Thank you for all the birthday packages! Y'all are seriously the best. My fav part were the the cards from Eva, Anna, and Chloe. I almost cried. I miss y'all. Chloe, I will be delivering your testimony to Krista this week! Thank you so much! It will help her a lot. But heah I got some new slacks today and a watch because mine vanished. I'm looking fresh with these new XC4s (brown missionary shoes) and yeah!
Brrr its frigid over here in the East! Its all good though! Everything is bumpin over here in West Point! We have a baptism on the 18th. Her name is Krista and she just turned ten! Her parents have a goal of getting sealed as a family soon and we are excited for them. It's been cool to watch the family grow closer together as they've been having nightly family scripture study and prayer. Wow the gospel is so awesome. Laisha is doing very good too! She is the self referral from church headquarters. She just ordered herself a legit book of Mormon with her name embroidered on it and everything. Yeah she's solid. It's like every missionaries dream to have someone that just comes this prepared! We invited her to live the word of wisdom for a week and promised her that she'd like it so much she'd just want to live it for the rest of her life! Well, we got a message from her the next morning and she said (see attached for part of the convo). ISN'T THAT AWESOME!? We had an awesome institute party this week. Taryn was there (recent convert) and bore her testimony. She had everyone laughing and had such a powerful testimony. Talk about a proud missionary moment. We are helping her get to the temple soon! We had a miracle on fast Sunday! It had been a tough week to find new people to teach so elder Norton fasted for a new investigator (I completely forgot it was fast Sunday until testimonies began to be given at church... don't worry I fasted on Monday) and that night at 8:30 we were looking g up someone who had been previously taught and we met Nevaeh. ⬅️⬅️⬅️ Check out what her name is spelled backwards! Straight miracle from heaven. New Investigator! Fasting and prayer is one of the most effective things you can do to call upon the powers of heaven. I have a testimony of that. We had an amazing zone conference this week! Elder Norton and I gave a training and it went well! I invite you all to study chapter 4 in preach my gospel. It is a really really really good chapter. Anywho I love you all! Thanks for all your support and everything! Scripture of the week D&C 58:26-31. We need to be doing things differently. Like Moroni in Alma 49:8. Moroni prepared for war in as way that had never been done before. As we are agents for change we will be blessed! Elder Murray
