Summer Time Edition of Preaching Fourth

 

Elder Jacob Mass

North Dakota Bismarck

HOME!!!

It’s great to have Jacob back home.  He is getting ready to head to BYU Idaho in Rexburg in a few weeks.  What a great missionary he was.  Welcome Home Jacob!

 

Sister Becky Bryant

Australia Melbourne

HOME!

Sister Bryant returned at the first of the month and  has put her house on the market and sold it and bought a home up on Lake Texoma.  Oh how we are going to miss her.  She’s been a great example to so many of us.  You will be missed Becky!

Elder Albert Marrero

Texas Dallas East Mission

Spanish Speaking

 

Since I transferred from Idaho, I've had no shortage of service and teaching opportunities! My assignments have taken me from Melissa to Rowlett and even to the Philippines! (Via Zoom teaching English to other missionaries!)

I serve the Plano 2nd ward on Sundays, teaching the youth Sunday School class and helping the Spanish missionaries teach English classes. I also join them for lessons with their friends.

I serve weekly at a clothing warehouse, Trusted World, and a food pantry called Life Message, both help the ]community incredibly with the service they render.

The weekends are my favorite as I serve at the Temple! I have seen so many miracles and have felt the Spirit so strong in helping others make sacred covenants that bind them to our Heavenly Father.

Nearing the end of my missionary service, I’ve reflected on my time both teaching and serving. I can say with certainty that my mission has been the best mission ever! Though it hasn’t been without difficulties, I have grown so much, especially as a disciple of Jesus Christ.

There is no replacement for the two years I’ve spent dedicated to the Lord and though I wish it didn’t have to end so soon, the Lord expects us to continue to live in faithful service to Him through all chapters of our life. And so as I enter into my next chapter, I say ¡Adelante, con fe! Elder Marrero

Sister Brianna Day

Taiwan Taipei Mission

Mandarin Chinese Speaking


Hello Hi! 

 

Hello everyone! Everything is SO GOOD on this little island and I can't believe I only have 2 weeks left. To say we've seen some miracles would be undercutting it. I think in my last transfer, I'm confident to say that I see miracles every. day. it's when we put faith to action, compromising our own will for God's, that miracles begin to abound. I've learned so much and I can't wait to come back and share them with you! lots of love from Taiwan !!!

 Plano 4th Ward
Elder Stroud and Elder Little

 

Our Elder Stroud, served with our Elder Guzman in Durant Oklahoma.  They found this golden couple to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ to and the baptism was earlier this month.  Elder Stroud got to travel to Durant for the baptism.  Brother Thiot and I got to drive them.  We loved getting to meet these new converts.

Our Elders are working hard and have several awesome friends taking the lessons.  We love getting to help to bring them to Jesus Christ
