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."
