July 9, 2018 - 6 more in the mook

Elder & Sister Nielson
We got transfer calls this past Saturday and Elder McElmurry and I will both be staying in Tillamook for another transfer! I am so excited as the ward here is amazing and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. Most missionaries in this mission don't get to see the ocean let alone serve on it for six months, I have been very blessed.

This past week as Elder McElmurry and I have been focusing on becoming more unified in all that we do, we have seen many blessing and miracles happen. We have been able to find quite a few people this past week and many of them seem to have a lot of potential. A huge miracle is that LaTasha has had her baptismal interview and is super excited to be baptized this upcoming Saturday! Both Elder McElmurry and I have been very blessed to see all of the changes in her and witness first hand really what the possibilities are through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. He can help us to reach our fullest potential, or destiny, if only we rely fully on him.
One of my favorite scriptures at the moment comes from Mosiah 24: 15 "Now it came to pass that the burdens which were laid upon Alma and his brethren were made light; yea, the Lord did strengthen them that they could bear up their burdens with ease, and they did submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord. 16 And it came to pass that so great was their faith and their patience." I love this because when we pray to God and ask for strength he doesn't just leave us in all of our troubles but he helps to lead and guide us through them all. He will strengthen us if we turn to him, it may not come immediately but it will come eventually when we need it the most.

I absolutely love this gospel and everything I am learning about. I know that God loves each and every one of us. He will lift us up in our trials and carry us through them. He is a perfectly just and merciful God and because of that he sent his son so we could all live with him again. I love you all!
