GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!!!!!
This week was absolutely, without a doubt FANTASTIC!!!!!
First of all, I had to say Goodbye to Elder Ison. That
was actually pretty hard. Thankfully I got to at least spend the day waiting
with my new companion with the Byron Elders so that was at least nice:). Anyways
Wednesday was the day that it happened. The day that I got ELDER BURCH!!! I'll
attach a photo that I just took :)
Elder Burch is pretty awesome, first of all we are both
complete yuppies, second of all we are both total nerds. Unfortunately he
doesn't really like Doctor Who, his words were, and I quote "Well, I can
look past imperfections". Jokingly of course :) Also he is from MESA
ARIZONA! Literally our houses are only 20 min apart. It is so cool! Someone
else who knows the pain of summers but is too thick headed to ever leave :).
But ya, This week has been amazing! While we
unfortunately only had 2 investigators at church today, one that we will be
dropping. But we found several new ones and committed quite a few people to
come this week! Seriously training a new missionary is the most fantastic thing
in the entire Universe! I never thought that I would enjoy, well I hoped I did,
but I was also terrified. Seriously though, he is just training me, not the
other way around. I love this guy so much. But in all seriousness, I am, so
thankful for the opportunity to train. I am learning so much everyday, and I
feel the spirit so much more. Maybe
it's because I'm trying super hard to follow all of the rules with exactness
and striving to love my companion, so it's really awesome :) :) :) :) :). I am, honestly so thankful for the opportunity that I have to train.
But ya, that has been about our week. We have done a ton
of finding lately, we are seriously trying to improve our teaching pool. Also
We are really trying to do way more member finding. We are trying to implement
the 21 days program with all of the members here., we followed up with one
member yesterday and they loved it so much they wanted to do it again and asked
for another sheet!
Christopher is in orchestra now!?!?!? But that's freakin 5th grade! I thought he was in
4th! Man, that is just crazy. You know that is the thing that I keep forgetting
about being on a mission. Life just goes on.
But
ya, I still want to live in Gilbert. My new companion helped me to realize
that I honestly do like Gilbert more than Greybull thankfully. Don't get me
wrong, it's great here, but I don't want to live in snow again. I've had to
explain a few things to him that make me stop and go, oh ya, this place turns
into a complete winter wasteland where nothing grows and nothing should ever
live here bye.
Quick spiritual thought: I know that Families truly are
important to Gods plan for us. Yesterday we got to have the opportunity to
testify to an excommunicated member here that they truly are and it was one of
the most spiritual lessons that I have ever been in! I am so thankful for the
gospel and I love you all!
Never give up, Never Surrender!
