Trevor Woods Returns from Idaho Mission

   Trevor Woods has returned from a two-year mission in the Idaho Falls, Idaho mission.  He reported with an excellent talk in Sacrament Meeting March 24. Trevor is the son of Tammy Woods and she was so excited to welcome him home. (Left)
   Trevor said he had learned many things on his mission that will help him in life.  Here are a few:
1.  How to lead and how to follow
2.  How to communicate with people from all levels of life
3. How to set goals and achieve them
4.  How to gain and strengthen a testimony of Jesus Christ and his church.
     All missionaries have challenges that help them grow.  Trevor shared some of his.
1.  Being with someone 24 hours a day, seven days a week was a challenge for me at first.

2.  I didn't know the gospel very well when I was first out.  I wish I would have studied more.
3.  Giving training at meetings and giving talks.
    4.  Talking to random people about the gospel was terrifying.

     Trevor faithfully wrote home each week to his family and friends.  Here is a quote from one of his recent letters.  "I have loved every moment of the mission.  There have been difficult moments but nothing even close to overshadow the many wonderful experiences I've had.  I love this gospel!  It is truly a gospel of repentance.  Our mission culture is that we teach repentance and baptize converts.  Baptism is the gate by which we enter to the covenants we have to make with our Heavenly Father to be saved.  Faith and repentance is what we need to do to prepare ourselves to make and keep those covenants.  I'm grateful for the atonement of Jesus Christ."
