Hello Everyone!

      Transfer calls came in!! I AM STAYING IN LEMOORE, AND TRAINING A NEWBIE FROM THE MTC! I am super excited. We got a call from President Mackay yesterday, and we asked me to accept that assignment. I was pumped! We get to go to the temple to prepare for it too! The next few days I will be with all the trainers and we learn how to be an effective trainer and we are coming back to work Lemoore until they come in on Thursday. Transfer hub is tomorrow though, and Sister Jeffrey is going to Kerman! I was like I loved it there! ALSO 11 MONTHS TODAY!!! TIME FLIES!

     We got to go pick grapes in the vineyard this week! It was SO much fun. We got super dirty and sweaty but it felt so good to know we could help others all over the world. How lucky that we are in this mission able to go and do that service with others. We had a great week, as far as finding and helping to build Lemoore. We have been working a ton out in Riverdale.

     I have been reading a conference talk a day to start preparing for General Conference in October. I am super excited for that too. Just super happy, in case I haven't hinted at that. Anyways, I was reading a talk from President Nelson, how he read all 57 sections in the Topical Guide about Jesus Christ in the Standard Works.  He talks about how doing that changed his life and his testimony. I have taken that challenge upon myself to start reading them. I often ask people, Where there relationship is with God. I think to myself "How can we follow somebody we do not know?" As we come to KNOW who God and Jesus Christ how, we are bound to learn how to become more like them. I love that.  There is so much to learn and we are constantly progressing. Through personal revelation we know how to better ourselves and share that with others. One word I love focusing on and our mission president, is "STRIVE" when we are striving we will grow. We are promised eternal life if we will but do our best. I love the story, when Christ is found teaching in the temple, in Luke 15 and when he remind Mary and Joseph, " wist me not that I be all about my fathers business?"

He does all things because he remembers who he is and what he was sent here to do. I love the scripture in John 8:28-29

28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

People often ask us, why would we do this? Don't we miss our family? 

One answer I give. I serve because I love Jesus Christ. 

I love you all have a great week!
