WEEK #78 - Excitement Is In The Air!

 Another great week!

Monday: January 11th

Today I found a deodorant in Target named, "Manly Lavender Smells".... wow, what have they come to in this world? Haha! Only goofs... we had a great Ward Coordination discussion with the Orchard Ward that I'm serving in. It's super helpful to all be on the same page when discussing how we can best help others come closer to our Savior Jesus Christ!

Aujourd'hui, c'est mardi!! Wait a minute, why am I speaking French? Haha, goofs... Anyways, today was exchanges with Front Range! I went over to their apartment with Elder Bennett, he's absolutely hilarious. We taught some lessons and tried to share some messages about Christ on Facebook with people. We both got along cause he served in the one and only Naturita!! He came after me when I left in Jan 2020. It was a good day. Excitement is in the air!

Wednesday: January 13th

Today we felt prompted to eat lunch at Cafe Rio... and guess what? We met one of our members there and she paid for our meal! Wow. I'm so grateful for small and simple things like that! We must always be willing to recognize and accredit even the smallest of blessings to be from the hand of the Lord :) 

Thursday: January 14th

Today was interesting, we had almost every single lesson cancel on us! That's pretty rare for us, but we had a good experience learning how to juggle new plans on the spot. That's the fun part about missions is learning what to do when there is NO plans for what to do, haha :)

Friday: January 15th

Interviews with President and Sister Rees are so fun! They get to assess how we're doing, and we get to have a open discussion. I'm so grateful to be serving along with them! A miracle that happened today is that we were able to enter inside a house for the first time in 3 months!! We are only allowed to be there for 15 minutes with everyone having masks on... what a crazy amazing world that we live in today. We must all ADAPT and trust that Heavenly Father is in control... which He is. :)

Sunset!

Saturday: January 16th

Me and Elder Hawkes trained on having faith, and being prepared. It was a great way to help the whole mission focus more on strengthening their faith in Jesus Christ and being prepared to accomplish the things which He has asked us to do! 1 Nephi 3:7 rings loud and true by saying, "I will go and do..." I know this principle is true!

Sunday: January 17th

Today we had a packed schedule with lessons from 2:30pm-8pm! We welcomed our friend Yenni at church and the speakers talked about how we must reflect upon this past year and point out Heavenly Father's hand in our life. This is such an empowering activity because I've recognize how many blessings the year 2020 has brought into my life, and into the life of others!

Enjoy the week, and continue on the path of righteousness. If you're unsure of where that path lies, I encourage you to reach out. To who? God. He is there! Message me if you don't know how to start.

Love,

Elder LaRose
