Thank You For Your Service!

Our Dearest Elder Joshua Michael Sandberg,   On behalf of the Washington Spokane Mission, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we thank you for your consecrated service to our Father in Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ. You have been a faithful witness of Jesus Christ.  You have not only spread the “glad tidings” of the Savior and His Atonement, but you have also brightened the lives and lightened the load of many of God's children through your Christ-like service. Your wonderful spirit has blessed many members and Friends of the Church. You have also blessed your family in miraculous ways because of your willingness to serve the Lord. You have left your mark and a legacy on this mission. We are confident that as you continue to give lifelong service to the Lord you will be a wonderful asset in the Lord's vineyard wherever you serve. We can promise you that if you continue those righteous habits you've learned, the Lord will bless you throughout your life. A...

Hey everyone! Hope your having a solid day! Here is some info for your head!  (DESIRE) - Fire!!!!! Desire got baptized this past week! It was literally so awesome! The whole ward pulled up to support her! I am amazing but the love and support of the chruch! I think for me it's easy to see all the negative things that happen in the Church but it's been fun ro realize how much good there is! Desire has been pointing out the belssings she has removed from going to Chruch and learning about the Gospel and that's been awesome!  (LOSING WEIGHT..... NOT)  - Thought I've been losing like a tone of pounds! When from 223 to like 211 in a couple days. Turns out the scale is broken! So I actually have no idea hoe much I weigh!

I walked in there and it smelled like weed, that...

  Hey everyone! I hope you have had an amazing week! I am constantly thinking and praying for you! This week I just wanted to share an experience I have been having with my friends and my Savior!  (My Friend and My Savior)    This week me and Elder Montgomery got a call from one of our ward members. My sweet friend had just attempted to end her life! We got there 5 mins after it happened to comfort the family. As we were waiting to hear how she was doing my comp stayed upstairs to be with the fam and I went down to clean the bathroom where she attempted to end her life. I'll spare the details but from what I saw and cleaned I honestly didn't know if she would make it..... after 3 hours of being there, we had to head home.    After a long night we got word that she was doing alright! President LeBaron let me and Elder Williams get back together for a day so we could go visit her. It was sad she really wanted there.    After a couple days we got a c...
