Hey everyone! Hope all is going well. We have been super busy trying to find people to baptize! We have put a huge emphasis on that so we are hoping to have at least 1 baptism this month!
I was able to reunite with my Green Bay Spanish squad at Zone Conference from the beginning of this year!!(I'm sure you can tell which picture was taken when) Hermana Wadley is serving in Milwaukee right now (1 zone away from me) I've gotten to serve around/with Elder Lacey (in my zone) for 7 out of the last 9 months and I have gotten to serve around Hermana Kono (in my zone) for 9 months and it was so awesome to get to be all together again:)
Congratulations to Braeden and Shay who had their baby girl Hadlee:) she is so so cute and she's so lucky to have such great parents:)
Also congrats to my cousin Kat who got married this last week as well! It's so crazy how old everyone is getting in the fam😂
I love you all!!! Keep on following God! Do what He says, it always turns out better:) I recently started a new Doctrine and Covenants study which I have loved so far and I read D&C Section 4 about the work of the Lord. I love how in verse 2 it says 'if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work,' talking about members, missionaries and everyone! And then I loved how it listed off certain qualities that as you are in the work of the Lord that qualify you for the work such as:
faith, hope, charity and love, an eye single to the glory of God, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness, godliness, charity, humility, and diligence.
As you think about your life think about if you have desires to serve God! If the answer is yes look at the attributes that qualify yourself to the work and pick a couple that you can work on to help with the work of the Lord! All of these are obtained only through Christ so always make sure to 'ask, and ... knock' and if you do that 'ye shall receive ... and it shall be opened unto you.' I know the church is true! I know this is the Lord's church and as you strive to do His work you will be happy.
DO GOOD, BE GOOD
Love,
Elder T. Ricks
