We Lead By Example

May 6, 2019

This week was another great week in Ghana!! For me right now, I am really loving the work of a missionary and I really see myself grow more and more each day!! Sometimes missionary work is not easy but it is so rewarding and I love having the opportunity to be a servant of the Lord.

I will just share one cool experience to you. Right now we have a person that we are teaching who has a daughter out serving a mission right now and we are teaching her. She is progressing really well and loving the messages that we are sharing. One thing that she told us is she said, "At first I did not believe that your church was true and Jesus Christ’s church, but the love that you show to me and the way that I feel the spirit has really shown me that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the true church". This experience really touched my heart and let me know that God really does reach out to all of his children through the spirit!!

Something that I have always believed is that we lead by example way more than we lead by words. Be the person that Jesus Christ would have you to be and you can really change and help other people for the better!! I feel like I am having so much fun right now helping people with their lives!! I love Ghana!!

Have a great week and I love you!
