WEEK 35: A Mission is Worth It!

Hello friends!!

I hope all is well! For me as a missionary I can't say things are perfect but I can say I'm so incredibly blessed. For any of you debating on serving a mission let me just say this. If you go, you will never regret it. You will learn so much and grow spiritually. You will grow in your ability to love and understand others. You will learn how to deal with people who drive you crazy! haha. Your social skills will improve. You will see lives changed. You will become best friends with your Father in Heaven and the Book of Mormon. Your family will be blessed. You will see miracles. You will develop life long friendships. You will learn to work hard. But best of all you will be happy. Not everyday cuz some days are so hard, but I promise you, if you do all you can to serve, you will be happy. Sooo in short if your are thinking about going but you aren't sure, let me just help you with your decision. GO!!! There is no better thing you can do than serve the Lord.

Okay soo for me this week it was a lot of walking, sweating, and talking to random people. We were rejected many times but also we received some promising referrals. We are also building stronger relationships with members and in turn they are actually starting to help us! So honestly this week wasn't too shabby. It definitely had it's ups and downs, but I can say the ups are greater than the downs. 

But yeah, read the Book of Mormon daily, it will improve your life. And if you're not doing so read together as a family as well as pray. I have seen it improve families lives!

Love you all,
Elder Pace

Tanner's Farewell

Image
Tanners farewell was lovely.  He really did do a nice job on his talk.  It was fun to catch a glimpse of his personality sprinkled throughout yet he was respectful as well.  He has truly grown so much this past year and I'm sure he will grow even more these next two.   I'm very grateful my family were able to come.  I think he would have felt bad if nobody was able to be here.  We stay for all three meetings so we really didn't have much of a celebration after....just the family had lunch together and then we said good-bye.  I still tried to decorate a bit so he would feel special. Here is a copy of his talk.  I don't remember hearing the poem before but I really liked it. Good morning brothers and sisters. And thank you so much for all of you who showed up to support me. When I was a young boy my mom and I were in a bank. When we were sitting down with one of the workers at the bank they asked...

WEEK 7/104: Faith

Image
(I told Tanner from his pictures it looks like he was sent to a country inhabited solely by children!) Hey everyone!! So this week was very successful, well until the end but hey I will take it. We found 4 new investigators and received 1 referral. Three of the 4 investigators we found all in one place together and we have taught them twice throughout the week. And wow, they are powerful... they have really been prepared to learn about and receive the gospel.They ask so many questions and are just so ready to learn the truth. They go to a church but realize the things going on in that church are not right, so when we extended the invitation to come to our church they were not ready. They told us they have already made a poor choice once so they want to be sure before they decided again. The next time we meet Elder Johnson and I will share some scriptures with them that I came across during personal studies. It is found in Alma 32:21-33, 33:23. These s...

MERRY CHRISTMAS (12-23-19)

Hello Friends,  Afishapa!! That translates into Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I have been listening to Christmas music a lot and I especially love the song that reads, "its the most wonderful time, of the year."... This is definitely a true and accurate statement, and as I reflected on why this is my thought lead me back to my Savior.  Christmas is about Christ, and it pains me when I see His name replaced with an X. If you have fallen given into this disrespectful temptation by placing this on social media posts, or text messages, or even posters, then I would invite you to quickly repent and put Christ back into your Christmas and lives.  That is not the only way we take Christ out of Christmas however. It is so easy to get caught into the worldly aspects such as presents, decorations or even delicious food, that we might even forget the origin of this joy.  Even I almost got caught up on this recently as I was planning an activity for s...
