WEEK #74 - Denver Car Keys... in Utah...

 Another week gone by, it was surely a crazy one! 


Monday: December 14th
AWEsome day today, haha. I haven't said that in a while! Today was great talking to the family. We got a lot of good things done!

Tuesday: December 15th
Today was virtual exchanges with Craig. Crazy how we can talk with missionaries who live so many miles away, technology can be a pain but also a huge blessing! We called a TON of people today, sometimes I feel like a telemarketer but other times we get to make super cool connections with all the people here in Colorado. The message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is definitely worth sounding in every ear, families truly can be together forever, and lives truly can change through sincere repentance. This is what I teach, and I'm so blessed to have come to know it's true value in my own life. Feel free to email me if you have any questions about how you can receive lasting peace in this life, and in the life to come!

Wednesday: December 16th
Our last virtual exchange with Littleton, my own Zone. We taught this great man named Aurelio who was so grateful for the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation! Meaning, that God truly has an individual and specific plan for each of us. He knows us each by name, for we are His children. But with our Father in Heaven we can be guaranteed that He won't forget our names despite how my dad would always mix up me and my siblings names, haha! Hey, I still love you Dad! :)

Thursday: December 17th
Today was today person Zone Conference where we got together with a bunch of missionaries all socially distanced with masks on... yay! Who wouldn't thought that we get to live in a time as this? A worldwide, global pandemic... something this world has never seen before, and we have the blessing of navigating our lives to more fully follow our Savior Jesus Christ in these times.

CRAZY STORY:
Today was WEIRD. I got to drive home the next group of missionaries to the Denver airport today and the crazy thing is – this was the group of Sisters that came out with me at the beginning of my mission! Now it's just me. All alone. Just kidding, haha that would be illegal I have my companion Elder Hawkes ;) It was a packed day trying to figure out transfers. We even had a missionary FLY HOME that had forgotten he had the keys to one of the mission cars with him in his pocket!! We were scared to tell President that the keys to one of the Denver cars was all the way in Utah, haha! Luckily we got it figured out haha.

Saturday: December 19th
We had a bunch of good lessons and meetings today. We even got to meet Brother Whitney over zoom! We've had just phone calls the past 7 lessons so it's nice to actually "see" people haha.

Sunday: December 20th
Happy 20th!!! I flippin love this day :) I can't believe how much time has flown! Today we got to attend a special Christmas service at our church! It was all focused on Luke chapter 2 and our wonderful Savior's birth. What a great day to reflect upon the love that God has for each of us through His Son Jesus Christ... we got to talk with Jay and he agreed to prepare to be baptized on January 23rd! He truly has changed his heart, and is excited to finally have that peace that he desires in his life. Good day!

I hope you all enjoy this week, and MERRY CHRISTMAS! Enjoy the season and know that Heavenly Father loves you very much. I love you all too!

Love,
Elder LaRose
