Lieve Familie,
Wow. Welcome to the world Leo my new nephew! You have just joined the best
family EVER. Happy Anniversary Momma and Dad! 31 years strong.
So proud and gosh do I love you guys sooooooo much! Right now...
I feel so blessed! God is good:)
Well family while
you guys were all busy with school, sports, giving birth, and celebrating--
Your bro/son Jason was together with Elder McLovin doing the work of the Lord.
This week we saw so many miracles and blessings. I can’t even write down the
stories or the things we have seen. Last week included us giving the first
lesson 3 times to new investigators and all 3 were seriously found through the
spirit. It was also full of many appointments where we had the privilege of
bearing testimony over the Love of God and His son Jesus Christ. Seriously it
was a great, powerful, uplifting week! Our investigators are increasing and
since being here in Emmen we have already re-activated 3 members. It has
truly been a privilege to perform this labor of love and although it is hard
and can be difficult, I am a firm believer in the Quote Mom gave me
of " Happiness is wherever YOU decide it will be". I have
just decided that happiness is everywhere.
This last Sunday I was
the closing speaker in our Branch. I spoke mostly about time and making the
best of it. For some reason the subject of "time" has really caught
my attention recently. I think it is just because of how fast the time really
is going by and how it is scaring me!!! I mean I am now an uncle to 3 little
kids, it has now almost been 16 months since I came on my mission, and CHLOE IS
GOING TO HOMECOMING?!?! (Since when did she get her braces off???!) Seriously
this time has been going by so fast and it just blows my mind. AAAHHHHHHH!
But Fam just know
that I am well aware of the time. I am also well aware that with time comes
also change.. I would be lying to myself if I said that nothing has
changed back at home when I know it has. And I would be lying to myself if
I said I haven’t changed in the past year and months when I know that I have. Don’t
worry all these changes are positive. These changes are positive because I know
for a fact that we have all changed in coming closer to Our Heavenly Father and
relying more on him and his plan. "ALLES HEEFT EEN REDEN" I am
convinced that the Gospel is true because I have applied it and seen the
change. The Lord doesn’t work in huge ways.. Just small and simple ways
"" Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but
behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to
pass..." (Alma 37:6). 2
years is small compared to a lifetime, but inside these 2 years the Lord is
bring to pass great and marvelous things.
I love you and miss you all. I
hold you all daily in my prayers. Be safe, have a great week, and never forget
the great words of BATMAN - "Its not who you are underneath,
its what you do that defines you"
Do your best folks!!
Love,
Big Dude
Enjoy to the End!!
