I
emailed Jake. Tried to tell him
about prayer and bore my testimony to him. We reminisced on all the fun
memories we had. We are having a lesson with Lauren on this upcoming Friday! I'm so excited to teach him. This week I have been praying a ton
about Lauren and I have received some very powerful revelation
concerning how we are going to teach it and I know the Lord is going to
help us. We have yet to meet with the punk rock dude he has been trying
to spend time with his son because he has been going to court cases with
his son and trying to fight over custody with his wife. We tell him to
remain faithful and keep reading the scriptures. I know the Lord will
make it all work out. We went to the temple this week and I got this
awesome tie clip with the temple on it. I took an awesome pic of the
temple. I saw my daddy down there( my first trainer) had a good chat and
saw some elders that left last transfer. I found out an elder from my
MTC group went home early because his parents divorced and he had to go
to counseling because it was so hard for him. I feel so bad for him. He
was a good missionary.
1.) Yes the coat is
awesome and very warm I tried it on! thank you mom I know it costs a lot
of money and I feel bad about that sometimes.
2.) I need a beanie if that's okay. One without writing on it. preferably navy blue.
3.) Halloween was fun we carved pumpkins and made toilet paper dresses for the zone leaders.
4.) we are singing this week in sacrament meeting for sure now! I'm excited!
5.)
Transfers are next Wednesday and President told me in interviews that I'm leaving haha. I might train an elder next transfer too oh boy!!
I
got a cool story today. This week as a district we made it a goal to
hand out 5 book of Mormons. The last two weeks have been so hard because
we have done a ton of finding/knocking doors and we have had no
success. In the last two weeks we have put together 40 hours of finding!
I have been very frustrated and I know it has been a test for me. I
started doubting the Lord which I don't know why because he has been
doing so much in this area. Every night getting home we have been so
worn out and frustrated from walking door to door all day and in the
last week only handing out one book of Mormon all week. Yesterday was
the last day to get 5 book of Mormons handed out and I said there is no way that's
happening because we only have 1 hour of tracting/finding today and the
rest of our day is planned for. But my companion said to me we will go
out with 100% faith and we will talk to everyone we see. By the end of
the night we handed out 4 Book of Mormons which was a record for me and
had 5 lessons in that day. It was honestly the biggest miracle I have had
on my mission. I couldn't believe it especially since we handed out the
last BOM in the last 30 minutes before we had to go back to our house.
I
love you so much Mom I miss you! Remember the story in the bible called
David and Goliath. no body wanted to fight him because of how powerful
he was as well as the rest of the army. But he decided to face him and
with the Lords help he was able to defeat him. Mom the challenge this
week is to help someone facing a Goliath in their life and help them
see the Lords hand in their life! I love you and dad so much!! --
