Another intense week, with much to learn!
Monday: November 30th
Today we got to teach a few people in the evening after the classic shopping at Walmart! Pday is just an amazing day, haha :)
Tuesday: December 1st
We had MLC bright and early in the morning! The roads were all snowed over but we got to drive with a heavy truck so it was pretty safe. There were so many people who crashed, it was insane! But thankfully the roads weren't too dangerous, just definitely don't forget to pray for safety before you drive. MLC was intense, we covered a lot of ground and me and Elder Hawkes trained all the ZLs and STLs.
Wednesday: December 2nd
Today we had virtual exchanges... back at it again! The state of Colorado has a new rule where only one household can get together. So what does that mean for me? That means me and my companion get to be in our apartment all day long! :) Holy cow, this whole Covid pandemic has really changed alot of things... I am so thankful that at least I'm in control of one thing – my attitude. I love serving the Lord, and I'll forever serve Him in His way, even if that means staying in my apartment like I have been for the past 8 months. The Lord will assuredly provide compensating blessings :)
Thursday: December 3rd
Another virtual exchange! This time with Columbine. We had a powerful lesson with Melissa, helping her resolve more concerns but she's still facing alot of opposition from people who should really be supporting her decision to come closer to Jesus Christ.
President and Sister Rees, with us
Friday: December 4th
Another virtual exchange with Front Range! We made some good plans and President Rees got the whole mission excited talking about Vision 100. Meaning, we have a Vision of helping 100 people make more promises with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ all in the same month!
President and Sister Rees!
Saturday: December 5th
Today we had lots of meetings and contacts in, but luckily me and Elder Hawkes realized that we had only spent 27 hours in our apartment straight... holy cow!! This quarantine missionary life sure is crazy, but I love it. At least I should say, I've come to learn how to love it haha :) Keep your spirits up! The Lord is on our side <3
Yep. I made Mango Chicken!!
Sunday: December 6th
Today we had a really powerful lesson with Jay about how God is our loving Heavenly Father and how He wants us to feel forgiveness through repentance. The Spirit was so calming and present as we discussed the basic and core values of a belief in God. I know my Heavenly Father is a loving God, who doesn't have a hovering gavel over us to condemn us with every mistake we make, but He has an outstretched arm... waiting, and ever so willing to receive us back into His merciful arms. I love my Savior!
Fear thou not. God is with us.
Love,
Elder LaRose
