I know it is so important that we have the gospel in our homes. That is where our children will learn most about Christ and his teachings. As we teach our children and raise them in a spiritual environment they will be able to recognize truth and know of their divine potential.

The best way we can know how we can teach our children is by listening to modern day prophets. They receive revelation from God for us and our families. That's why I included this talk from Brother Devin Durrant about teaching our children in our homes.

As you listen to this talk, please recognize something that you could work on as a current parent or as a future parent.

Week 25

 Martinsburg, West Virginia

Well these couple weeks in Martinsburg have been awesome! Lots of stuff has happened. 

The first two days I was here it snowed non-stop. It snowed a foot and a half. We were snowed in for two days! 

We also went to Antietam battlefield. 

We do yoga every Monday morning. 

We play volleyball every Saturday morning. 

We volunteer are the veteran hospital. And on the fifth floor they have a lot of old people they take care of. We are their friends. We talk to them and and wheel them around. There's two guy's in there who are over 100 years old! One of them, every time we ask him how's he doing. He says," I'm old." Haha they're super funny and awesome to talk to. 

The people in my district are Elders Walgamot, Teske, (and my companion) Jacobsen. And we have Sisters Stringam and Eborn. They're all great missionaries. 

The ward's awesome and we eat a tons here. I can already tell that I'm going to gain some weight here!

Conference was awesome! Some new changes coming up that I know are a part of the hastening! All of the changes are just like the changes to PMG (Preach My Gospel). I'm super excited for it all to happen!

That's all for this week! Love ya guys!

Week 23

Surprise!

Well this week has been great! We found some more people and helped them! Which is awesome! 

Some pretty crazy stuff happened this week! We were knocking and we were pretty far away from our house. It was super cold but we knew we had a ride back from a member. So it was getting late and cold so we called him. No answer... so we called another member, no answer... eventually we ended up calling the sisters, no answer... So we send them a text message asking them to pick us up. Half hour later they pick us up and we are completely frozen. But we did survive.

We were also driving down and saw this huge convoy of cop cars and army trucks drive past and they stop at this house and all of this swat get out and apparently its a drug bust. Pretty crazy!

We had stake conference this week. It was awesome to hear from the stake and everything!

And last but not least the craziest part of the story! I just got a call 20 mins ago from the assistants that I'm going to be transferring to Martinsburg, WV tonight at 7 So I'll be in a new area tonight! It's too bad because Elder Brown is probably going to be my favorite companion.. It's super sad and it throws our plans way off. But oh well..

Hope you all had a good week this week! Love yall!

This picture was sent to Joquel by a member that said Elder Beardall and Elder Brown were at their house.

Week 22

Miracles upon Miracles!

This week has been great! 

We found 4 new investigators this week and they were all awesome! One of those investigators names is Alex. We found him when we street contacted his neighbor. When we were trying by his neighbor, (who didn't answer) we talked to him and said we could come back later. We taught him the restoration and we left him the Book of Mormon to read. He said we could come back tomorrow and talk about what he had read. When we got there yesterday his girlfriend was there as well! We started to talk to her about the Book of Mormon and she said that she was already a member! Turns out she was baptized here in 2004, then moved to Georgia. When she came back she lost contact with the church.

It's crazy how if we hadn't talked to his neighbor then to Alex, we wouldn't have found them! 

Steven had his interview with President Christiansen and he was given the "okay" to be baptized which is super awesome! I've been working with Steven for almost 5 months and now I'll get to see him baptized!
