Every day is different, full of new people, singular experiences and miracles every moment.
This
week I experienced something in Ohio I never imagined I would. A family
from the Marshall islands and the Philippines invited us over for
dinner and oh my goodness it was so good. I never imagined that the next
time I would be able to eat that food would be on my mission in Ohio! haha
Anyways, the work here in Piqua is still amazing. There are many people to teach and we find more people everyday!
Something
that made this week exceptional though, and what I would like to talk
about, is how perfectly God has organized His church. We recently lost
our beloved prophet Thomas S. Monson. What an amazing man. He is the
definition of a disciple of Christ, full of love, serving the
individual, and always following the guidance of the spirit. It is sad
to see him go, but nothing interferes with the Lord's purposes. It
amazes me how leadership in the church transfers so seamlessly, but most
things directed by God usually amaze me.
I
have an unshakable testimony that God directs this church. The doctrine
contained in it is true, and we can trust that because there is a
prophet, a mouthpiece for he Lord, on the Earth. That prophet's name is
Russell M. Nelson and I am excited to learn and serve under his
direction.
I love
Jesus Christ! I am grateful that He chose to be my Savior. He is my
friend, my support, my teacher, my example. I am grateful to be His
missionary to help others come closer to Him.

Nephi 5:13 "Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I
have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they
might have everlasting life."
What
a fantastic calling! I am grateful to have this commission, to have a
living prophet to guide us there, and a Savior that allows us to receive
that everlasting life!
Also, we just had the best day ever! We got to go to the temple with some of our favorite people :) I love the temple!
I love you all, just keep smiling!
