Week 22 Cache Valley Girls Take On Rijeka!

Woot Woot! I made it into my 2nd Transfer! (our transfers are 12 weeks long) My new companion is Sister Gunnell! 

She is from good ol' Cache Valley too and so here we are in Croatia together!

Yesterday we had 50 people at church! IT WAS AMAZING. I was playing prelude and people just kept walking in. 

I kept looking up, and more people would come in, then more, and then our little sacrament was full! Most of them 

were tourists, and we had 17 Croatians! 

We are teaching a really cool man named Marino! It has been so amazing to teach him and clarify the teaching of 

Jesus Christ. He really has been feeling the spirit during our lessons and has begun to pray. We asked him what if

 meant if this church was true and he replied "the world needs to change!" He recognizes the evil in the world and 

really recognizes the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! I'm excited for what is to come in his future! 

In life we have SO many choices. There are so many things that we choose, and so many things that other people 

choose that impact us. But in general- we are all seeking for happiness and peace. 

Who doesn't want to be happy?! We have lots of choices in life that will bring us happiness for a quick second. 

But don't we all want lasting happiness? So no matter what you choose- Choose the Savior Jesus Christ.

 If you choose Him, and make covenants with Him, you can be assured that everything will work out. 

We need to build our foundations on Jesus Christ because that is the only sure thing in life. 

So many unseen trials WILL hit you in the future, or are hitting you today! But with Jesus Christ as your foundation,

 and when you make covenants with Him- nothing can stop you from finding that joy. 

Not only finding that joy- but having that joy every single day. 

Helaman 5:12 (:

12 And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the ^arock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God,

 that ye must build your ^bfoundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, 

his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty ^cstorm shall beat upon you, 

it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, 

because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation,

 a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.  

So whatever you choose today, choose the Savior(:

Thanks for all the love and support! It means the world to me!
