WEEK #54 - Goofin Along the Avon Road

 Another week chugging along!

Monday: July 27th

Today was amazing, I love being so unified! Pday was great to go to Walmart and play chess. Elder Samojla finally beat me in chess, I think he has won about every 3 in 300 games so he was pretty stoked to beat me, haha! ;) We were able to teach Carol in person again. She definitely loves Jesus I'll tell you that :)

Tuesday: July 28th

Lots of good facebook work! We got ads running on every single page which was fun until our card got declined for the third time... we called this lady and she said she was 92 years old!!! Holy cow! That's still insane. 

Wednesday: July 29th

Today was MLC! We drove 2.5 hours to Avon, Colorado and met in person. It was great seeing everyone, despite the masks. Me and Elder Samojla gave a good training about District leaders and how to best help them. We got a lot done! We drove with Elder Wade and Elder Wilson, the former being my past companion for about 2 weeks. It was so fun, lots of crazy memories. All in all, you end up just becoming best friends with most of your companions. :)

The Avon trip... 

Elder Wade and Elder Wilson!

Thursday: July 30th

Had some good meetings, talked with Nick for a bit he's doing well. Met with the Stake President and discussed facebook while he zoom called in from a lazy boy chair... nice! :)

Friday: July 31st

We met as a Zone over zoom and training them on Facebook and member engagement. It was fun seeing everyone online, despite the technical side of things. But, happy anniversary mom and dad!!! I'm so happy for them, 27 years and still going strong! Love you mom and dad! <3

Saturday: August 1st

Wait.... it's August?! Woah... July seemed to fly by. We finally got some new facebook specialists called to take our spot. Right now we are working with them to train them, but it's great finally having some more hands to help us. Faith is such an important aspect of everything in our life. If we don't have faith, then we aren't really trusting in God, so we must learn how to develop that faith... even if it only begins with hope, or merely a desire for faith! God is great, and He can take whatever you give Him and make the most of it! Beautiful, just beautiful. 

Sunday: August 2nd

We had a lesson with Jenny Krill (someone we are teaching with Lands End 2 Elders) and we put her on date! She's going to be praying about August 29th as a potential day for her to get baptized, what a big journey it's been so far.  I'm super happy to see her continue to progress and pray for herself about which direction she needs to take in her life. Greater peace awaits her, more than ever known before, as she follows Christ more fuller in her life. And I invite you all to do the same! In what way can you come closer to Christ? What is one thing that comes to mind? Write it down, and act upon it. I know you'll be blessed!

Love you all, hope your week is amazing!

Love,

Elder LaRose
