Daily Repentance & Seeking and Expecting Miracles🤍☀️

 I ABSOLUTELY ADORED THESE PAST 2 WEEKS!! What miracles and changes we have seen. We are heading into the last week of the transfer. Crazy how fast the time passes. Anyway starting from 2 weeks ago we had Zone Conference!! It was really a marvelous Conference. We had the opportunity to train the missionaries on Obedience! Oh my goodness I love Obedience! It truly is the 1st Law of everything, especially the first law of Heaven. I know that through Obedience and Our Faith we are signaling to the Father that we are seeking and expecting Miracles!! With Obedience, 100 percent comes change. We change everyday to be more Obedient to our Father. 

A highlight for the rest of that week was exchanges and blitzes. We ended up finding 27 new people as a zone. Such a great step up! Throughout this week Elder Calhoun and I really focused on talking to everyone. There is power to talk to every single person and teach them and invite them to come unto Christ. We don't need permission to teach. God already gave us permission! Then asking for more people to teach. THIS IS TOO GREAT OF A CAUSE TO NOT DO ALL WE CAN TO TEACH, TESTIFY, AND INVITE. 

Miracles for our Friends: 

- Antwain and Marcy now have a baptismal date for July 16th (they are so excited to go to them temple to be sealed a year after that day) 

- Peronica and her Family are on date to be baptized on June 18th. She is converted and nothing will stop her. She will make a great relief society President and will bring so many of her friends and family to the Fold. A couple weeks ago she gave up everything that was holding her back from keeping the Word of Wisdom. She is spectacular!! 

- Leo Wall is now going to be getting baptized in June. We are shooting for June 4th but it may be the week after. She has been ready since I got to this area 6 months ago but with some things going on in her family now is the time. 

FRIENDS AND FAMILY!! MIRACLES ARE ALL AROUND US. THESE FRIENDS BEING CONVERTED ARE MIRACLES. THE 10 PEOPLE WE FOUND LAST WEEK ARE MIRACLES. THE PERSON I’M BECOMING BECAUSE OF MY SAVIOR IS A MIRACLE! 

I'm grateful to be a refined and strong instrument in His Hands! I am converted and strengthened because I focused on Him and Helping others come unto Him!! I was talking to my mom a lot today about Personal Study and also studying with friends, spouses, or family (aka companionship study)

We really focused on Personal Study and how vital it is. Who I am and what I know and can witness of is because of my studies then of me going out and teaching, loving, inviting, and testifying!! My knowledge is because of my Heavenly Father! 

I invite each of you, if your personal study is lacking, to repent!! 

Repentance is changing!! It shouldn't be coupled with just us repenting of major serious sins. Even though that is so important. It's also here for us to become one Percent Better. For us to change the little things to more fully turn, look, and focus on CHRIST!! He is what is important. Try new things to study. Read the Book of Mormon and Bible with a topic on mind. Do a study on a specific topic (Standard works, and conference talk) and use the resources you have. Most importantly have an experience in your study. Have an experience everyday in which the Holy Spirit of God can testify to you eternal and restored truths!! Let's stop snorkeling and start scuba diving!! 

I'm grateful for this Work! I had the great privilege to go through the temple with a recent convert and her husband. They are so precious! They get married in 2 weeks. As we went through the temple for her endowment the Spirit was so strong. It was in Spanish which added a little bit of a challenge but it was special!! The feelings I felt are unspeakable. As we were in the Celestial Room. This man came through the doors balling. He hasn't been to the temple in 15 years. He came and gave me a big hug and talked to me. Shortly after his wife came through. It was the most pure and tender thing ever!!

I love the temple and the Everlasting and special covenants and promises we make with Our Father!! I pray that each of you who have made those things will reflect and ponder more about those throughout the week. Remember what it truly means to you! Remember what lack I yet! I promise that as you do so you will see Miracles in your life. You will increase in wisdom and knowledge! I promise in Christ’s name that you will feel His unconditional and eternal love for you. I feel it and I plead that you will seek it! 

I had so many great experiences this week with reading the Book of Mormon. One that hits me a lot is in the Book of Mormon during the war chapters. CAPITAN MORONI!! is a legend!! I love the person He is. He is a very righteous and humble young man who is confident and optimistic!! He is Obedient and diligent in all things. 

These chapters talk a lot about his preparation and his fortifications. Which apply in our life as ways we can make our weak things become strong. Even when they won their battle they kept fortifying and preparing so that there is nothing that could drag them down. It's so true. We do as much as we can to show Our willingness to the Father and He strengthens and blesses us. 

Same with Mark 6 with the 2 fishes and the 5 loaves. We bring all that we have and all that we are. And He makes it enough. It's about our willingness and submissivness. 

Aight way too long and I'm tired and have no idea what I was rambling about but I know that it is important to signal to the Father that we are willing to be Obedient, increasing our Faith, repenting, turning outward, having chairty, and submitting our will and to sacrifice who we are for Him, who is perfect!! I know we can be perfect even as Christ and Our Father is Perfect!! It takes willingness and change!! 

I’m going to study Humility and submissivness this week. So I will return and report!! Love you all so much!! I will write down more of my studies in my journal so that I can share my deeper knowledge and 

testimony!!

Have the best week!! 

Make sure to signal to the Father you are seeking and expecting miracles!! 

Yoked to Christ!

Faith & Obedience = JOY & MIRACLES

 WOW! ITS BEEN 3 WEEKS SINCE IVE WRITTEN. SO SORRY. THESE PAST WEEK HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY MIRACLOUS!! I just want to start by saying how grateful I am to be a missionary for my Savior, Jesus Christ! Set apart from the world. With the Authority and the ability to exercise His Power! 

Brief Update! We had transfers and I'm staying with Elder Calhoun!! LETS GOOO!! ☆ MIRACLES: 

- 2 weeks ago we had 14 people at church. We had set goals and really prayed and fasted for these people to come and THEY DID!! God is soo Good!! We were happy we signaled to Him that we were here to do all we could. 

- Antwain and Marcy: Ahhh their progressing so well. They read everyday. They watch videos of the Restoration and the gospel everyday too. They are referring people everywhere haha, such great missionaries and they aren't members yet. We are shooting for the end of June beginning of July just because of a logistical thing they have. They are so excited!! I will be gone from the area but will be able to come back.

- Leo has a date hopefully being set on June 4th. We are excited for her. We had a bomb lesson yesterday at church church 5 young women. She felt loved and included. 

- We met this guy named Tommy. He is a believer but loved what we taught and started to cry. He wants to come to church and join us. 

- CRAZY STORY. Ivan!! Yesterday we prayed for and covenanted with the Father to act on impressions we recieve from him. He gave us one yesterday as we were getting our friends to church. We saw a Phone. We grabbed it and started charging it while we were at church with our friends. Came back after and called the only number we saw that called it. We went to the house to give it back. These girls left, Ivan was laying on the couch. He apparently got messed up last night. He said it was a miracle we had his phone and that we'd even give it back. He cried and talked about his rough life. We taught him the Whole Restoration and taught him about church and baptism. He is so ready to change! It was remarkable to see.  We are teaching him tonight!! 

We have been working ALOT WITH MEMBERS!! Each member and family have their own story. I can't write them all in here mainly because I already wrote them in my journal but 🤣. There is a specific family that has been reactivated. He is the Ward Mission Leader now. They are now entering the temple this Saturday to prepare prepare get married in a couple weeks. We were invited. Now cool story. She is a convert of 6 years. The missionaries that taught her and baptized her, their first names were 

- Cody and Nathan. She decided to look at our first names on LDS tools. She was brought to tears and told us she is so grateful. We gave her a huge hug. We are so excited for this weekend. 

The Members  in the Winder Ward are becoming stronger and closer. They are ready to be missionaries! It's AMAZING to see the change that occurs as we focus on Christ and turn outward like He does!!

We have had many people come to church from members inviting their friends!! We started to teach a couple of them. I testify that ghe Field is White, Already to harvest!! Please join us in this work of "Scattering Sunshine" In small ways. By loving and including. By sharing anf inviting. I promise that if you are cleaning the inner vessel and striving to be Obedient and increasing your Faith everyday you will experience more Joy. Joy that will scatter to those you interact with. These interactions and the person you are becoming will allow for the miracles to occur for both yourself and for people around you that need help and that need to be brought back to our Heavenly Fathers Home. 

I'm very grateful for these past weeks to give of my whole self. To consecrate my efforts to be a servant to the Lord of the Vineyard! I'm the MOST JOYOUS I've ever been in my whole entire life!! 😁😁 That is because of my Obedience to the commandments and to the Missiom Standards. That's because I strive everyday to learn and grow! I strive to become who my Heavenly Father needs and pleads for me to be. I hope and I pray that I can continue to be a perfect trier so that one day I can be perfect just like my Brother and Father! I've given this invitation before but, I invite each of you to have an experience with the Book of Mormon everyday. Even if it's a couple lines or if it's reading a chapter. Have an experience that is meaningful to you. Something that is applicable in your life! If you can do i promise you'll see a difference in every aspect of your day. This is God's divine Power being brought into our lives. 

I bear you my witness of Jesus Christ! I know He lives!! I know He loves you and me individually and perfectly. I know we have Heavenly Parents who know us by name. Who know our needs. Who knows our trials and challenges. I know Heavenly Father Loves us so much that He truly has given us His Son to Strengthen and Help us in this mortal life. I know we've been given His Spirit to protect, guide, love, and teach us. I know that it is through our Eternal Father, through Jesus Christ, and through The Holy Ghost that we can live a celestial Glory and become perfect just like Heavenly Father. I tesfity of The Book of Mormon, of its truth and divinity! The Book of Mormon coupled with the Bible give us the Fullness and ghe Everlasting Gospel of Jesus Christ! It has the plain and precious truths. It truly is the Iron Rod back to God. As we follow the gospel and read everyday we will grow grace by grace, line upon line, and precept upon precept. I close with the power of Obedience! Obedience is the 1st Law of Heaven! It's the 1st law of EVERYTHING! I know that  when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated." God is a giver of all Great Gifts, if we are Obedient, Worthy, Faithful, and diligent. I love this Work! I love the gift that we call life that He has given us. I know that my purpose on this Earth is to fulfill my Fathers Purpose. "To bring to pass the immortality and Eternal Life of Man" 

Let us all help Fulfill His work and His Glory! Let us strive to Scatter Sunshine!! Focus on Obedience and ways we can change. Focus in increasing your Faith!! 

YOU WILL FIND JOY!!

YOU WILL SEE MIRACLES!! 

YOU WILL BECOME MORE CELESTIAL!! 

Love,

Elder Wold
