Falling in Love with Jesus Christ

So this week I went to Roswell for Zone Conference and then we had one here in Lubbock. Roswell was awesome because I got to visit my friend Margaret that I found and taught when I was there. It was super cool! We read 3 Nephi 11 with her and it was an awesome experience.

    We also had some great lessons with our friend Jordan. She was baptized in another church less than a month ago. Just a day before we met her she was actually praying and asking God to guide her to a new community. Then we ran into her! We had a two really good lessons about priesthood authority and why we're the true church. Afterwards, she called our member Olivia and asked her an awesome question. She explained that her grandma was baptized but not with authority, and she has since passed away. What happened to her? So our member was able to explain The Spirit World and Temples and Jordan absolutely loved it. The gospel is so perfect and truly for everyone. Jordan is now wanting to be baptized!

    I was able to give a few priesthood blessings this week which is such a privilege and blessing. One of them was to a very inactive member named Ross. He approached us and explained that he hasn't been in a few years, but he and his girlfriend want to come to church. He said he knows they need to come to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was so cool that God guided us to him, and that he was so open and ready to come back.

    Sacrament meeting was a huge miracle this last week. We've been working really hard to get our members to help us in the work. On Sunday, we had 8 nonmembers join us, and only three of them were from us missionaries! One of them was our friend Jordan too. But the members are starting to bring their friends, and it's super awesome to see.

    I wanted to end this email by talking about an idea that's been running across my mind. It's about the need to Fall in love with Jesus Christ. It sounds weird at first, but if you're in love with Christ then every thing you do, think or say will be something that brings you closer to Him. The purpose of our life would be to simply improve our relationship with him everyday! So I wanna change yall to find what you need to do to Fall in love with Jesus! Love yall!
