Week 39 - (4-20-15) - Traveling The Loneliest Road in America

Dear world,

Hello!

Wow!  I just said hello to the whole world.. think about that! :D. no I'm just kidding :]  This week we went to Austin.  I took a lot of pictures but I left my camera in the car for most of the trip.  Hopefully you will see some of the cool pictures i got to take :]. There's a shoe tree there along the way!  We also found out that Austin highway is "The loneliest road in America" DANG :D!  That's cool! hahaha We just drove that!!   On the way home from Austin we went to the shoe tree and had some fun there for a little bit.  We traveled there and drove back for dinner at the Glakins! They are the amazing family that you have been seeing, in most of my pictures on the blog. They are so cool!

This week we haven't actually had much success :\  Elder Quist and I have been slacking a little bit this last week but we are going to try harder.  Man there is so much to say but i am about out of time to type all of this up, Have to get to bed!

spiritual scripture of the week

Genesis 3:10

Week 38 - (4/12/15) - Words Can Not Describe How Happy I Am Right Now

Hello Everyone!

Words can not describe how happy I am right now.  The baptism of Blair and Keira has changed me. Literally!  I still feel the glow from Blair and Keira as I baptized Keira.  Blair shared a strong testimony to all of her friends and family.  She invited half of Fallon to her baptism!  It was so great.  I don't want to put to much down.  I will just say this - I am grateful God has trusted me enough with his beautiful daughters Blair and Keira.  They have taught me so much as a missionary.  I come out of each lesson glowing with joy because of them.  They will change a lot of people :)  I love them so much and I can't ever thank them enough for strengthening my testimony of my Savoir Jesus Christ.  I know He lives.  Because of Him I will one day live again.  I will be able to live with my Father in Heaven.  Because of Him, I was able to baptize Keira and share that gift He has given me.  Tears come to my eyes because of the love I've felt in the last week.  I love my Savoir.  I'm so grateful for the trust he has given me to teach Blair and Keira.  I wish I could be more like them.  They are Spiritual Giants.

I guess I will close this up -  Don't ever forget this - I don't care who you are or what you believe in.  I know that there is a Living God out there who loves you very much.  He wants the best for you.  He loves you so much.  If you want to feel His love please talk to the missionaries  in your area.  They can teach you so much.  They can teach you all about our Savoir and how He suffered for our sins because He loves us so much!!  HE LOVES YOU!!!  PLEASE!!  I want you to have this!!  I feel like it's not fair that most of you out there don't have or understand this great gift.  I want you to have it because I KNOW God loves you and I love you too.

I'm on a spiritual high right now and i don't want to leave haha.  I said i would stop writing quite a while ago haha.. well. 

cya later! :]

oh btw.. I'm staying this transfer with Elder Quist :D Nothing in my district is changing :D

Week 37 - (4/6/15) - I Love General Conference!

Hello everyone!!

It's official, this week is the baptism of Blair & Keira.  This Saturday at 5:00!! Man that’s so cool :] I look forward to it! They are inviting all of their friends! :D. I'm so grateful that we are the missionaries to help them get to baptism :]!!

I will be baptizing Keira! I think I've told all of you a lot about them in the last post so I won't tell the same story :]

So this week was General Conference! So what is that? General Conference is when the Prophet and the Apostles, here on earth, gather in this big meeting called General Conference. They share messages that they have felt inspired to share. 

haha yes.  If you caught that last part up there, We do believe there is a Prophet on the earth today. His name is Thomas S. Monson. I believe he talks to God just as the Prophets did in the Bible. Some people think that is an insane thing to claim but if you ask me - If God talked to prophets before, then why would he stop? I could go on forever but if you have any more questions ask me in an email (noah.mcsheehy@myldsmail.net) or ask someone else online! @ Mormon.org OR!  Have a missionary like me come over and say hello! Just go to mormon.org and find the place where it says - send the missionaries! :D

So I really enjoyed the talks given at General conference! I really do enjoy all of them so much. I love hearing the prophet tell his stories! He is such a nut! xD The older he gets the more hilarious he is! xD

If someone were to ask what my favorite talk was, I probably wouldn't be able to answer that question :\ just because all of the talks were so awesome!

So if you want to check out general conference you can watch it all yourself on LDS.org.

Have A Great Week!

Week 36 - (3/30/15) - Man I Love Missionary Work

March 30, 2015

Hello everyone!!                                      

So this past week we ran the "Fun Run" According to Elder Monsen those two words shouldn't be used in a sentence without the word "not" in there somewhere.  hahaha.

So I ran 3 miles at the end of the Fit for his Kingdom Challenge.   I didn't realize that I haven't run 3 miles without stopping in a long time. I'm in a lot of pain ;D UGH. oh well haha.. I guess it's good for me.. :]

This week we are focusing on something called the April showers. We are asking the members that sign up on the dinner calendar to fast that day for missionary work!

Our Mission President is having us focus on the miracles this week! Well little did we know we had one last week!  If you read last week’s entry you will learn about the Zombie Invasion. Well that night we had a lesson with one of our investigators that is getting baptized soon!! woohoo! :D

Well what we didn't know about that experience was, all of the houses around us, their power was out. The members we were with shouldn't have had power. She said she is usually the first one without power. We should have had the lesson in the dark. But we didn't!  Maybe we would have had to post pone the lesson, and she wouldn't be getting baptized (this was the lesson where Keira and her agreed to baptism!) hmm :] Idk I just think that it was really cool.  Small miracle but it's something if you ask me! 

We also have 3 other 12-14 year old girls that want to get baptized at the end of April. Man! Finally!  We have been teaching them for a long time now.

Man that’s 5 people that will make one of the best choices ever next month. I love that! :D

What a spiritual week! We’ve topped the amount of lessons I have taught here in Fallon this week! We had 16 lessons this last week.  Still not sister missionary status but it's getting there. I think our teaching pool is golden!

So we did some final touching ups this last Sunday and Blair and her daughter are officially getting baptized!! It’s going to be on April 11th, at 5:00! We wrote everything out and it's going to be great! I could feel the spirit as we taught those two the final lesson so they know what they are jumping into and they are so ready! 

Kiera, the daughter, knows so much about God and everything He has to offer! (She’s in love with the Salt Lake Temple) Man I love kids. They have such sensitive spirits.. :] For instance, Kiera woke up the next morning after a lesson that we taught and told Blair (her mom)  “Mom.. I wish we could go to church every day.”  Love that girl haha. She's going to be the next President of the United States she says! Haha I'd vote for her :].

Now get this, Blair has asked one of her friends from another ward to come in and Baptize her. Kiera has asked if I would baptize her :D!! Man what an honor!! ;] I'm so excited!! I'm glad that I can give her one of the best gifts here on this earth. She's such a bright kid!

So hopefully! We will have 5 baptisms this month. :D WOOHOO!! That is awesome!!! Man I love missionary work. :D  I love seeing people accept The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
