Hey guys! How the heck are ya!? Miss and love you all.
Things are going pretty good here in Westport! I think Elder
Nelson and I are starting to handle things here pretty well for a couple of
African Elders!! Ahah but now we've kinda got a groove and have been enjoying
it more as we've had more service to do and lessons to give.
Happy 4th of July! I'm so grateful to live in a country that
has allowed for the gospel of Jesus Christ to be restored! We are truly
blessed!
Well not too much news to share with you guys ahaha. Were
not teaching many people but just reading and doing lessons with the members.
Were really trying to get better at finding people to teach on Facebook which
has been super cool!
I'd like to share a spiritual thought with you guys. It's
about one of my favorite poems. I've attached a picture of it at the bottom.
But it's essentially talkes about how the trees that grow to be the biggest and
tallest aren't the trees that never faced storms in their live, and so it is
with men. The poem really helps me to see how the trials we face in our lives
are really there to help us grow and become stronger. It's not always, and I
would say never possible or easy, to see the good that will come from the
adversity we are facing in the moment. But if we look to the Savior, knowing he
has been there before and is with us now, he can help us turn those trails into
triumphs! That is something so comforting to me and something that really
touched me this week so I wanted to share it with all of you!
Miss you all and love you all,
Also I love hearing from ya and if you ever need anything
just give me a holler!
💙Elder Mumford
