"The comfort zone is where potential dies." Just a cool quote I found this week!
Monday: August 3rd
AWEsome day! ;) It was so good talking to everyone, I'm so glad to have the support of my family! Today me and Elder Samojla got to meet with a bunch of other companionships and walk them through Facebook. We taught them how to be effective at finding people and making meaningful connections with others! I never thought my mission would ever turn into a "Facebook mission" but I sure love sharing my love for the Savior – and His love for YOU – with everyone no matter what means I communicate that by :)
There's a huge wildfire that's been going on for 12 days now across Colorado... please send prayers!

CRAZY STORY:
Okay, do any of you remember the neighborhood kids I always mention? No, not the nice ones that sit outside our door and beg for food... the mean ones across the street that spray me with water guns and hit Elder Samojla with a scooter! Well..... they're back. So me and Elder Samojla were just casually walking around in the neighborhood until we turn the corner and see the mean kids all playing in the street. Fear and terror struck our hearts... we decided to press onward, hoping to go unnoticed on the sidewalks. Too late! They saw us. One of them ran up to me and asked me, "Can I hit you with my bat?" And I said, "No." THEN HE HIT ME with his BAT! Oh my goodness... it was only plastic so it was painless but come on kid! Elder Samojla, my stud companion, snatched the bat out of this 6 years olds hand and threw it in the street and we booked it out of there. Fun times though! ;)
Wednesday: August 5th
Got to train the whole MLC again and now they should all be Facebook experts... hopefully. We'll probably have to give them more trainings but, oh well! Such is life! Ammmmirite?! ;) Had a good lesson with my cousin Megan, she's a stud! Today I also got to have my interview with President, so nice to see him in person.
All we wear is masks :)
Thursday: August 6th
We went to the E 1/2 district council which was fun. Me and Elder Samojla had a lesson with Carol at the church again. We went so ham we were like Alma and Amulek in Alma 12:1 it was so awesome, haha! I love teaching with Elder Samojla, we've gotten quite used to each other over the past 5 months... :)
Friday: August 7th
Me and Elder Samojla got sketched out by this lady we were talking to so we set an alarm for 7 minutes. Once the alarm goes off our plan was to fake a phone call and DIP out of there! We ended up agreeing to come back tomorrow to do service for her, haha! The Lord works in mysterious ways. :)
Saturday: August 8th
We did a bunch of service! Shoveled rocks and pulled weeds. It was great to serve others, the only bad thing was doing it in 100° Junction heat!! Holy cow... it was a good day. I know that the Savior's love for you is greater than anything, please know that you are never alone!
Service time :)
Sunday: August 9th
Today was great to be in sacrament meeting again. Always fun to see most of the ward there! Everyone's surprised that I haven't been transferred yet, I mean I've only been here since January... :)
Monday: August 10th
Today we did some more service! Whoop, whoop. Shoveling some good old rocks. After an hour me and Elder Samojla decided to bail so we could get ready for IN PERSON Zone Conference! Too bad in changed my pday to Tuesday... oh well! We had great trainings and the Spirit was pretty evident. President and Sister Rees are amazing at doing that. The whole Zone was empowered and excited! It was so weird having everyone 6 feet apart and wearing masks... definitely an unforgettable experience.
How Zone Conference looks!
Hope you all have an amazing week! Work hard, study hard!
Love,
Elder LaRose
