Alright, so now stuff about me....

Well, i am still here in Huntsville! ive been in bama for a month now and its been awesome thus far! We work with so many different people, i speak spanish to new people every day, yes there's quite a lot of Spanish people in Alabama!!! i can tell you that sometimes missions are hard, but they are so worth it! anybody with a question of rather to go or not, go! you will not regret it! ive grown so much closer to our heavenly father and i feel true joy from doing the work of the lord. Choose to serve the lord, you will be blessed no matter how small of service that may be :)

The coolest part of being a missionary is being literally the hand of the lord in his work! I had just an awesome experience this week that shows hoe the lord will always help you be in the right place at the right time if you are striving to follow exactly what he wants you to do. here it is .

Me and elder Jackson were biking and having one of those days where no appointments work out and you're constantly getting rejected. It was begging to really start to get us down, but then something awesome happened! We ran into one of our progressing investigators who needed our help. I had prayed the night before to have an opportunity for service that next day and we got one! So we rolled up and saw her with her car, hood up, and some white guy who couldn not speak spanish trying to help her. We stopped and talked to her and found out that she needed to put more oil in her car but didnt know how and she had lost the oil cap. So, we were able to add oil to her car and get her over across the street to auto zone and do all of the necessary translating so that she could get the part she needed and get her car all back to running order. It was just amazing to see how sometimes you go through hard days and everything seams to go wrong only to make sure that you are in the right place at the right time! The lords hand really is in our work, he knows where we need to be to help people come unto Christ and i'm so grateful to be part of his work here. We are continuing to teach this lady (her names maria) and we're hoping to see her keep progressing! 

It was so cool! The very lady we are teaching needed help and although we were having a bad day the lord made sure that we were right were we needed to be! I know he lives and he loves us! I hope we can always live our lives to be led by the lord to be in the right spot to help someone in need :)

That wasnt all though! i also had an amazing experience and opportunity to attend the temple this week!!! I didnt know this last week but on saturday i got to attened the temple with the spanish branch me and elder Jackson work with! they went down to the temple  as a branch to do baptisms and since its small me and elder jackson came with to be extra priesthood holders :) It was really fun to be in the temple! expessially to get to work with baptisms because you almost never do that as a missionary! Me and one of the elders from gardendale, elder pendleton,(who was with me in the mtc) were witnesses for almost 30 branch members! it was such a great activity, thats almost all of the active members in our branch! elder Jackson and elder pendletons comp (i forgot his name) did confirmations. The temple there in Birmingham is really small, but it is still a house of the lord and it is so special to be able to go in and be a part of such sacred ordinances :) 

hopefully my mom will get the pictures of that even in the next few days and be able to add them to the blog. :) 

anyways, i am out of time for today, but i want everyone to know that the lord loves them! he is watching out for you! i challenge everyone to try and be a bit of a missionary and help others in need, share a video or an uplifting thought, help someone in need! thats the true spirit of christianity! I love each and every one of you! stay steadfast in christ, he is the light of the world and he loves all of us! to share one last thing, go read 2 nephi 32:3 

Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost; wherefore, theyspeak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do. 

By studying, the holy ghost will help guide you and lead you to help others and to really be able to be a servant of the lord :) study daily and pray, they'res huge power in the smallest things! 

I love all of you! have a great week!
