Alma 29:9

"I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy." Alma 29:9

9 Months and IPADS!



 Oh Happy Day! He got an IPAD!
Hello family and friends! I love and miss you all so much. I really hope y'all know that. 
This week was definitely one for the books. WE GOT iPADS! I never thought I'd see the day when we get them. But it's finally here. It's weird to say "I own an iPad." But I do! It's been so nice to have! It's going to be the BEST thing in the world. It's so much easier to teach, we have so much LESS to carry around, daily contact with investigators has become easier than ever, and in a couple of weeks we'll have Facebook! I'm so excited for all that is happening. We are becoming disciples of Jesus Christ in the digital age. Happy day! On Monday, we went to the Chase's so we could have one last hoorah before Elder Macaspac got transferred and before Sister Chase went to Utah for the summer. It was one of the best nights of my mission. The Olsen family came over as well. We gave advice to the people leaving and shared scriptures and thoughts and good memories. Sister Chase had joked the whole transfer that Elder O'Neal and I would have a dance off... So we did! hahaha. I definitely lost because for one I can't dance and for two Elder O'Neal has millions of hidden talents that people don't know about (like dancing). It was a lot of fun, eventually everyone in the room was dancing and having a good time. It was a good ending to that transfer. I hope that Elder Macaspac is doing well in his new area and that Sister Chase and her two kids are having the time of their lives in Utah. We've been teaching Dolores the new member lessons and that is going well. Also, Ruby is doing INCREDIBLE as always. She has to be the MOST golden investigator I've ever had on my mission. She continues to progress and I am so excited for her baptism on the 4th of July. We joke all the time with her saying that there will be fireworks the day she gets baptized... cause there will be! LOL. Elder O'Neal is still the best. I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to become best friends with him. He's cooler than the flip-side of my pillow. IN TWO DAYS I HIT MY 9 MONTH MARK. I'm so glad I've made it this far. It's weird to say I haven't seen my family in 9 months. It's definitely gone by fast already. Elders joke with me and tell me that I need to take "pregnancy pictures" because I'm hitting my 9 month mark. hahaha. I hope everything is going well with all y'all. I love and miss you and remember to always come unto Christ. His arms are open wide.

-Elder Josh Needles
