Elder Shirley's birthday pizza party

This week was another great week!! This week we were able to have a wonderful baptism for Elijah and he has been such a fun boy to teach. He is a 17 year old boy who has had a really cool conversion over his different ways of God answering his prayers. He explained to us that he has been receiving a lot of bad comments about the church from peers and friends while we have been teaching him because of the power of the devil in other people’s lives, but that long ago his dad told him that if anyone ever gave him opposition in his life then it meant that whatever he was doing was right. This statement is so true!! We see that over the world, so many bad, rude, mean, vulgar comments are said about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints but I believe it is because it is the only true church on the earth. The devil wants to take away people from the one and only true church so he sends people out with evil rude comments about the Church of Jesus Christ. We all need to hold fast to what we know is true and never waver, because with that small moment of wavering, Satan has a chance to snatch us.

Anyways this is something that I have noticed and thought about this week. I know that God is always willing to help us in our lives if we ask him for the help!! I love being a missionary and having the opportunity to help so many people find the light and the truth. As an invitation to everyone this week I would just invite everyone to go out and find a way to serve someone not in your family the way that Jesus Christ would serve and you will see the impact that it can have on someone’s life!!

Love you!!
