Week 37- FSY Counselor

Hello hello hello hello! Hellooooo! How is everyone?

God really wanted to astonish us this week and he DID. We made 12 new friends and the week was sooo busy, I honestly don't even know how it happened but GOD IS AWESOME. We were also about to put two people on date so now we have 4 on date! No way God isn't real that's all I have to say. 

Lots of great things happened this week. First was I got to attend sweet Graham's funeral and what a blessing he was to me. It was so special to celebrate his life with other missionaries and talk about our experiences together. Man! I miss him so much but it makes me so joyful knowing the missionary he is in Heaven right now. Sister Rowland found the PERFECT scripture that describes him exactly. D+C 138:55-57

 "I beheld that the faithful elders of this dispensation, when they depart from mortal life, continue their labors in the preaching of the gospel of repentance and redemption, through the sacrifice of the Only Begotten Son of God, among those who are in darkness and under the bondage of sin in the great world of the spirits of the dead."

I LOVE GRAHAM! He has changed me forever 

Alsoooo got to go to Scotland FSY by the Preston temple! WAZZGOOD. It was seriously so awesome. We got to teach a missionary class 5 times with Elder Ashworth, Elder Carlile, and Elder Keisel. It was so much fun. Felt like I was 13 again. We shared what it is like as a missionary and they asked us loads of questions. The goal was to get them out there on a mission! Because they are just so needed. To think that they were prepared before this life to be here for this great work, is so special. Just like all of YOU. You were all prepared with Heavenly Father before this life to be here at this exact time to do exactly what you're doing with his help. How motivating is that. At FSY, after one of the classes, a girl named Taylor came up to me and said, "I'm going to start crying. Thank you so much for your testimony, that was exactly what I needed to hear. I came to FSY looking for something and you helped answer that." THE HECK! It made my entire week, knowing that my words through the spirit made an impact on a 14 year old girl. I love her so much. 

SHOUTOUT SIS BALDWIN AND WINGET I met so many youth that love you so much. 

Sorry for the essay. Just such a good week where God really revealed he was here and aware. You can also have this same experince too. All you need to do is choose! 

Love you loads. Staaaay sweet and keep following Jesus Christ and you'll be just fine.

Cheeeers
