Hello friends and family!
Not much to update y’all on this week. It has kinda just been the same thing. Lots of service and trying to reach out to as many people as we can with little to no success.
However! We taught a lesson to a guy we haven’t been able to get hold of in awhile and he came to church too, so that was huge!
We also had our first member dinner in a long time! I forgot how nice that was! It was with our relief society president and it was incredibly pleasant.
We also had two movie nights this week. The first with our District and we celebrated an Elder’s 6 month mark! He burned a tie, which I guess is a tradition along with the white shirt on your 1 year mark. The second movie night was with all the Sisters and it was also a party.
My companion and I were also invited to be a part of a zoom call with just President, the APs, the MSTLs and one other companionship in the mission. We were discussing the key indicators and I still don’t know why we were asked to be a part of it… but that’s okay. It was kinda fun.
My companion and I filmed a fun video this week that we will be posting on facebook within the next few days, so definitely check that out!
Something that has pressed on my mind this week is the beauty of faith. Faith leads to action and trust. Faith is the driving force behind everything I do. I am on a mission because I have faith that I am here for a reason and God needs me here. I am STILL on a mission because I have faith that what I teach is true. And I have found that as I continue to act in faith, it grows. My testimony grows as well and I become more confident and happy in the work that I am doing. I love being a missionary and I am grateful for this Gospel and I know it is true!
But anyway, I don’t have much too share in this email. Not too much has happened. As for my health, we are just taking it as it comes, watching it closely. Thank you to everyone who has reached out and shown me so much love and support. It means the world, honestly. Your prayers are much appreciated.
I love you all so much, thanks again for all you do!
