Updates

Today our missionary newsletter came out. Justin Thomas' mom(hereafter referred to as Momma Thomas), gets emails from several of our missionary friends and compiles into a nice little newsletter. I'll just throw up my favorite quote from each of them. This is the highlight of every month for me. I love how spiritual and personal everything is in South America.


Elder Lusty
Guatemala City North Mission

"
So there it is... In my first four months I have participated in baptisms, weddings, funerals, house and grave dedications, blessings, and much more... The Lord truly is leading my path."


Elder Thomas
Brazil Sao Paulo East Mission

"They teach us the language but its very basic stuff. But through that studying that we do I’m really starting to understand that the one thing that’s going to help me learn the language is faith in Christ."


Elder Steffensen
Brazil Goiania Mission

"I ate 14 slices of pizza which amounts to almost 2 pizzas."


Elder Ashby

Chile Osorno Mission

"
I had done nothing for them, the lord had done everything but she had expressed an amount of love that was incredible."


Elder Tyler
Jackson Mississippi Mission

"I speak to you all as my friends, but also as my brothers who I wish to rejoice like the Sons of Mosiah who were filled with Joy when they met. Not only because they were safe and alive, but because they were still right with the Lord. WE ARE THE WATCHMEN!"


Elder Pieper
Germany Munich/Austria Mission

"I know that this church is true and it brings more joy to our own lives as well as the lives of others when we do what is right."


Elder Natter
Guatemala Quetzaltenango Mission

"Everyday I hear at least once or twice "Don't leave Elder Natter" I'm the funniest person here and even the teacher told me not to leave."
