1 2 3 4 i declare a thumb war! w/ satan

I got to go to the Baton Rouge TEMPLE!!

I love the Temple. 
Don't take the temple for granted!! If you can go, GO. 

Joseph's roommate and best friend, Marlin, who just started investigating the church... had a seizure and passed away last Monday. 
Sister Gilmore said that Joseph called them SOBBING but halfway through the call calmed down and SAID, "but I know I can be baptized for him in the temple." 

This gospel brings peace and comfort. 
I need you to accept it. 

Let's think about Alma the younger for a second. 
Alma the younger....when he was the worst. 
He led MANY people from the church. MANY.
Just by "...giving a CHANCE for the enemy of God to exercise his power..." (Mosiah 27:9)

Before the people yielded to temptation SATAN HAD NO CHANCE of winning!!! NONE! 

Alma just cracked open the door for him & the people invited him in!! They straight up made Satan the guest of honor. 

HE HAS NO POWER OVER YOU IF YOU DON'T LET HIM IN!!!!!!!!!!! 
His influence is up to you!!
PLEASE don't even give him a chance to exercise his power over you. 
KICK HIM OUT. 

If you're not reading the Book of Mormon everyday.... START NOW
If you're not praying everyday...START NOW
If you're not going to church every week...START NOW
If you're not following the Prophet...START NOW

It's not hard! It's not confusing!
LIVE LIKE CHRIST LIVED!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!! 
Don't. give. satan. a. CHANCE.

the DOPEST (& saddest) scripture: Mosiah 17:20
"And now, when Abinadi had said these words, he fell, having suffered death by fire; yea, having been put to death because he WOULD NOT DENY the commandments of God, having sealed the truth of his words by his death." 

Abinadi was willing to seal the truth of his words by his DEATH.
Are we even willing to seal the truth of our words by the way we LIVE???

Met with Brother Allison, the stake high counselor over missionary work!!! Whenever he was tired he would sit down & play a video of himself talking instead. He's my hero. 

THEY HAVE A TORCHY'S IN BATON ROUGE!!!!!!!! 
I drank a gallon of queso & then took a shower in it. 
Still not enough. 
I need a Mary Poppins bag filled with torchy's queso. 

Sister Ervin accidentally brushed her teeth with hydrocortisone cream.................. 
She doesn't recommend it. 

We helped the youth with their girl's camp fundraiser and I might have gotten into a HEATED debate with a 12 year old about which Salvatore brother is better looking. #teamdamon4life

Currently teaching a lady who calls herself "Chainsaw Tracy!" she reminds me of the witch from Brave. 

Talked to this NOT very nice Buddhist lady while street contacting & Sister Ervin whispered under her breath as we walked away, "I didn't know Buddhists were jerks."
I cackled. 

We started teaching LAINEY!!! She's 17 & begged us for a copy of the Book of Mormon the second we introduced it! 
ETHAN!! wanna marry her? 
Kidding, he doesn't read these. 

LIFE IS GOOD AND SO IS THE GOSPEL! 
-Sister Spangler?!?!?
