August in Texas--Keep your heart and mind on Christ

Hey Y'all

So this week was pretty good, Elder Randall was a little sick so we spent a little bit longer inside than I would have liked but ya gotta slow down sometimes. helped me catch up on drawing. 

don't have much time this week so I'll just leave you with this,

Alma 48:
11 And Moroni was a strong and a mighty man; he was a man of a perfect understanding; yea, a man that did not delight in bloodshed; a man whose soul did joy in the liberty and the freedom of his country, and his brethren from bondage and slavery;

 12 Yea, a man whose heart did swell with thanksgiving to his God, for the many privileges and blessings which he bestowed upon his people; a man who did labor exceedingly for the welfare and safety of his people.

 13 Yea, and he was a man who was firm in the faith of Christ, and he had sworn with an oath to defend his people, his rights, and his country, and his religion, even to the loss of his blood.

I do know that if we were like Moroni the very powers of hell would be shaken forever, if we all do our best in everything, strive to overcome, and serve our fellow men we will get rid of the evils in our society, if we just have our hearts on Christ, and put in the effort. We need the love and light the Savior brings though his loving atonement.

I was able to meet up with someone fairly familiar...Mr. Redd (Tyhee elementary school counselor)
visiting his daughter here in Portland. 

Hope y'all have a great week, keep your heart and mind on Christ, and keep an eye out for another email next week!
