This week was insane! Lots of work done and more to come. Such is life, ammirite? :)
Monday: July 6th
Happy birthday McKayd!!!!! Hope you enjoy the day brother :) Today we got lifted from our temporary full quarantine. Everyone is healthy so far in the mission. Thank you for your prayers! I also made the mistake of eating Elder Samojla's burnt lasagna... it was not a good experience. I regret it. Oh well! ;) We got to teach Nick and Carol again. It's so cool seeing how teaching faith in Jesus Christ is the same no matter who you're talking to. We all need faith. We all need Him. So have faith IN Him! :)
Tuesday: July 7th
We got to train the Zone and talked alot about faith and unity. There's great power when a group of people, even just when you and one other person, are fully united and faithful in all causes. The Lord loves this effort and will bless you with strength through your trials together! :) We got to teach Angela and Stayven again, they are amazing. I love them both so much!
Dinner with Angela!
Today was PACKED! We had a meeting with someone planned for every 30 minutes of the day... holy cow. Got to talk to my cousin Megan though, she's AWEsome!
FUNNY STORY: You will NOT believe what I did... so there was an 8 year old getting baptized today and someone else was filling up the font. They accidentally let the font fill up for too long and it was overfilling!!! So they were freaking out but I came up said, "I'll do it, no problem." And JUMPED INTO the baptismal font, unplugged the drain, let it get to the right level, and then replugged it... I was NOT expecting to go for a swim today and get half baptized ;) Fun times over here in Rado!
Thursday: July 9th
Today was very exciting to hear from another NAC meeting and MTC training. I got a pretty awesome package from my aunt Staci, cousins, and from Nana and Papa! Thank you SO MUCH!! I'm going to have to hide all those wonderful homemade cookies from Elder Samojla haha :) We had an amazing dinner with Angela outside! She brought us Texas Roadhouse and was very happy to see "her Elders" there. She's so happy now :) I'm very excited for her to one day meet the rest of my family!
Friday: July 10th
Today was cool to have another Facebook Council where we get a lot of things moving forward. Also got to talk with my awesome Aunt Staci about the importance of having a spiritual foundation. We have really good conversations, if you're ever interested in having them with me and Elder Samojla then reach out! :)
Nana's famous cookies!!
Saturday: July 11th
Today we had our second in person dinner with a member. It was so relaxing to just be outside for once! I'm sure the Lord is very mindful of all the trials we go through each day, put your trust in Him! He's the only place where trust should be put :)
Sunday: July 12th
Stayven's baptism was today! It was such a wonderful experience seeing him make that decision. We taught him for about a month and he's opened up so much. His parents were extremely appreciative towards me and Elder Samojla for teaching him. Such a good kid. Danyel actually came to church today too! Unfortunately we had to leave cause of a new mission rule where we have to leave church if more than 5 people aren't wearing masks... rip. We only lasted for 10 minutes haha.
Stayven's Baptism!!
Well I love you all! Thanks for reading these emails, I hope they brighten your day!
Love,
