{Letter #52} "I want to go to church because I want to be baptized!"

February 16, 2026

Short and sweet is the goal of this email.

Transfers is coming up this Thursday! Ahhh. I would like to stay in Lompoc please and Thank you.

We teach this man named Edwin. He takes care of horses so we teach him on the ranch. Its the best

We brought cookies to our 11 year old friend we met this week! Her family are members but she hasn't been baptized yet and really wants to.

Walked with new member to get him to church!! -He came for the first time in months :)

It was a lovely week!
Spiritual thought

Mosiah 4:2
And they had viewed themselves in their own carnal state, even less than the dust of the earth. And they all cried aloud with one voice, saying: O have mercy, and apply the atoning blood of Christ that we may receive forgiveness of our sins, and our hearts may be purified; for we believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who created heaven and earth, and all things; who shall come down among the children of men.

I love this scripture! Our weakness and imperfections are real but we can apply the power of the atonement and we can be purified and find more joy in the process of becoming more like Jesus Christ:)

Email me I love hearing from y'all. 

HAVE THE BEST WEEK.

I love you! God loves you! 🫶🫵
