Sorry I haven't sent a weekly in a bit!
I studied Alma 5 this week, reflecting on the things I need to improve on. I made a long list! I'm trying to better myself everyday, but I drop the ball a lot. I have a desire to change, but sometimes temptations get the best of me. I've learned how important it is to ALLOW the Lord, and his grace and mercy, to pick up where I lack. He doesn't make up the difference where we fail. He makes ALL the difference. There isn't a line where we do our part then Jesus does "the rest". He gives us rest. He is the PROMISED Messiah, and God doesn't break His promises. There are a lot of promises in the scriptures that we overlook, but when we truly focus on them and ALLOW them into our hearts, miracles happen.
Mission life is going great. My companion is awesome. We get along swell. We went on a few exchanges this week with elders in our district and the Zone leaders. One of the elders had a toilet light that was pretty dang sick. It's nearly impossible to miss in the dark now! Plus it changes colors when you flush. Pretty fancy dancy.
We taught a guy named Felix this week from Ghana (I bolded it because he's around that same color). We taught the Restoration and he said it made a lot of sense and he wants to pray about it! We are going back next week and are having another appointment. Pray he feels the spirit!

I love the Gospel! God is SO real. Pray to him everyday, He wants to hear from you!
