November 28, 2016 🎄Christmas Season is upon us🎄

Hey Everbody,
So Thanksgiving is over and that means...Christmas is again upon us
with all its glorious lights and trees and food and family time! If
you haven't already, go check out the new Christmas initiative the LDS
church put out on Mormon.org its awesome! The theme to it is pretty
great, it's all about serving others around you and that's something I
love doing! Why think about yourself and eat potato chips when you
could go see someone, make their day, and maybe even give THEM your
potato chips?! Haha Christlike, sincere service is, in my opinion, one
of the few ways we can allow the love Christ has for others to enter
our hearts and help us love them even more than we do! Another opinion
I have is that the Bible doesn't capture all of Christ's love and
service, I think the disciples still experienced it all but they just
couldn't remember it all; I imagine Jesus as the kind of man who took
every opportunity to serve a fellow brother or sister, no matter how
small the service. It's not the size of the service that matters, but
the love that goes into it. The smallest opportunity to do something
for another should not be taken lightly, we never know how much it
will mean to them!

So we got transfer calls on Saturday and I'm staying in Lexington for
another transfer with Elder Conlin! We're pumped to see what's in
store for us in the next 6 weeks, time will only tell the many
adventures of Conlin&Crow! We had an awesome Thanksgiving, and for the
first time I can remember, I didn't have turkey! Instead, we had steak
and Alaskan crab! I let everyone else go to the crab and I pounded the
steak haha it was awesome! We also tried some cabbage rolls since a
lot of the people in the family we are with were Korean, all in all it
was a good time!

Go find someone to help out, no matter how small and insignificant it
seems, I promise it'll make a difference,
Elder Crow

November 7, 2016 Missionario Worko

Hello everybody,

First off I'd like to send a shout out to my bro Elder Kyle Johnson,
he's finishing up his 2-year service to the Lord in Australia this
week. Love ya Elder Johnson, God Bless you for your sacrifice and
service!

In case you were wondering, no I am not a Spanish-speaking missionary,
I'm just that good 😎 Haha I'm just kidding, I make Spanish jokes all
the time because I'm surrounded by Spanish-speakers! So it has been
getting colder and colder each day, it's officially sweater weather
and everyone is asking for cold weather, so I rebuke them and remind
them that warm weather is happy weather! Also, winter is when it gets
harder to talk to people because are smart and they stay inside, but
we don't...sad face. Good things can always come to the ones who keep
trying though, attitude makes a bigger difference than most people
realize. If us missionaries actually let everything get to us, we
wouldn't last a week in the mission field.

I read one of the best quotes I've ever heard about missionary work
from President Brigham Young, “I wanted to thunder, and roar out the
gospel to the nations. It burned in my bones like fire pent up. …
Nothing would satisfy me but to cry abroad in the world what the Lord
is doing in the latter days”. It's amazing, as a missionary you work
to help other people feel the love of Christ and feel the Atonement
change them, but as you help others find those changes in their lives
you can't help but develop them yourself. Now some of you may think
that my goofiness has gone away because of me being a missionary, to
that I say: no. I cannot begin to list off the ways I have been
blessed by serving the Lord and seeing those blessings come into the
lives of others, there's nothing else I'd rather be doing.

God Bless and make this week supercalifragilisticespialidocious (even
though the sound of it is simply quite atrocious),

Elder Crow
