Elder Conner Timothy Felix

Conner opened his mission call late November to learn he would be sent to spread the gospel in Lansing Michigan! Missionary work is the hardest yet most rewarding service any man can do! Whether you're called to serve with a companion or called to serve in your classroom or neighborhood it is always important to be an example of Christ! I'm so proud of Conner that he decided to devote not only 2 years of his life serving The Lord away from home but choosing the route that will keep his testimony burning through the journey that will lead him to the celestial kingdom! He is such an example to me and all of my siblings and especially my son Greyson! I'm so blessed to have him as an example to Grey! Missionaries are called of God as worthy elders who can take upon his name and act as an advocate for The Lord! My heart is filled with joy knowing all the blessings and strengths Conner will receive devoting the next 2 years working for The Lord! As we said goodbye to him today I just felt his confidence as he shook my fathers hand and hugged my mom tightly! He knew he was in the right place and doing the right thing! Conner has such a pure heart and the people of Michigan will truly benefit from the teachings of Elder Felix and his companion! Heavenly Father sent him to that specific mission to learn and grow and have the time of his life! So many lives will be touched by the words of Christ and how pleased is Heavenly Father that his work is being done by earnest young adults! This teaches me to be a missionary in my neighborhood and to my friends! The best way to spread the gospel is to be a good example! "Declaring our testimony of the gospel is good, but being a living exampleof the restored gospel is better." -President Uchtdorf
