week 101: so many miles

 

some REALLY good pizza!

Hey everyone, this week flew by! 

We hit 20,000 miles in our car because we have to drive so much. When I got here it was about 11,000 so I've driven over 9000 miles in the last 4 months. Things are going great. Logan is coming up on his baptism and he is so ready! Last time we met with him he was talking about how when you do what is right, the Holy Ghost is with you and then when you sin he leaves, but you can repent and he'll come back. It's so cool to see how much he's growing. Then on Sunday he brought his friend to church and we're going to start teaching him as well. His name is Jesse. We had to also give talks. That was a lot of fun. It was about missionary work. The apostles and first presidency came out with these new principles for sharing the gospel. The principles are called Love, Share, Invite. You should all look it up it's super cool. 

Only two weeks left, which means two more lessons. 

My mission taught me that Gospel brings lasting happiness. The gospel of Jesus Christ works! It brings true joy. As we follow it, the gospel brings light into our lives. That light chases away darkness. There is peace that comes from striving to live the gospel. Christ's atonement was a free gift and the gospel is how we can accept and use it.
