Week 57: February 6


Hey, this week flew by don't understand where it went but it went haha, this last Monday was good we had pday played ball it was good to have a longer pday since it started at 8am to go shopping instead of 10, good day we had dinner at the bishops house we had pizza and salad we usually go out to eat but it was good to be in their home. We had FHE after that was fun we played some funny games with the YSA it was good we got some less actives to come.

Tuesday was good I really like the new schedule a lot cause we now have way more flexibility we get to choose when we do everything, we now work out from 6:30 to 7:30 and then personal study starts and 8:30 until 9:30 and then comp study after that and daily planning cause it was changed to the mornings now, it's really awesome, Tuesday was good our we had district meeting it was pretty good we talked about helping investigators and to have them want us to come back haha, cause that's important, after that we had a good meeting with a less active we went on a good walk with him, it was super warm that day which is awesome ! It's getting warmer! But we finally got him a study journal to help him with writing down the promptings he gets. After we went finding and that is always fun, kinda of annoyed with the past missionaries cause their lack of writing things down with people they have come into contact with, cause we got some grumpy people not wanting to be bothered but oh well.

Wednesday was good we went to the opportunity house and we got some youth bows for free so we are going to put tennis balls on the end of them and shoot each other with them!! It sounds super fun right?? After we went finding and had little success but it's fun haha. Some people are super funny, we contacted a couple referrals and one guys was doing a project at school on our religion so that was interesting. But yeah we had a good time that night,  

Thursday we had interviews with president which was a huge surprise cause we had no idea we had them but it was really good to talk to him and to get some advice from him. After we went finding again trying to track down some less actives and potentials had some funny experiences with us walking up to the house and the garage door opens and it was upper awkward cause we are just standing here waiting for them as the door comes open and to see their surprised faces it pretty funny 😂 a
So when your contacting people on the street and they are walking on the same side of the sidewalk as you and then they just run over to the other side of the street to avoid you, it's pretty funny, then adventures of contacting people that are scared of you.

Friday was good we had weekly planning, we did some finding that night.

Saturday we did some service moving an investigator to put of there storage unit into there new house so that took a long time haha. They fed us free pizza after!! Pizza ! Da best ! Went finding after so that was cool.

Sunday was good church all day we fasted for Elder Everett. We had break the fast at 5 with the YSA had a good dinner with them, that was my week. Here is something that I loved from the lesson that we had today, I invite you guys to read the talk it's amazing.  Hope everything is going well love you guys! 

From the Life of Gordon B. Hinckley (chapter 3. ) 
Cultivating an Attitude of Happiness and a Spirit of Optimism

" We have every reason to be optimistic in this world. Tragedy is around, yes. Problems everywhere, yes. But … you can’t, you don’t, build out of pessimism or cynicism. You look with optimism, work with faith, and things happen.
Do not despair. Do not give up. Look for the sunlight through the clouds. Opportunities will eventually open to you. Do not let the prophets of gloom endanger your possibilities.
Cultivate an attitude of happiness. Cultivate a spirit of optimism. Walk with faith, rejoicing in the beauties of nature, in the goodness of those you love, in the testimony which you carry in your heart concerning things divine.
The Lord’s plan is a plan of happiness. The way will be lighter, the worries will be fewer, the confrontations will be less difficult if we cultivate a spirit of happiness."
