LISTO Jan 28, 2019

guys how are ya??? 

hope youre all doing well! i love hearing from you all and all the support you give me. its the bestest. 

This week was a good one!! not gonna lie, not every week is a good week. but i can say that good things happen every week, miracles even. every week so its been a good thing to keep looking for those!!

missionary work is incredible. honestly its quite somethimg. i cant really describe it, and to be honest without doing it you couldnt really know, you literally feel every emotion... almost every day haha. and its the best thing ever. 

we had a baptism this week and it was really special!! the hermana that got baptized is awesome. we found her and her mom one day and contacted them. and boom one month later she got baptized. it stood as a testimony to me that there are always people ready for this message. sometimes we think ( as missionaries) awe this person is so close!! just not quite there. but what ive found is what it says in doctrine and covanants. that 1st the field is white and ready to harvest, (not yellow and almost ready). and 2nd that someday everyones gonna hear this message when the savior comes again. the lord promised us those 2 things, and I, Elder Phoenix Allred. Know without a shadow of doubt that the lord fulfills his promises. 

to finish up this email, i really hope you are all doing well. i love hearing what youre up to and how things are. please, if theres anything i can do for you, super duper far away, let me know. because i love and care about every single one of you. 

im gonna put a quote form an email i got this week from a good old pal from brighton whos also serving in peru (just a different part) but i really liked it so here ya go haha 

"You are no alone, you are not going through something that he cannot fix. He is your friend, your comforter, your Shepard. When we ernestly seek the companionship our or father in heaven and try to seek those in need, you will be numbered upon his sheep. This is a promise from our Heavenly Father. One of my favorite pictures of all time is the Savior with a lamb on his back. It shows that he loves each and every one of us, even little lambs haha. Yeah we may be going through putbacks, but they are just for you to get stronger."

love you guys, have a great week
