WEEK #60 - Krazy Kevin

 Another week rollin by!

Monday: September 7th

Empathy is a really cool to develop. I've been learning and experiencing about it alot recently! We need empathy in order to tap into the understanding power of our Savior's Atonement. We won't ever be able to fully understand one another's pain and trials... but He does... so let Him guide you together! :) Today Elder Malm went fishin, I didn't have a pole but it was a great day. 

Elder Malms GIANT fish!

Tuesday: September 8th

Today I was on in person exchanges with Elder Gerber! It was so fun actually being with another Elder. We haven't had exchanges since February! We were able to teach two lessons to members which was great. It was so cold when we went on our walk. We heard in Denver that yesterday it was 95 degrees and then today it was snowing... wow, thanks Colorado! Learned a lot from the exchange, I'm glad they're back. 

Wednesday: September 9th

Me and Elder Malm had a great time with some Facebook meetings. We met our WML to coordinate some plans for the Black Canyon ward. It's so awesome working and being on the same page as members!

Elder Malm!

Thursday: September 10th

Another exchange! I was with Elder Robinson here in Black Canyon, he's been out for 2 weeks. I remember when I was that young... ;) We worked hard and got to teach Angela again which was AWEsome! I then ate some cereal for a late night snack at 10:15pm.... I love how that's supposed to be "super late" on the mission, haha! Good day. 

Friday: September 11th

CRAZY STORY:

We met a man named Kevin. Krazy Kevin... he started talking to us as we were walking and took Elder Malms New Testament out of his hand. He then proceeds to bash us about reading the scriptures and how foolish we were for thinking they brought us eternal life. We testified that it was only our Savior Jesus Christ who could do so, and then he prayed over us by touching our shoulders with only four fingers while yelling, LORD GOD THANK YOU! It was quite the experience... I haven't been this unnerved in a while, haha! Me and Elder Malm got out of there real quick. There's krazy Kevin for you! What a day. 

Saturday: September 12th

Happy Birthday Londyn Loo!!!! I can't believe you're a legal adult now... haha! I hope your day goes well traveling around in MAINE! Maine is so AWEsome... ya goof! Hope you enjoy the day, Love you Sis :) 

Another one...

We got to do some more service today! It's always great to serve others, and we can do it in multiple ways. Christ served others throughout His entire life, and He did it out of sincere love. There was no reward, no expectations... and that's something we should all strive to develop! As we come closer to our Savior, we realize that this life is not about us. It never was. It's about turning outwards, away from the natural man (Mosiah 3:19) and returning to become more like our Savior... humble, loving, generous, understanding... ALL things we must keep working on each day! I can promise you, that as you come to understand how to follow Him each day in your life, you'll realize there are many people placed onto YOUR path for you to help along. They really need your help, just as much as you need His <3

Outside my apartment!

Sunday: September 13th

Sherril came to church! That was a surprise, but the ward was so happy to see her. Also, lesson learned: NEVER ever let Elder LaRose cook your chicken for you because it may or may not actually turn out to be slightly burned...... just some food for thought ;) We finished the night with a bunch of phone calls!

I've learned a lot this week, and I hope you have too. See you again later, keep loving and keep working hard!

Love,

Elder LaRose
