Cheers to One Year!

Well this week was the 13th of September.... One year ago I entered the Provo MTC and put on a missionary badge for the first time. I can't believe how fast it's gone and how much I've learned. Four areas, seven companions, lots of laughs, lots of miracles, lots of tears, lots of rain, but most of all, lots of JOY. I've loved helping others come unto Christ whilst coming closer to Him myself. It is true when they say a mission is life changing!

Well we had a great week. My comp and I were both a bit sick with a cold so that messed up the week quite a bit but we still saw miracles! Most of our investigators are on holiday which is hard but we still have loads to do. We've been visiting a bunch of less actives and it's been really good. Josh is all set to be baptised on Saturday. Satan's gonna work hard on him so everyone keep him in yalls prayers!

Lol not much else to update yall on but a scripture Sister McReynolds shared at Zone Conference last week that particularly struck me is found in Mosiah 5:12 "I say unto you, I would that ye should remember to retain the name written always in your hearts, that ye are not found on the left hand of God, but that ye hear and know the voice by which ye shall be called, and also, the name by which he shall call you."

I honestly can't read that without weeping (missions make ya soft). I'm so grateful to have had His name written on a badge for the last year and to have been able to represent him every single hour of every single day. Whether you're on a mission or not, always REMEMBER to retain His name. I love this gospel and I love this work. This year has been so incredibly special to me and I can't believe how fast it's gone. I'm grateful for another 6 months here in England as a representative of Christ.

Love y'all! xx
