Butte is amazing!! I love all the members here. We had an amazing Zone Training! The Spirit was so strong. I love all the missionaries in my new Zone. Being a Zone Leader is a great opportunity to serve the missionaries. The moment I saw them, my heart was overwhelmed with love for them.
Haha we ran into another demon, well I guess it came to us at like 10:25 pm knocking on our door, so yeah.... haha.
I have the opportunity to go to MLC (Mission Leadership Council) now which was a really neat experience. We decided the new schedule for the mission and etc.
If any are willing, I'm in desperate need of stamps. Thank you for your love and support. My new address is 1704 Lowell Ave Butte, MT 59701

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel of change. The very purpose of life is to " prepare to meet God" (1) We are to prepare for eternal life and to inherit the Kingdom of God. We need not be perfect in this life, all that is required of us is to be clean. And by becoming clean we are changed. It's not easy, but it is so worth it.
"Jesus suffered willingly so that we might all have the opportunity to be washed clean- through having faith in Him, repenting of our sins, being baptized by proper priesthood authority, reviving the purifying gift of the Holy Ghost by confirmation, and accepting all other essential ordinances (sacrament)." (2)
As mortal men and women, we cant change ourselves to become more than who we are. We could not create ourselves, and now we cannot save ourselves. We need the help of God. We need Jesus Christ, we must believe in Him and rely on Him.
The goodness of the Gospel is that we have a chance to change and improve! We aren't lost and we are not forgotten. No matter who we used to be or what we have done, if we will rely on the Atonement of Christ, through prayer, He will change us. He wants to change us!
I invite all to repent and be believing. Humble yourselves as little children. I can promise that you will see a bright new world before you. You will be proud of who you are. I can testify that this is true! That God himself died for us, that if we would repent, we could become like Him. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
