WEEK #52 - Fifty-Two Weeks in Naturita and Lands End!

So weird that I hit my year mark in four days from now! It's been a wild ride for sure... more to come! I've been out for almost a year... 52 weeks... and I've been in two of the best areas in the mission!! :)

AWEsome day! :) Always refreshing to sit inside all day... we got to teach Carol in person again which was fun. She's been reading so much lately, I'm glad she's been learning more about the Book of Mormon. So happy we don't have to do phone call lessons with her anymore haha. Also transfer news came out!! I'll be staying for a 5th transfer here in Lands End (7months)

NO judging! I was hungry... :)

Tuesday: July 14th
We had our last District Council in the Melody Lane District. We're being split to make room for the new missionaries, now in the Orchard Mesa District. There are SO many new missionaries that were reassigned that we have to split areas in two and put half the missionaries in HOTELS because of the lack of apartments. Crazy times for sure!

Wednesday: July 15th
Training the whole mission again on... guess what? Facebook! I've come to enjoy Facebook, it's not that bad :) I love how the Lord uses such simple and mysterious tools to accomplish His work! Had a great lesson with Staci, she is such a wonderful aunt. I love her!

This is what my desk looks like nowadays... :(

Thursday: July 16th!
Many memories made on this day! :) Good stuff, ammirite? We sadly had to pass off Angela to another set of Elders. She moved to Montrose so we had our last lesson. She's so awesome, I'm definitely going to miss her but am for sure going to talk with her again after the mission! Also Melody Lane Elders baptized two amazing people named Nate and Colton, they were the very first people found through Facebook that got baptized!!

Friday: July 17th
Today we got to work a little bit with the Lands End 2 Elders! It's so weird seeing so many split areas in the mission. Definitely an interesting time in the world today! Today I also smacked a fly out of the air with my hand... Elder Samojla said it looked cool, haha! :)

 What's up?


Saturday: July 18th
We have officially gone insane. We got another SIM card today, which basically means we have two fully functional phones with service instead of one. That's crazy! It's the Facebook Team Lead phone number which is Elder Samojla of course :) He's so good at Facebook!

Sunday: July 19th
Today was a great Sunday. Got to finally see the new district in person and I could feel the unity between us. As we serve the Lord, we come to realize that we're coming closer to not only God but to each other as we focus on following Him! You come to realize that the best way to truly get closer with those you love is by both following in the Savior's footsteps. Email me to find out what your next step is!

Love you all so much! Have a great week :)

Love,
Elder LaRose
