I Am A Child Of God!

Hello everyone! Thanksgiving was fantastic! I've been blessed to have 2 amazing Thanksgivings on my mission. We went to the James family's and they made practically everything my mom normally makes and we all went around and said what we were thankful for. It was super good.

We had Stake Conference on Sunday and it was one of the best I've been to. I got to see the Kenny's and a couple other people my dad knew back in his day. President and Sister McReynolds gave some amazing talks. Libby came along and she said it was her favorite thing she's been to. Lately, she loves coming to church. It's so crazy to see the changes she's made in 2 months time. The power of the gospel is indescribable honestly. The whole theme of our lessons with her this week and stake conference was "I Am A Child of God" which was something she really liked. She finishes the Book of Mormon 21 Day Challenge today! We also read the baptismal interview questions. #subtle
In other news, we are teaching 4 people named Steven at the moment. Not even kidding. It's the most common name in England I'm convinced but yeah good stuff!

We are in Liverpool for pday again as per. We are shopping and playing spoons and it gets pretty rowdy. We have zone conference this week and a Christmas Fireside that we're bring Libby to so it should be a good week!

Just on the subject of  "I Am A Child of God" I just wanted to share a quote from a talk given in April 2018 by Elder Brian K. Taylor
"Coming to know our Father changes everything, especially our hearts, as His gentle Spirit confirms our true identity and great worth in His sight. God walks with us along the covenant path as we seek Him through prayerful pleadings, scriptural searchings, and obedient strivings."
I just know with all my heart that Heavenly Father walks with us. He loves us more than we can comprehend. His love will never waver. I've seen so many people completely foreign to the phrase " I Am A Child of God" experience so much more joy and peace as they come to know their true identity and Father in Heaven.

I love this work and I love you all!

  1. Precious sister in Christ,GOD is for real and HE knows you and HE loves you. now,if you too love HIM and Truth,it is important you come to know a well known documented and verified truth(although,hypocrites try to deny it by telling silly lies),that is the book of Mormon is totally worthless(Never a Tribe of Israel went to the Americas to give birth to the Natives-the DNA test denies it-... and far less the Lord JESUS. Truly,the so called original manuscript with the "pearl of great price" were mere lists of obituaries written in the old language of Egypt,which Smith had purchased in a library and not discovered in a wood,and the "apostles" in Salt Lake know it well;by the way,'cause Hyrum and Joseph were Freemasons,many rituals followed in the temples come from masonry). We have,already,a perfect testament,which you can find it in the GOSPEL(Galatians 1,6-9,Jude 3-4). May the Grace and the Love of our Heavenly Father find a warm welcome in your soul,so that his Holy Spirit can protect you from deception,sin and hell(Luke 12,1-12);until the day-if,you turn earnestly and with humility to our Lord JESUS to get his personal revelation with his forgiveness and holy freedom;and,so,to taste his fellowship with his peace and mercy-you too 'll enter the joy of Paradise. In God's love and Truth
