{Letter #49} Marriage
Hi Everyone! I hope you all are doing great! I'm quite short on time this week, but here's a summary of what happened this week: Michael & Kira's wedding, exchanges, and the airplane home!
First off, Michael & Kira's wedding! It was amazing! They had it at their home, only had about 20 people there. The ceremony was performed by the bishop of our local congregation out here. It was a very happy time and all around pretty good experience. Michael & Kira said that they both felt the Spirit.

The exchanges this time around were really good! I was in my area with Elder Francom. We talked a lot about faith and humility and how these things will help us to see God's hand more in our life. We also talked about a quote from chapter 1 of Preach My Gospel regarding our own conversion. It teaches:
"Remain focused on your commitment to Christ... not the outward results. These results often are not evident immediately. At the same time, keep your expectations high regardless of the challenges you face. High expectations will increase your effectiveness, your desire, and your ability to follow the Spirit."
This is true! We will have a greater desire and ability to feel the Spirit when we remain focused on Christ and keep our expectations high, for ourselves, and for what Christ is able to do in our life!
Today we went to an old plane in the woods that someone turned into their home. It was really cool! apparently it made some appearance on a Netflix show. not sure what its called.

My spiritual thought from this week will be some of the words of Christ. He taught:
"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world" (John 16:33)
When we turn to Christ we will find joy even in our hardest challenges! I invite you all to find one way to turn to Him this week! It will bring you peace and joy!
Love you all! I hope all of you have a fantastic week! let me know if I can do anything for you!
Love,
Elder Goold
