish when she talks. ST: Moroni 10:18-19 This is a great scripture because it talks about how all blessings are from Jesus Christ, and how they are spiritual too. We may not think that they are but they are definitely given to us to help others come closer to Christ. But that is about it this week, want to know anything specific, reach out. But have a great week and love you guys Elder Leavitt Previous Letter Next Letter

  • Elder Drake Wakefield

    de74a954-0c3b-4c4a-9f25-b382b1345579 Elder Drake Wakefield Back to Missionary Letters *Know*ing Jesus [A little context for any who are unfamiliar with my beliefs as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I believe rather than a typical Heaven and Hell afterlife, that there are 3 kingdoms or degrees of glory in heaven. There is an deeper explanation at the bottom if desired or needed] In my missionary and finding experience John 17:3 has been a heavily, arguably my most heavily used verse. It is Jesus praying to the Father, it reads: And this is life eternal , that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. Now compared and strengthened by clarifying and testimony-strengthening moderned revelation in Doctorine and Covenants section 76: Speaking of those who will reside in celestial glory: ..this is the testimony of the gospel of Christ concerning them who shall come forth in the resurrection of the just— 51 They are they who received the testimony of Jesus... Now compare to the other two kingdoms: 76 (in talking about the terrestrial (or the degree below celestial)) -these are they who are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus And for the lowest degree, or the telestial kingdom: 82 These are they who received not the gospel of Christ, neither the testimony of Jesus So life eternal (eternal being a name of God, so eternal meaning living with God like Him) really is dependent on our testimony, or how well we know Jesus. If we really know Him, what will we do? What will our actions show? If we really understand he will forgive us of any and every transgression, what will our reaction be when it's our turn to forgive?If we truly know Him who gave His life for service, what will our outcome be when we see someone in need? My question to you today is how well do you really know Jesus? I promise as you evaluate your behavior, you will see if you truly know him enough. Your salvation and/or exaltation depends on it. So get to know Him😄I can testify the more of our life we give up to the Lord the 1. More happy we will be 2. The more prepared we will be to live a celestial life, as this is the time to prepare and to change. So know him, he wants to know you too🙏 Miracles continue to abound in Medan, slowly but surely this city is changing out of its gotham city stereotype. Top contributors to the change are: -Daniella and Felicia😇they are two daughters of a member who are now on date for baptism! For some reasons they have not accepted baptism yet, but after some lessons with them they are excited and their dad is supportive! A contributing factor could be their father just got a calling in the Elders Quorum, so callings really do help bring people unto Christ -Vincent and Vero So Vincent's still doing good, has come to church the past 5 weeks and has now brought a friend! He texted us one day anda say "Elder I have a reference". We texted said reference and it was Vero, who came to church this past Sunday!! We've met twice and have introduced the Book of Mormon while using (yea you know it) John 17:3, what better thing to get to know Christ better than a whole nother Testament filled with lots of testimonies of him? She now has the desire to really know Him and were gonna meet with her again this week! Yea still going strong and enjoying it out here. Got a little sick this last week but nothing a little medicine, sleep, and a priesthood blessing couldn't fix. So catch yall next week! Love ya! -Elder Wakefield President Oaks, our Prophet and leader explains it better than I could "The revealed doctrine of the restored Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches that all the children of God—with exceptions too limited to consider here—will ultimately inherit one of three kingdoms of glory, even the least of which “surpasses all understanding.” After a period in which the disobedient suffer for their sins, which suffering prepares them for what is to follow, all will be resurrected and proceed to the Final Judgment of the Lord Jesus Christ. There, our loving Savior, who, we are taught, “glorifies the Father, and saves all the works of his hands,” will send all the children of God to one of these kingdoms of glory according to the desires manifested through their choices" President Oaks, Kingdoms of Glory, Oct 2023 So we believe a loving God prepared a the best outcome he could without being unjust, giving the best for what that child specifically became in this world and the time before judgement day. Example. Someone who does not love Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ would not want to live them and live by their commandments, therefore a place or glory was prepared, where he/she can still live how they liked to and wanted to live. I find joy being with God and drawing nearer unto Him, so my goal is the celestial kingdom so I can continue to be with and grow with Him. Someone who enjoys smoking, drinking, an unchaste lifestyle would not get any joy from doing those things, so God like always doesn't force and prepared a place where they will feel comfortable. If still confused there are great resources, just lmk if you would like some. Here is the talk I quoted above: Kingdoms of Glory https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2023/10/17oaks?lang=eng Previous Letter Next Letter

This week was a lot of fun so let's get into it! Google Photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/SPHBKzMm2s5zEyUQ8 Email: caiden.jones@missionary.org ————————————————————————— Mission Address Letters (in Mission) PO Box 97 Marden SA 5070 Australia Packages (in Mission) 11 Sommers Avenue Firle SA 5070 Australia ————————————————————————— I had the opportunity to go to Adelaide on Wednesday for MLC and it was a lot of fun! The mission will be focusing a little more on Social Media work and referrals! I'm pretty excited for what the future holds and I feel like there is going to be a lot of success! After MLC we spent a day in Mildura and then I got to go to Robinvale for an exchange over the weekend. It was really fun because most of the people there are Tongan's so everywhere was a party. The members there are so fun and I had a blast! That was pretty much the extent of the week, and honestly I'm pretty tired so this is the email you'll get. I do want to leave you all with thought. At MLC, President Standley said "What Sally says about Suzy, says more about Sally than it does about Suzy." This is your friendly reminder to not gossip. Spreading negativity to those around you, especially about others, ACTIVELY makes the world a much worse place to be. When you share negative things about people, it creates a false image of those individuals. We ALL make mistakes and have flaws. We ALL need to work on things in order to be more Christlike. If you are spreading negativity then I invite you: Be better. I also invite you to read this talk: Words Matter https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2024/04/41rasband?lang=eng I know that if we want to make the world a better place, we need to take a look at ourselves and make a change. I love you all and 'till next time! - Elder Jones Previous Letter Next Letter
