Troy Family Tales: the hell-fighters

Hey yall!

Before you think I've gone off the deep end let me explain that title! On Sunday night we were passing the dairy queen and saw a bunch of people outside enjoying their ice cream. So naturally as missionaries we got out and talked go them. Turned out they were a bunch of bikers who love Jesus! They had just got out of a convention for bikers and a day full of helping people find Jesus. So awesome!! Their group name is " The Hell-Fighters".

This week we found like 10 new people to teach which is awesome but had to stop teaching a few people that we were helping towards baptism. It's so hard to do that especially when they are interested but if they don't keep commitments we don't have a choice. We'll be keeping in close contact with them though and I know they'll be ready to make that promise with God some day.

We also got to go out to the boonies which was such a nice reminder of the good old days out in Logan. Was saw llamas and various animals we spotted haha.

This week I also got word that one of the people I taught in my second area is getting endowed and sealed!! I got invited to go and it just so happened they are having it 2 days after I finish my mission. So I'm gonna stay!! I'm super excited for Dave and Sarah and am so honored to be invited and to have been a part of their story. They've changed mine so much!

Here's some verses I read this week from one of my favorite chapters in the book of Mormon:

"26 And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren, if ye have experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?

27 Have ye walked, keeping yourselves blameless before God? Could ye say, if ye were called to die at this time, within yourselves, that ye have been sufficiently humble? That your garments have been cleansed and made white through the blood of Christ, who will come to redeem his people from their sins?

28 Behold, are ye stripped of pride? I say unto you, if ye are not ye are not prepared to meet God. Behold ye must prepare quickly; for the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand, and such an one hath not eternal life."

Jesus loves you,
