CRAZY!!!

 Hey yall I didn't have alot of time to write this week cause I was pretty busy!! This week went super amazing! CHRISTMAS WAS AWESOME!!

Tuesday: we taught 2 lessons on tuesday one was more about our church and the other was with Jeanette Love again!! She is digging the church, we taught the Restoration and has just been feeling it is all true! We gave her the challenge to read the Book of Mormon we gave her and she is! She is gaining a testimony and has told us over and over again how she knows God has directed her to us and this church because she has been praying for that!! SHE IS AMAZING!! We ate Sushi with the Westenskows in our ward they are so cute they have two little kids, Alic and Winter! Winter is 4 and she IS SOOOO CUTE!! her and I played the piano together and then we played on the trampoline and then she showed me her very own princess room! So adorable!! 

Wednesday: a slower day we did facebook finding and have potential people to teach we will see! We went to the Pynes house for dinner and they are so fun! They have 4 kids under the age of 10 and they are so cute! Maddy (8), Nora( 5) and Reid(1) were so fun to teach a lesson too, i taught them about gifts to the savior and they were shouting out what gifts they could give then we wrote them down and put them in a basketball so they remember!! Such a great family!! 

Thursday: (Christmas Eve) we did Korea finding and some service but the highlight was district council!! I'll explain some things I learned in a little but it was just fun, we had our great discussion then after we made home-made pizza together, then played games and hung out and played sports then went home!!

Friday: (CHRISTMAS)

we had three families we went to!! We ended up at the Jagnandans, THEY ARE THE FUNNIEST PEOPLE!! they invited just about 15 elders and sisters over for brunch and it was so fun! Just an outstanding family!! We then went to the Ainsworths and they fed us some good food and we played apples to apples with the family! After we went over to THE FRANKS!! a Farley newly wed couple and they are great! We played games that I remember from home, we talked about traditions and about life!! SO DOWN TO EARTH!! AHHH

if you were wondering my mom gave me the 12 days of christmas and it was AWESOME!! so fun and thank you all who have sent stuff I really appreciate it and love you all!! 

Saturday: did service at the Church with our district and the Frank's!! We had the chance to visit our favorite person ever, SANDY!! she is an older lady who doesn't really have any family most of everyone had past away and shes a convert to the church about 5 years ago! She has such a unique and powerful testimony! She loves missionaries SO MUCH!! she has a log of missionaries that come throgub with everything about them and I made it on there with a picture of us together!! :) shes goofy and talks so funny! 

Sunday: went to church and helped out a guy in our ward with his son who has been struggling!! We were able to be a support for him! Then we gave the sacrament to SANDY!! and it was such a tender experience! She is literally so amazing!! 

Anyway I don't have tons of time but I read more of where I was in the Book of Mormon in 3 Nephi and I'm learning soso much!! I also studied agency and Accountability!! I LOVED LEARNING EVERYTHING ON THIS!! two talks that really stood out to me were

1. Choices - President Monson (April 2016)

2. Where will this lead? - President Oaks ( April 2019) 

Both such amazing talks!! We spoke on his previous talk 

Good, better, best and how we need to choose the best choices and I love this quote right here 

"Begin with the end in mind" -prez Nelson 

This is so important because if we know what our goal/objective/destination is we will know where to go and what choices to make and the path we have to take! The COVENANT PATH! 

our lives are on hinges and we choose how are destiny is! Choose the harder right then the easier wrong....

But ultimately just choose CHRIST! 

IM GRATEFUL FOR WHAT I LEARNED! 

I'm extremely grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ and His example and for His ultimate sacrifice for us! I know that this church is true!! I have had confirmation after confirmation out here that it is the true and living church on this earth! I KNOW it was restored by Jospeh Smith through God and I know he saw them with His own eyes! I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God and it is crucial for us in out lives it can help guide and help answer questions in our lives! I want you all to know how much my testimony has been strengthened in so many different principles and doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, because I have dedicated everything I am to His Church and His Gospel and I know that as you do as well you can Magnify your testimony so much more and not just that but it will ultimately CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER!! I know this to be true because I have seen it everyday out here for me!! Seek to do this make it your focus in life because truly it's EVERYTHING!! love you all so much!! Have a fantastic week and I'll write more next week :) ❤

Love, 

Elder Wold
