Life is all over the place right now. But that’s what life is. And to trap it in a box the size of a blog post would be wrong.
So here are all the little things God has taught me this week (along with some goofy moments with Lily;)

Sharing the Gospel with LDS (Mormons)
Here’s what I learned sharing the real gospel with Mormons and staying in Salt Lake City for a week.

Seeing God in a Monday
I challenge you: this Monday, look for God. Look for his blessings in the mundane. Jeremiah 29:13 says, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Seek for God even when it is difficult. And I promise, God will be there, even on Mondays.
