Unfortunately, because of all the things we did today, i dont have a lot of time to email. At all. But i will talk about my week a little bit.
Im glad to know everything is till going well at home, and that your lupus isnt too serious. When you mentioned that you had it, i got scared for a second, because i do know what that is, but im glad to hear that its not too serious right now. But still. It stinks that you have it, but at least the doctors know what it is so they can help you more. I pray for you and hope you are doing okay with everything. I miss you a lot.
Something i studied this week in my scriptures was the importance of including Heavenly Father when we set goals. I realized this when i learned that through prayer we align our will with our Heavenly Fathers. That is why it is so important to prayerfully set goals because then our goals will be in line with the will of our Heavenly Father, and then He will be able to help us accomplish them. Something amazing happens when we set goals that are in line with our Heavenly Fathers goals. So that was something that i thought was cool that i learned this week.
Also, saturday night, we went to visit this family, called the Coseo family. In the past we had struggled to get appointments with them, and then we showed up right at the perfect time on saturday night, which was awesome. Then they invited us in, sat all their kids down, and listened to the message of the restoration intently! It was so awesome! So now we are teaching a family of 6, which is super cool. They seemed excited about moving forward, and they said they would come to church. Unfortunately they didnt make it, but i know they can next week! We are so excited for them.
Also this week we were able to help more people come to churchm which was awesome. In recent weeks we've kinda been struggling with that, but it was super cool to be able to have 4 people at church on Sunday. Hopefully next week we have that family of 6 and then everything just gets better and better!
Dave miller is being baptized this Saturday, something else we are really excited for. He is the driest mormon you ever met. He already pays tithing and keeps the word of wisdom and already has an 'assignment' (they can't call it a calling because he isnt baptized yet)
Super cool guy. I am amazed at his faith, and at the faith of everyone i meet out here. Everyone is just so awesome!
Im glad to hear that what i said helped leslie. Also the interview with elder grow was really cool. It motivated me a lot. Im nervous about next transfer. I am praying that i stay in this area for at least one more transfer. That would be so great. I would love to do that. I love the people here, I love the missionaries here, i love my calling here, i love the weather, i love the living conditions, i love the opportunities in this area for growth, i just love everything about it.
But of course, because im comfortable here, i will probably have to get transferred. I've been here for 3, so it would be a miracle if i got to stay another one, especially since im almost finished training elder hatch. It will be such a bummer to leave. I know i cant stay my whole mission here though, although i wish i could. It is an awesome area.
I am really so glad to hear that everyone is doing well, and i will try to respond to the kids emails next week, let them know that. Tell them all that i love them and have a big group hug for me :)
Im going to send a slideshow in a separate video. Its this thing called memories, and its pretty fun and gives a nice recap of my time here in the lakeside ward.
Love you!
You are so right about goals. Heavenly Father can help us achieve our goals if we include him in the setting of goals and also the implementation of them.
