!!!Please Read!!!

Hi, you don't actually have to read this but there is a music video at the bottom for you all :) 

This week was the best week of my mission so far. God works miracles in our lives when we allow him to do so. Excersize that beautiful gift of agency weve been blessed with to open the door to a better life than you could ever create on your own!

Today for p day President and Sister Oldham invited us to some of the famous gardens and tourist attractions here in Curitiba! It was amazing and so fun! Pictures below.
A miracle of this week comes from a friend of mine named Rael. Rael's phone hasn't been working so we havent had contact with him at all. His aunt is a member, but he just kinda took a break from the church because he felt like his life was pretty good without talking to us or coming to church. But, on Saturday his aunt, Leda, called us and asked if they could go to Stake Conference with us, and he would even give us a ride! (that's another miracle because it's like 10 miles to the Stake center) After the conference (which was fantastic!) Rael told us that he had silent prayers answered because for the past couple weeks he's just been feeling so low and depressed. The last speaker talked about it and had some amazing answers for Rael. 
Now why would I tell this story? The same week Rael decided his life was fine without that amazing blessing of Jesus Christ, and stepped away, was the week he started getting really low and losing energy. The Spirit has energy. It's loving, warm, and welcoming. It lets us know that there's more to life than working until we die. I want to urge each and every single one of you to please, please, please reach out to God. He loves you, he misses you, and he wants to talk to you. Like any parent wants to with their children!

I love you all!

Josh’s Missionary Setting Apart Blessing                           January 5, 2021   Stake Presidency asked us, as a family, to give Josh advice as he starts his mission. Mom:   Personality that draws people in. You’ll do great wherever you go.  Don’t change who are.  Be the Missionary you were meant to be. Dad:   you are prepared!! But don’t feel too prepared.  Keep an open mind and be ready to Make Your Own Mission.  Each Path is your own.  The things that hit you in the heart are the things that make it hard.  YOU ARE READY!  You will have miracles. Jake:   God is no respecter of persons….All Gods promises are available to all.  D&C 4:4….You aren’t here to plant seeds, you are here to Harvest.  God accepts your efforts....
