WEEK #50 - The Same Four Walls: Challenge Accepted

Welcome back! Notice this is week 50!! Holy cow... time truly flies when you've only been in two areas ;)

Monday: June 29th

Today was awesome! Got to email, gmail, and do all the mail. That's right. I'm awkward :) Haha! Today we got to go to Walmart and saw this random guy with gloves on going insane with doing pushups in the middle of the parking lot... what?! Haha. Story of my life here in GJ. We have crazy people doing pushups in Walmart parking lots... in the evening we were able to have a lesson with Carol in person! 

Happy Fourth of July!!

Tuesday: June 30th

We drove all the way to Avon for an in person MLC! That was so insane to see everyone there in person, we still had to wear masks. We had them on for 10 hours straight! Me and Elder Samojla gave a facebook training and it went really well. I really enjoyed the scenery of driving through Colorado, it's a good place :) We then had a lesson with Stayven too!

Wednesday: July 1st

Happy month of July!! Wow. It's July. I still have the Christmas tree up though so... :) Today we got to train the whole mission again, we practiced how to invite members to like and follow the area page on Facebook! Such a simple way to be apart of spreading the Gospel in a normal and natural way :) Got to talk to Megan and Staci again, they are awesome! 

Thursday: July 2nd

Happy Birthday Mom!!!! I'm so proud of you, I love you so much!! I'll give you a hint: my Mom's age is the same as my weekly... haha, I love you mom!! ;) Today was fun, we got to drive around some missionaries for transfers and added some more help to our Facebook Council! Elder Samojla is officially the Lead Facebook Specialist now, he's going to do great. :)

Friday: July 3rd

Today was a ton of busy work! We met with the MTC and then started creating a shift schedule on google docs for the whole mission. There was about 18 new missionaries that came into the mission, so many!

Saturday: July 4th

Happy Independence Day!!! Today was definitely a unique day. We found out the some members of the MLC developed some "symptoms of illness" as President put it so me and Elder Samojla got put in full quarantine away from all in person contact. No stores, no public places, no nothin! Please keep these missionaries in your prayers that are sick, I hope they get better soon. We had an awesome nightly devotional focused on patriotism and the freedom our Nation brings into our lives. More importantly, the freedom that Christ brings!

Sunday: July 5th

We struggled getting onto any Zoom meetings cause our connection so that was life. But even when everything seems to not work out, just remember (always remember!) that through relying on your Savior Jesus Christ and remaining forever strong and true to His Gospel you can be given the support, strength, and help you need in the VERY moment of your trials. Trust. Trust Him :)

This is what happens when you love notecards but write the same idea down on 10 of them

Shoutout to my cousin Kaysen, he's a BEAST! :)

I love you all, hope you enjoy these emails, and I hope you keep being such savage studs :)

Love,

Elder LaRose
