Hello

Hello Family and Friends,

This will probably be the shortest email yet. 

There has been a lot of drama this week and we passed Carly over to the Bison Ridge Sister Missionaries to teach. A lot of miss-communication and some mild offense was taken. Not very conducive to the Spirit at all, but such is the life of a missionary. You learn to work through it, and you try to grow and change from the experiences that you have.

I wanted to invite you all to read Elder Bednar's talk from the October 2014 Ensign. It is SOOOOOOO good. https://www.lds.org/ensign/2014/10/missionary-family-history-and-temple-work?lang=eng

It is probably one of the best talks I have ever read in my entire life. :D

I also wanted to invite you to read: The Everyday Missionary by Clayton M. Christensen. Though I haven't read it, over and over the past 3 weeks it has been talked about by various members and missionaries in the area. It is a phenomenal book. And I know it can help and bless your missionary efforts. 

I am so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know it is true no matter where you go in the world. I know that we can CHANGE when we use Christ's Atonement in our lives. I know that the Book of Mormon is the catalyst for that Change, for when we open it's pages, we can feel the Spirit, and we learn how to apply the Atonement in our lives. I know that we have a Father in Heaven who is mindful of each of us. He knows us by name and he loves us individually. He wants us to be happy and to succeed in this life. I am so grateful I am a missionary and have the opportunity to serve God's children and teach them about the Change that can take place in their lives. 

I hope you all have a safe and productive week.

Remember to think outside the box to find ways to share the gospel with your friends and family members. And always remember that when we Invite other to Come Unto Christ we Succeed. 

I love you all.

Love,

Sister Bryans
