Great week!
Monday: November 9th
Today was life changing. I learned a lot about the word TRUST in my personal study. To be able to trust in Heavenly Father sometimes feels like it takes an immeasurable amount of faith. And in a sense, it does take a lot. But it is so worth it. When we trust in Him we begin to understand what true sacrifice looks like! When we begin to understand that, we then begin to align our will with His, therefore bringing our life in harmony with His purpose. I trust in the Lord my God. It's hard, and never easy, but the blessings and joy that come from such trust are worth every drop of patience endured. It will all work out... trust <3

Today me and Elder Hawkes got absolutely roasted... haha! We were on a call with this specialist who oversees missionary work across many missions, and he basically flamed us for 45mins over the phone. :) He asked question after question about what our mission was and wasn't doing. It was comparable to that scene in Avengers where the Hulk just absolutely demolishes Loki by slamming him back and forth by the legs... it was fun I'll tell you! ;)
Wednesday: November 11th
Today was busy, we taught a bunch of lessons. One with our man Tony! We shared how the restored Gospel has blessed our life and invited him to sincerely study and pray if it can bless his as well. I know that this Gospel is true! Now, what do I mean by that? I mean that by living the doctrine and principles of Christ's teachings has brought me my greatest joy! It's something I grew up with, yes, but ever since I've come to learn these things for myself I can see why it's important. Feel free to email me if you desire to receive the same continual joy from better living the Gospel!
Thursday: November 12th
Today we got to take two missionaries to the Denver airport who are going to their previously assigned mission! One to Poland and the other to Germany... crazy that Europe is opening up now. Then, me and Elder Hawkes met with President to start on transfers! It's actually amazing seeing how the Lord truly knows where to place His missionaries, and the discernment we receive to know where they need to be. The Lord truly is mindful of every single one of us, He knows us individually and – perfectly.
Friday: November 13th
HAPPY 50TH BDAY DAD!!! I hope you had an amazing day today. I love you!! Today we finished up some more transfers then taught a lot of in person member lessons. Crazy how we're all wearing masks and still teaching about Jesus Christ. The work must go onward!
Saturday: November 14th
Had a couple meetings and trainings which went well. Me and Elder Hawkes were talking with President and now we are going to hold a weekly accountability call with each individual companionship in the MLC. We are about to have to get a whole lot more organized now! We joked about buying a 95" whiteboard to write everything down... and we just might do it :)
Sunday: November 15th
Today was packed with lessons. Church was different because we got some more strict COVID guidelines so that was fun. Never in my life did I think I would be in church with a mask on, sitting completely apart from others. We live in unique times! We helped share a message with someone who's going through a ton of medical problems, and it was amazing to hear them say, "Jesus Christ gave me a second chance at life." What a powerful statement! Our Savior has given everything for us, and so as we follow Him please know you are on the right path. And when you fall off, which inevitably you will at times, please know you are always worthy to make those steps back to Him.
Have a great week, and enjoy to the end!
Love,
