Missionary Mail……..Sister Ellen Jones North Dakota Bismark Mission
Spiritual thought:
This last transfer, I have been able to really see the Lord works through me and help me to grow myself.
I really didn’t know what was going to happen this transfer, a lot of things really did not go how we were expecting but we were able to see so many miracles that came out of it, and I am so grateful for the time that I was able to be up here in Minot ND.

This transfer, I have really been able to focus on my studying, specially my study of the scriptures, and it has grown my testimony in my faith in the Lord, in his church, and in what I’m doing so much more than I ever thought.
I am so grateful for how much he has taught me and I am so excited to see how it’s going to continue to bless me, the other missionaries I serve around and the amazing people in Rapid City.

Missionary Mail…..
I was transfered from Santiago after three cycles to Alicia, so I am about a 45 minutes bus ride from my last area and I still occasionally see people who knew me from Santiago! I also have a new companion and responsibility by training! I am half training Sister Kilimbashe from South Africa, and it is a lot of fun! Its like reliving my training days through her and we have a lot of fun together!

We have a baptism coming up this weekend with our new friend and he is sooo excited!

It has been a lot of fun sharing the gospel with everyone and trying to speak with everyone!

I know that God makes the difference in our lives, especially when we exercise faith in Jesus Christ. Whatever you are going through, turn to Christ and choose to walk with Him! You are loved by Him!

When the beautiful St Louis Temple was dedicated 29 years ago, it was the temple assigned to what is now the Grand River Missouri Stake. What a glorious day that was and what a blessing it was to those who lived here.

“Brothers and sisters, as the world grows more wicked, we need to grow increasingly pure. Our thoughts, words, and actions need to be unfailingly virtuous and filled with the pure love of Jesus Christ towards all men. The great opportunity before us is to become the people God needs us to be.”
“Regular worship in the house of the Lord increases our capacity for both virtue and charity. Thus, time in the temple increases our confidence before the Lord. Increased time in the temple will help us prepare for the Second Coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We do not know the day or the hour of His coming. But I do know that the Lord is prompting me to urge us to get ready for that “great and dreadful day.””
Confidence in the Presence of God
By President Russell M. Nelson
