Hey everyone! I am
still on my mission in the Iowa Des Moines Mission, but my mission has been
authorized to use Facebook in our proselyting efforts! You can comment and
share, but i can't reply back. My main way of contact will still be through
email. But I will love seeing all of your smiling faces! I love it here in the
amazing, green hills of Iowa! The church is true, and the Book is blue!!

And ponder on the beauty of an Earth made clean again"
I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to be a missionary in the IDMM! I get to witness miracles all day, every day, and I can testify that God loves each and every one of His children!

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
because I know that it is Christ's Church on the Earth today. Everything about
it brings the Spirit and all the answers to questions long asked are within
reach! I have read the Book of Mormon and put the promise it contains to the
test! It says "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you
that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these
things are not true. And if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real
intent, having faith in Christ, He will manifest the truth of it unto you by
the power of the Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the
truth of all things" (Moroni 10:4-5) I have read the scriptures, I have
prayed for truth, and I have received the undeniable witness that this is
true! #whylatterdaysaint

No matter the times in which we live, we will always need the
help and guidance of our Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ! Whether
we are in 600 BC with the Liahona, or in the world today with the Book of
Mormon and the Bible, we can always listen to the influence of the Holy
Spirit!!

One of the most asked questions to missionaries is, why do you
choose to leave your family for so long to go awkwardly knock on doors?! I
know, it seems crazy! But the answer is simple-because this church is the true
Church! The key word of that question is CHOOSE. Jesus Christ chose to come to
Earth, and to suffer and die for each one of us so that we could return to our
Father in Heaven. I chose to come on a mission to be the Lord's Hand! To help
others grow their Faith and Knowledge in the Son of God! #whythebadge

Today marks 10
months of me being on a mission! I second what every missionary has said- it
has flown by! This has been the hardest 10 months, but the best. As a
missionary, I get the unique privilege of watching others gain a testimony of
our Savior Jesus Christ. But, most importantly, I have gained a stronger
testimony of Him than I ever thought possible! I know He lives! He came to
Earth to for each of us, He lived for each of us, died for each of us, and
lives now, For Us!! I feel an overwhelming sense of peace and joy knowing that
if I were the only person on Earth, He would still have gone through the
Atonement, because of His matchless love for me, and for each of us! I know
that this is His work!
