ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBTS

"While you might be doubting yourself someone else is admiring your strength."

 Everyone is going wild here! The chiefs beat the bills once again and they look better than ever.  That's what all the members are saying! We're going to B-dubs today to see some of the highlights. These last 2 weeks have been wild started out with going to a baptism for Kali, Kali was a lady I taught for a couple months and she finally got baptized! I was able to do the confirmation which was amazing!. The missionaries said she has been so much happier since being baptized. Then we had a lady text us last week asking to be baptized because she finally received an answer that the book of mormon was the word of God and that Joseph smith was a prophet, and she said she had absolutely no doubts.  It was really cool to see the effect of when people actually read and pray about the Book of mormon. They always receive an answer.  I was able to go back to Trenton this last week I got to meet with a bunch of the friends that I taught almost a year and a half ago.  I still pray for them and love those people so much. One of them gave me her chess set that is ancient.  It weighs about 20 lbs itself.  I'm so lucky to be in Missouri where it's -29⁰ on daily and the roads are pure ice.  I can't believe they played football in this weather! My face was an icicle after 5 minutes of being outside.  It really puts in perspective how hard it must have been for Joseph Smith when he was in prison here.  I'm glad it was him not me because I would've died.  We had zone conference last week and I got to see all the missionaries which was fun, but sitting 6 hours for 3 days is really long.  One of the gyms was 55⁰ for the whole meeting.  Hope everyone gets to watch the chiefs win next week.  If the chiefs win the missionaries get to watch the super bowl.

SUPER HAPPY TO BE HERE

“A joyful life is made up of joyful moments gracefully strung together by trust, gratitude, inspiration, and faith."

Sorry that I haven't sent one out in a while! This week was wild we didn't sleep in our own house until Saturday and took 3 people to the airport and then took all the old heads to the airport as well. It was super sad to see my old companion leave and of course I had to drop him off which was not very fun. Now I have a new companion he will be great we get along really well.  He's been in this ward for 9 months so he knows everything about it.  We got 9 new missionaries this week and they were all super happy to be here.  We also got to do light the world the other week and that was a blast.  We had to take off our tags and go by our first name it was super weird to do that, It did not feel right. But we had tons of people come and donate which was awesome.  Hopefully this week we can get tons of people on Date for baptism.  We had about 7 in mind so hopefully it all works out. We finally got basketball approved so today all we'll be doing is playing basketball.  The president told me he will only approve it if I beat him and then I got sick the week we were going to play so then he approved it anyway. He was honestly just scared to lose...
