Episode 8: Mosiah 2:17

"And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God." Mosiah 2:17

Hello Everyone!
Wow this week has been a laboring week!! We were able to minister to our fellow members and to help them with...SPRING CLEANING!! Haha It has been a week of service for us and nothing is so rewarding than serving one another. First, we mowed our neighbors lawn and we were able to show our other neighbors how we really do just want to serve, and now we have more opportunities to let our neighborhood know that we are pretty normal God-loving people! A lot of people are out and about on the streets now that spring is coming, so our contacting has been going through the roofs! We are just talking to people left and right! I love spring time! We were also able to help a member in the ward with weeding and hauling rocks and trimming trees, which in West Virginia there are a lot of trees and weeds!! Everything is in bloom now and I'm starting to see the true beauty of West Virginia! I love this place more and more!

We have been able to teach this part member family and I think we finally got to the bottom of her problem with progressing. Interesting enough she hadn't been reading the Book of Mormon and when she finally picked it up and read it, things started to click for her! The power the Book of Mormon is unreal and how much it can help us with our trials and just everyday life is infinite. I love testifying of the Book of Mormon especially having a real connection to the people, specifically my ancestors. Since I come from Native American heritage, I have been able to testify the realness of it and to show people how true this book is. The Book of Mormon is the center of this gospel and if we don't have a testimony of it, you need to get one! I know my Savior lives and works with us and through us everyday. I love this time of year to truly think of Him. I can't wait to see this next weeks' blessings as we all turn more towards the Savior and honor His life and resurrection. The church is true!!

Elder and Sister Wood visited the Parkersburg Sisters!! They were there to inspect the Charleston zone missionaries' apartments. Sister Wood sent pictures and said "I can tell you your daughter is living the Gospel and is a valiant part of the Lord's Army!! I think sometimes these gals are having too much fun!! It fills my heart with joy to be around their shining spirits!!"
