WEEK #46 - Sand in the Eyes, Eyes on the Prize

Great week! Welcome back. Hope you enjoy another week of adventure from my quarantined life... yay... :)

Monday: June 1st
Happy happy June!! A lot of things have happened in a year :) I love being out here in Colorado, it's blessed my life in many many ways. I love all of you and want you to become better! That's what the Savior wants, He has high expectations because He loves us. Today we also got to have a lesson with Nick who was a self referral (someone who asked us to start teaching them) and we put him on date for baptism on June 27th!!! He is SO ready to accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Gosh, the Lord truly has a plan for each of us. Patience is central to the unfoldings of His perfect plan for your life :)

I flippin love flowers and the sunset <3

Tuesday: June 2nd
Today we had MLC! It was a looong meeting but we had some really good discussions and plans on how to help the mission. We had a lesson with Angela who is SOOO excited for her baptism on June 13th!! She is a wonderful character and has made a lot of sacrifices to get to this point. Heavenly Father knows and understands each of us. He loves us. What greater Truth than that? To know that there is a God, who is our Father, and that He loves you. Email me if you want to know if this is true for you too. Little hint... it is :)
Wednesday: June 3rd
We had our VERY FIRST in person District council today! We all had to be 6 feet apart and wearing masks.... holy cow. This is the first tine we've all seen each other in 3 months. It's been really crazy out here on the mission.

First in person District council!

We had a couple member lessons trying to show them how to use Facebook... I like these lessons cause I get to practice a lot of patience... ;) We then picked up Elder Kofford to keep for the day!! (He was my last companion here in Lands End) and it was good to catch up on old times. He's awesome :)

Thursday: June 4th
Us and the facebook specialists gave another training to the mission. Super fun! I got to drive a bunch today, went to Rifle and back. It was long! :) We taught Angela in person for the first time in 3 months... it was so relieving to finally be in person. We had a great lesson talking about her baptism next Saturday! I am so excited for her, she has sacrificed so much to get here. I know the Lord is very happy with her and her progress!

 Lesson with Angela :)

Friday: June 5th
Today we went to drop Elder Kofford off at the airport but they canceled his flight! So we had to wait to the evening to send him off. We had a crazy windstorm come in today and before that it hit 99 degrees in Junction!!! Dannnng Gina! I swear there is 5 gallons of flippin sand in my eyes from all the wind that was blowing today... good day :)

Saturday: June 6th
Today was awesome! We had a lesson with Nick, who's a STUD. He basically taught us about humility and accepted everything we taught about the Restoration and the Word of Wisdom (health guidelines in the Church). He is so ready for his baptism. :) Angela is doing wonderful, she only has 7 days left! She was so excited and kept goofin off with us as we were teaching her. She's so awesome, haha ;)

Sunday: June 7th
We were able to introduce Nick to our local Bishop and his family. He was so appreciate of all the support he's been given, even in just a week! Angela is doing well and counting down the days. We had a good facebook live too, I love doing those! Everyone keeps saying how sad it's going to be when I'm not companions with Elder Samojla anymore... too true :( But whatever the Lord has in store, I will buy. He has many more adventures ahead for me :)

Thank you everyone, I hope you have a great week!

Love,
Elder LaRose
