Merry Christmas!!



First off I want to say Merry Christmas and it was amazing to Skype you guys yesterday! I love you all!

So first off I wanted to share something I noticed this week. It is a comfort to know that whenever something hard happens in life there are always going to be people to help out and no matter what we will always have our Savior! This week I have been realizing more and more that God answers peoples prayers through other people. I have seen a lot of people give this time of year weather it be giving Christmas presents to people who are going through a financial struggle or just giving someone counsel when they are going through a hard time.

I have had an amazing week this week! It is crazy all that I can learn in just one week as a missionary! One thing that I have learned is that as a missionary you not only realize how much the Holy Ghost is speaking to you but I have also realized that you understand when Satan is also working on you and trying to tare you down. It has been a blessing to realize that more because then I can tell myself that it is Satan saying I am not good enough and not it really being true. (I hope that makes sense!) That being said, I am having an amazing time here in Salmon! I am learning a lot and we are so blessed! You are exactly right when you said that this is sacred time!

A miracle that we are able to witness came from talking with everyone. We went to go visit this one guy and talked for him a little bit but he had to go to work so we started going back to the car. We heard someone chopping wood a few houses down and Sister Gaston went over and asked if we could help. They said that they were almost done and that they do not need help so then we asked if we could come over later that night and he said yes! So we went over and taught him the first lesson. His name is Nick and he is amazing! He already has so much faith in God but had never really been brought up to go to church but is willing to go when he knows more! It was amazing!

My testimony has also grown of praying for specific things. A few weeks ago Sister Gaston and I prayed that we could find a teenage boy to teach so that a young man in one of our wards can go teaching with us and get excited for his mission coming up. Anyways, later that day after we prayed we went to a house and the lady we visited was a less-active and has a teenage son and his friend were over! Then this past week we were able to teach one of them! I hope and pray that he prays and wants to learn more! Right now he is not really sure if there is even a God so I hope he tried praying!

Something cool that happened this week was that we were able to attend a Methodist service for Christmas! It was my first time going to another church! We got invited be this young man's mom. The young man just got baptized last year into our church. Anyways, she invited us and we were able to attend and it was a great experience!

This past week we read one of my favorite parts in the Book of Mormon! My family and I always like the part in Alma 44:10 when Moroni says, "Behold, we will end the conflict." I love that he is so willing to do God's will and also that he is so willing to give his enemies so many chances to surrender. It is my goal to be more and more like Moroni as my mission/life go on!

Love,
Sister Lacey

Jack Frost needs to Chill ;)

It's getting cold in Idaho!!


Hello everyone!!! 

So to explain my subject.... It's cold here :D 

That being said, I am very blessed with a warm car that we drive around in! 

My companion and I were able to witness so many miracles this week! My companion has taught me that they more you get to know someone the more you love them and man is she right! The more I am here in Salmon getting to know everyone, it is amazing the love I feel for them! There are so many people in this world who are hurting and they just need to talk to someone and feel Christ's love for them. I am so grateful for this time of year and how everyone wants to serve others.

I know that God hears and answers our prayers. So we have been working with this family since before I even came to Idaho and their baptism date was forDecember 16th. We had a lesson with them last week on Wednesday and they told us that they would have to move their baptism for the 30th because the father would have to work on weekends. (Someone had quit their job and he would have to cover until they hired someone else) We were all a bit bummed out because we all know how ready they are to be baptized, so Sister Gaston and I started to pray that they would be able to find someone to be hired so he does not have to work on weekends again. On Friday, we received an amazing text that they were able to get baptized on the 16th again!!! We were so excited and we later found out that they were able to hire someone else! Heavenly Father answers our prayers!

Ok so something funny that happens here when we ask people for referrals. So if people do not let us share a message with them we try to always ask them for someone else we might be able to teach and it goes pretty much like this. (And dad you can decide if you want to include this in the blog haha)

Missionary: "Do you know of anyone who may be needing a message about Jesus Christ in their life right now?"

Random Person: Umm well I know the person a few doors down goes to your church

Missionary: ..................... Ok thank you!

What missionary is thinking: They already found Jesus!!!!!!

Another amazing miracle we had this week was with one of our recent converts who is 12. So we went over to his house and he had invited two of his friends to come and listen to the lesson as well! He was so excited to answer the questions that we asked and show his friends all that he had been learning this past two months. He is an amazing young man and is going to make an amazing missionary someday!

So it was pretty cool because one night Sister Gaston was praying that we would be the answer to someones prayers and it happened! We also pray every day before we leave to have the Holy Ghost with us to lead us and guide us. Well we decided to go see one of our investigators that we had not seen in a little bit and just visited with her for like 10 mins. Anyways we came back a few days later and she told us that about 15 min before we came she was praying that God would help her in her life because she feels like she is in a rut and then we came to her door! It was amazing! I am glad that God trusts Sister Gaston and I to do his work!

I want to end with one of my favorite scriptures and we read it this week!

21 And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.

If any of you have questions about anything, ask God and have faith! Well I hope that all of you have an amazing week! I love you all so much! 

Love,
Sister Lacey

I am staying in Salmon!

Hello everyone! 

Ok first off.... CONGRATS to Jason and Brooke on their engagement!!!! I love you guys and I am so happy for you both!! I hope that you all had an amazing week! I had a great week but I feel like I cannot remember it for some reason!!

So first off we got transfer calls and I get to stay in Salmon!! So excited!! I am not going to miss a baptism of one of my favorite families!!

We had another fun run in with someone who does not like "organized religion"... And that is pretty tough when they just bag on everything you love for like 30 minutes... All you can do is just pray for them and tell them what you know to be true. 

This week was great being able to visit with member families. Sister Gaston and I pray and ask God which families in the wards we serve in know someone is ready to hear about the gospel. So we were able to meet with some families and talk with them. It was awesome! Being able to work with members is the best way to do missionary work!

Thursday night was amazing! Last week we went out with our Ward Mission leader and he was able to help us get in a door that we had been trying to get in for like 2 months (we could never get them when they were home). Anyways, we had a great first lesson with them then and then on Thursday we had another amazing lesson with them! In one week the wife had listen to all of 1 and 2 Nephi!!! That was an amazing miracle! Then her husband said that he is willing to try this out because he feels like there is something missing in his life. They are such a cool family! We had a church tour with them and they said that they would like to be baptized! They also came to church on Sunday. 

We are also teaching this young man who is in high school and his little sister got baptized earlier this year. He was sick this week which is not always good but since he was sick he started reading the Book of Mormon! I can really tell that he wants to learn and that he wants more in his life!

So this week we were able to have a lesson over the phone. It was so spiritual! So I can not remember if I have told you about him yet but I know Sister Gaston has. So we were able to talk to Brent a little this week over the phone and man he is so ready for the gospel but something is just holding him back! When we taught a quick restoration over the phone and after Sister Gaston recited the First Vision, Brent was just crying and said, "That's amazing". It was an amazing experience!

I was pretty bummed out yesterday because I woke up early in the morning and I had the stomach flu so I was not able to go to church and I really wanted to. Man being sick any time is bad but being sick as a missionary is the worst! I was grateful though because I was able to get a priesthood blessing and I know that it was from my Heavenly Father! The Priesthood is the best and I am so grateful for worthy men who hold the priesthood!

Well I hope you all have an amazing week! I love you all and make sure this month that you all #LightTheWorld!! I want to share this scripture with you guys. It is one that my mission president shared with us. 

Alma 19:6 Now, this was what Ammon desired, for he knew that king Lamoni was under the power of God; he knew that the dark veil of unbelief was being cast away from his mind, and the LIGHT which did LIGHT up his mind, which was the LIGHT of the glory of God, which was a marvelous LIGHT of his goodness—yea, this LIGHT had INFUSED such joy into his soul, the cloud of darkness having been dispelled, and that the LIGHT of everlasting life was LIT up in his soul, yea, he knew that this had overcome his natural frame, and he was carried away in God—

Missionary work is the best!! Be a light to others!!

Love,
Sister Lacey

Picking out their own live Christmas Tree!

Hello everyone!!

I hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving and that you all were able to eat a lot of food! So first off I did not explain my last weeks subject! It was, "The Book of Mormon is an extra dose of the Holy Ghost". On of the investigators that we are able to teach said that a few weeks ago and it is so true so I want to share that with you so it would make since!

My companion and I were able to go teaching with our Ward Mission Leaders this week and they are both amazing! It is so cool to see how their strengths are so different but they both teach with us so well! One of our Ward Mission Leaders is so knowledgeable about the Book of Mormon and it was perfect for who we were teaching that day. Our other Ward Mission Leader is able to talk to everyone and make them feel more comfortable! I hope that I can be more like them as a missionary!

We were teaching this family this week about the Plan of Salvation (God's plan for us) and we taught them that when we die we go to the spirit world. The mom then asked, "so everyone who died is there right now?" And we told her yes. And she said, "Oh, I want to die then! That sounds bad but That's where my family is at!" It was so funny but also awesome to see her love for her family. (Her mom and grandma are passed away)

This week we were able to participate in a parade! The family we are able to live with helped us out so much! We made a #LightTheWorld float and I think it was a success! We had the video playing on a projector with speakers, we had Mary and Joseph with baby Jesus and then we had others who were willing to just participate on the float as well! We were then able to pass out pass-along cards to people who were watching! It was awesome!

For those of you who do not know, #LightTheWorld is an amazing Christmas initiative to help us be more like Jesus Christ. It gives us suggestions on how we can serve someone everyday for 25 days leading up to Christmas! If you are interested go to mormon.org to get started! here

One really cool miracle we had this week was just from one simple text. When Sister Gaston and her old companion were here they got a call from a man who was getting ready to move to Salmon and wanted to know more about the church. Well Sister Gaston a few weeks ago had his name pop into her head so we gave him a call. He was pretty hesitant and said that he was not ready yet. Sister Gaston a few days later sent him the Moroni's promise and then on Thanksgiving day he texted us and said that he thinks he has received an answer! We hope to see him and his family this week!

I love this time of year so much! It is an amazing time to think about our Savior, Jesus Christ and reflect on what he would have us do while we are here on earth! I hope that we will all take the chance to do as the Savior would during this season #LightTheWorld! I love you all so much and hope that you all will have an amazing week!

Love,
Sister Lacey

"The Book of Mormon is a double dose of the Holy Ghost"

Hello!

This one might be a short one! It was an amazing week but I am just running out of time!

Missionary work is the best thing that we could be doing on this earth! It is how we show God that we love Him and love those around us! This holiday season, share the gospel and the blessings you have with someone you know!

I have been able to see and have a testimony of gathering families is how we see success in sharing the gospel! We were able to find and teach a family this week and they are just so great! The daughter was first interested in the gospel and went to church with a friend and now we are teaching her and her family!

Another cool miracle we say this week was finding a new investigator through a recent convert. We went over to her house to see when we can have a new member lesson and her older brother answered. Sister Gaston asked if he would ever want to hear about the gospel and he said yes! We taught him last night and he seems so prepared! We are excited for him! 

I am not sure if I have told you but are able to teach this 82 year old man. We found him a few weeks ago by following the spirit/ talking to everyone. We were driving and Sister Gaston sees people outside and she tells me to turn around so we can go talk to them, so that's what we did! He is the most open hearted elderly person I have met! He is willing to try out the gospel because of the example of his aunt who was baptized two years before she died and he respected her a lot!

I was so grateful for the opportunity I had to witness the dedication of the Meridian Temple! It was my first temple dedication. I realized that that was the first time I have heard an Apostle of the Lord pray because they do not usually pray in General Conference. I have such a strong testimony of temples! I think this was said in conference but I will paraphrase it, temples are a testimony that God loves all of His children and that His work is moving along! I love that because the Meridian temple just got dedicated and the Cedar City temple will be dedicated soon! God's work is hastening and I am so honored to be apart of it!

I love you all so much! Thank you for the love and support you give me! I hope that you all have a Happy Thanksgiving! 

Love,
Sister Lacey

A week of Miracles!

Checking to see if the cows are pregnant :-0


Potato day!















Hello everyone!

I hope everyone's week was great! Mine was fantastic!

So this week I was able to get a little "cultured"! On Saturday we had our annual Stake Potato day! A huge semi-truck full of potatoes comes to our church parking lot and we give out bags and boxes of potatoes for free! It was awesome and I am pretty sure it is only in Idaho ;) Another thing we were able to do is pregnant check cows... That's right pregnant check them! It was pretty gross but it was an awesome experience! (Please excuse my face in the picture haha you can't judge till you try it)

I was able to have my first ever Zone Conference in the mission field and it was fantastic! I loved every minute of it and my testimony grew so much! The only bad thing about Zone Conference is that my comp and I left our warm jackets in Rexburg.... that is 2 1/2 hours away from where we live.... Good thing though is that we are going to Idaho Falls this week for a Sisters Conference so we do not have to be too cold for too long.

On Wednesday we decided that we needed to fast for a stronger testimony of Joseph Smith and to be able to find those who need to learn about him. On that day we were trying to find a family (we do not know where they live) so we decided to pray and look at the map and go to a street that we felt inspired to go to. We went to that street and started to knock on houses that we felt like the spirit wanted us to knock on. After knocking on 3 houses we saw a man outside of his house so we decided to go talk to him. We learned that his brother is a convert to the church and that he does not believe that the Book of Mormon is necessary. We then started to teach and discuss with him about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith. It was amazing because both of us were able to testify boldly of Joseph Smith to him and feel the spirit so strong! My testimony of Joseph Smith grew so much during that conversation with him! Even though he was anti towards the church and he was not too open to it, he still let us give him a Book of Mormon. Another miracle we saw with him is that while we were talking with him we realized that his convert brother is in one of our wards, and that we were going over to his house that night for dinner with him and his family. We have never been able to have dinner with them before! It was all meant to be!

We were able to see many more mini miracles this week. I will just name a few. There is a couple that we were able to start teaching this week and they seem ready for the gospel. They were taught a year ago and from what we heard they are a lot different now than they were. The Lord is always working with people to help them along the path! Another one we saw is that Heavenly Father is always guiding our path. We were with a recent convert and we were walking down this road and someone pulls over because they know her and we actually have been trying to meet the lady that pulled over for the past few days! It was awesome!

I know that I am able to be apart of God's work on the earth. Just like it says in Moses 1:39 

39 For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.

I am so grateful for my time as a missionary. It is the hardest thing I have ever done but it is the most rewarding and the most promising thing I have ever done! I love you all! I hope you have a great week! Share the gospel with everyone around you! Let them know that there is a way to lasting joy and happiness through our Savior Jesus Christ!

Love,
Sister Lacey

Hey family!!


Penny



I hope everyone has had a great week! So I am not sure if I told everyone but I went on exchanges last week with another greenie and I am glad to report that we survived!! It was a little stressful and we missed our trainers but it went well!

This week we did a lot of door contacting because we need more people to teach! We have one really good progressing family and that is it. We are so grateful for that family but we know that there are plenty more out there to teach and we are just looking for them!

With door contacting we do run into people who do not like missionaries very much but that is ok! We need to give everyone the chance to hear the gospel and at least we gave them a chance!

My companion and I are also trying to follow the spirit a lot more when we are driving around town. Our District Leader taught us this week that if we are worthy of the Holy Ghost then our first thought is from Him! So we have been trying that this week! We will just be driving and the spirit will tell one of us to stop and we do and we found some potential investigators that way!

Morgan and I wanted to study this week more about the Savior and His life and I love it so much! I love this one scripture and I want to share it with you guys! 2 Nephi 26:12-13

12 And as I spake concerning the convincing of the Jews, that Jesus is the very Christ, it must needs be that the Gentiles be convinced also that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God;
13 And that he manifesteth himself unto all those who believe in him, by the power of the Holy Ghost; yea, unto every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, working mighty miracles, signs, and wonders, among the children of men according to their faith.
I am so grateful for the scriptures and all that they teach us! I know that they are the word of God and I know that Joseph Smith was called of God to translate the Book of Mormon!
I love you all so much! I hope you have a great week!
Love,
Sister Lacey

Sheep, Elk and a Bear?? Oh my!!




New blankets a member made for the missionaries :-) 

Wood stacking service project 


A Bear!



Hello Everyone!! 

I hope everyone has had a great week! My week has been one of the greatest weeks of my life! My companion and I are so blessed! The Lord is helping us every single day and I am so grateful for that!

Ok so first off, guess who is the new driver??? That's right!! This missionary!! Just in time for the snow.... Super scared for that but lets hope everything works out! I am not too sure why I am the new driver, my companion thinks its because I am taking over the area but we shall see I guess!

So on Tuesday we were able to go to this beautiful area named North Fork and we did a wood project for a 92 year old member who lives by himself. He is a really cool guy and lives right next to an old gold mine! It was a fun morning stacking wood and seeing sheep, elk and a baby bear! It was freezing though but it was still an awesome experience!

So the reason it has been one of the best weeks of my life is because all of the success the Lord has given us! I was able to see people that I love enter into the waters of baptism and start their new life as disciples of Jesus Christ! I love being a missionary so much and the joy I feel seeing people decide to follow Jesus Christ is like no other!

We were able to go to one of our wards Halloween Parties and it was so cool because there were a lot of none members there and we were able to talk and meet them! I was also able to participate in a pie eating contest and I lost! :( A member in the bishopric won and I told him after that I let him win! He said that he appreciates that haha!

Saturday was a busy but amazing day! That is the day we were able to have our baptisms and I was so happy that day! I could not stop smiling when I saw them being baptized! I was asked to give the talk on Baptism and I loved that but then later the Ward Mission leader asked me to come up again to bare my testimony and I was grateful for that because being able to bare my testimony after seeing someone be baptized is amazing! 

I love being a servant of the Lord! I am learning and growing so much! There are really hard times but I am grateful because if we did not go though hard times we would not fully enjoy the good in our life! I love you all so much! I hope you guys stay safe! And share the gospel with others!

Love,
Sister Lacey

One transfer done!!!





Hello everyone!!!

This has been an amazing week in Idaho! I am sorry I did not send a general email last week but last week was great! The members here are so wonderful!  We had a lesson in a member's home almost every single day! It is the best! It is amazing teaching in a member's home because you can feel the spirit a lot! 

We were able to meet and teach a lady from Romania and she was so cool! I love foreigners! I hope she will read the Book of Mormon and want to know more!

So I am not sure if I have mentioned one of our investigators very much but he is a young guy and he is so prepared! My companion and I did not really do anything but try and teach him the best we can! He is getting baptized on Saturday and I am so excited for him!

We also were able to give one of our investigating families a church tour and then they came to church and it was amazing! We are going over to their house tonight to teach them another lesson and I cannot wait!

On Thursday I was able to go to the temple and do a session and then see one of the members in our ward that we are close with get sealed! The temple is the best and I love the spiritual growth that comes from being worthy and entering the temple!!

On Friday we went on exchanges and I went with one of the Spanish speaking sisters so I was able to sit in a Spanish lesson and I know nothing... well I can follow where the lesson was going but that was about it! Exchanges were good and I learned a lot from Sister Grosdidier!

Sunday was awesome though! We were blessed because a lot of our investigators came to church! Sunday's are busy though but I would not have in any other way!

This week we had a hard moment. We got a referral for this family and we have been trying to see them and we were finally able to meet them! It was hard though because they are pretty anti-Mormons and were trying to tear down our beliefs. It was amazing though because I could feel the spirit so strong in me and I knew that my testimony was going to be ok and no matter what they said or did my testimony would stay unshakable! It was scary but the Lord is on our side so we do not need to fear! I hope that my companion and I were speaking with the spirit though and were able to touch their heart a little bit! 

I hope that all of you guys had an amazing week and that you are all striving to share the gospel with others! I have noticed more and more on my mission how much God guides our life! We may not have done anything for the people who were anti but my testimony has grown from that experience and I am grateful for that! I love you all so much! 

Love,
Sister Lacey

"Enjoy the heck out of it"

Salmon, Id Sisters!

Sister Gaston and Sister Lacey

Service with Sister Peterson

Snow already!!




Hello everyone!

It has been another great week here in Salmon, ID! 

First off, I have to tell you all... I tried Elk for the first time!! It is hunting season here in Idaho and I like it because I get Elk but then I do not like it because a lot of people are gone hunting and we want to teach them! That being said, Elk is awesome. I want to learn how to hunt so I can eat Elk the rest of my life!

Alright so I will explain my caption, "Enjoy the heck out of it". This week, Sister Gaston and I called President Nelson and while he was talking with us he told us to "Enjoy the heck out of it (our mission)" and that this is the time of our life! He is so right! Even when we have hard times, we always need to enjoy the heck out of it! We can always find the good in every situation! This week was good but we did do a lot of knocking and not a lot of finding which is frustrating as a missionary but as long as we keep working we will find people who are ready for the gospel.

One thing that I have learned on a mission and I think I have mentioned this before but there are a lot more people than we realized who are ready to learn more about Jesus Christ and want to follow His example and be baptized. 

Another thing that I have learned is to seek the seekers. There are a lot of people who will talk with us but they are not willing to seek to find their answers from God. Also, as missionaries we cannot force anyone to become a seeker. That being said, we can help people to know that they are a seeker. ;)

For example, this week we were trying to find people to teach and we saw a guy working on his car outside. Sister Gaston said that we should go talk to him. When we first started talking to him he was not interested at all and said that a church ruined his views on organized religion. Well when we he told us that we just would testify to him and we were finally able to teach him a quick version of the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and we committed him to reading the Book of Mormon and asking God if it is the word of God. We are going to be visiting him soon and hope he kept his commitment!

I also talked about a family a few weeks ago that is so prepared and they still are! We were able to visit with them a little this week and I loved it because the dad said, "my next goal is to be apart of the Mormon church". We have only taught him one lesson but he just knows that this is what he needs to do and I think that is amazing! He is definitely a seeker!

Well, I want to encourage all of you to be missionaries! The gospel of Jesus Christ is the only light in a darkening world! So many of God's children are wondering in darkness and they need light! Help them find the light they are looking for! 

I love you all so much! Thank you for the support that you give me! Be safe all of you!

Love,
Sister Lacey

I love Salmon, Idaho!!


Sacajawea Statue at Sacajawea Educational Center

New jacket!





























Hello Everyone!!

I hope all of you guys have had a great week! Mine was amazing as usual but it was extra special this week because of General Conference (which is when our Prophet and Apostles speak to us)!! 

I felt like conference went by so quick this weekended but I also got so much out of it! It is hard to choose a favorite but one that I liked a lot was the very last talk by Neil L. Anderson. I loved how he talked about all of the other talks and quoted the the Prophet Thomas S. Monson. It has been amazing telling people this week that we have a Prophet of God on the earth today that leads us and guides us! I have never really realized, until I came on my mission, of how amazing and what a blessing it is that we have a living Prophet of God! My testimony of prophets have grown so much and I am so glad that we are able to hear from them this weekend!

So this week we were able to see one of our investigators get baptized! My companion found him about a month ago and I have been able to teach him the past couple of weeks! He has come a long way and it is amazing to see the Atonement of Jesus Christ work in peoples lives! He has not been able to be confirmed yet because of conference but he will on Sunday!

So I told you about the prepared family that we met a few weeks ago, well we were not able to teach them this week because they were busy but we were able to drop by and talk with the dad for a little bit and he is so prepared! (He is the one with the New Jersey accent) So we asked him if he had been reading the Book of Mormon and he said yes. So we then asked him if he has prayed and asked if it is true and he said no. We asked him why not and he said, "I don't have to, I already know it is true." Sister Gaston and I could not help but smile the whole time after he said that! My face always hurts from smiling so much after I leave their house!

So on Thursday we were able to have some pretty fun lessons. We taught an almost 97 year old Jewish women and a minister in another Christian church here! They were both awesome lessons that I grew a lot from and I hope they did as well. It is amazing but scary getting questions from people who are from a different religion as you but I also love it because I can feel the Holy Ghost working through me! Just like the scriptures say in Doctrine and Covenants Section 100: 5-6

Therefore, verily I say unto you, lift up your voices unto this people; speak the thoughts that I shall put into your hearts, and you shall not be confounded before men;
For it shall be given you in the very hour, yea, in the very moment, what ye shall say.
I love being a missionary and I am so glad that I get to serve the people in Idaho! There are so many people here who need the gospel and we just need to find them! I know that there are people all around world that need the gospel, they just do not know where to find it! Do not be scared to share your beliefs and things you know to be true on social media. We have an investigator who decided to turn on General Conference and the first thing she heard is what she needed to hear and she thought, "Oh, I bet they always say that" but then later she saw that a member friend had shared the same quote and we told her that they do not always say the same things and that what they say is from God. 

I know this church is true and it is the only true church on the earth. I know that we have a prophet of God on the earth and that he is God's mouth piece on the earth! I love you all and hope you have a great week! I am just going to end with our mission scripture:

13 Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life.

Love,
Sister Lacey
