Week 75  March 23rd 202M
The next few weekly emails will for sure be different because we aren't doing much outside of the apt due to the quarantine. A few things that did happen, I finished the Book of Mormon on Sunday, it was an awesome experience to finish it for the 4th time on my Mission! We had a few video calls with the whole Mission aka Mission Conference. It was to help motivate us and continue to work hard. We also had a mission video call for sacrament meeting and a fireside. Those were both pretty cool! We went up to see the Central Falls Elders to help with videos for a "Scripture Madness" tournament.  Check out my Facebook to see what they are. We also stayed the night at the YSA Elders apt because the Central Falls apt had no beds. We then played a game of Risk with them, I lost but it was still pretty fun! We said some good byes to a few members as well. Finally for this week we got transfer Texts. Turns out both Elder Johnson and I will be leaving and the Narragansett Elders will be covering two areas now Newport and Narragansett. I will be "White Washing" Methuen/Billerica Massachusetts!

                         John 6

     "66 ¶ From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God"

     As followers of Christ we truly are Disciples of him! I love this passage where Jesus is talking to his apostles asking them will they leave him? Many things were happening at this time and people unfortunately lost faith, so followers of Christ fell away. In a similar sense scary things truly are happening at this time. As many of you know there is COVID-19 a global pandemic going on right now, also if you are in Salt Lake Valley area, you've experienced a decent size earthquake. At times like these people do loose faith in Christ because "why would He let this happen to us". As the passage goes on after Christ asked the apostles of they were going to leave him, they respond with "To whom shall we go". I love that as we loose faith I ask that same thing "To whom shall we go". It is only through Christ that we can be saved and return to live with our Father in Heaven for all Eternity. Only through Christ can WE have Eternal Life. Let us have faith in The Son the Living God, our Savior Jesus Christ. I am so glad I am able to be a missionary at this time. I know that I am called to where I am needed to help all of those around me, and to be able to use my Talents to help others come closer to Christ in their own lives. Lots of love to all of my friends and family, God bless, and I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
