Another week down! I'm so glad to have the opportunity to serve so many others, and teach them about Jesus Christ. Annnnnd.... we got snow! Time to winterize my life.
Monday: December 7th
Today was fun! I love planning :) It's always so interesting, because I've learned that no matter how many good plans and goals we set, Heavenly Father just decks them all... lovingly though, of course. We at times need to trust that our plans are not aligned with what He wants, therefore furthering our trust and faith in Him. That's what He truly wants. He truly wants disciples that follow His covenant path, not blindly because of strict obedience, but out of genuine love and desire to choose what truly is right. Good stuff!
This is the new normal we live in...
We were training today on stress management.... yay! I got roasted by the Spirit telling me that I needed to organize my desk, haha! :) I'm sorry, I just have so many notecards strewn everywhere... it was a great day, we even had virtual exchanges with the Rifle Elders.
Wednesday: December 9th
Today we went on virtual exchanges with Grand Junction, back to Lands End! I love that area. I even got to teach my good friend Carol as she continues to read in the Book of Mormon! Funny enough, I taught her for over 7 months, twice in person and the rest over the phone... and now she has zoom! It was a blessing haha.
Thursday: December 10th
Today we sadly had to pick up Elder Mu from the airport. He's the Samoan who was going home, but now the flight got canceled and he's back here in Denver with 32 months on his mission... Holy cow! It was a little sad to hear him say, "Hey guys..." when he saw us, but the Lord will provide compensating blessings to the sacrifices we have to make. I know that to be true because I've seen His hand in my own life. You are not excluded from this clause. Heavenly Father loves you and wants you to receive joy throughout your life... just time and trust.
Friday: December 11th
We got tons of SNOW today, it was so cold... Denver winter is coming up fast! We also got to virtually exchange with my last companion Elder Malm from Montrose! I taught Angela again, who is so hilarious. She was glad to see me again. She roasted me and my virtual companion Elder Stott for being too skinny and that we needed to fatten up, haha! Hey... I'm not that skinny! Maybe... alright. I'm working on it okay, I eat at least two bowls of cereal ;)
Really cool snow picture!
Saturday: December 12th
Lots of meetings with President but we got to teach a new friend named Cameron! We taught about what Jesus Christ did in the Bible and how it applies today. There is so much confusing out there, so why not learn about how we can receive answers from God, the source of all truth? It's a fun and patient process!
Sunday: December 13th
Today it was so cold! I haven't been this cold in a long time... welcome back Colorado winter! Today we watched Stake Conference, meaning a bunch of good local speakers came and talked about faith in Jesus Christ. It was all virtual of course. We then taught Jay about the importance of having a Savior in Heavenly Father's plan, it was a powerful lesson! Nothing is more important than coming to understand the role Jesus Christ played in each of our lives. Please pray for Jay to feel a spark of truth as he continues to pray and read from the Book of Mormon!
I hope your holidays are going well! I miss you all and wish you a merry Christmas!
Love,
