WEEK #82 - SubZero Denver

This week was COLD! But we got a lot done, so it was helpful to be inside our warm apartment all day long anyways :) I've been quarantined for almost 11 months.....

Monday: February 8th

Another good pday! We had a lesson with Brother Siler who shared a powerful testimony about how our Savior Jesus Christ has been able to help him change. And not only that, but help him FEEL forgiveness not only from God but from himself... a powerful principle I've been able to see reflected in my own life. 

Tuesday: February 9th

Amy came! Who's Amy? Only the best ever. She hemmed my suit pants of which I am super grateful for! She's a great family friend and one of my mom's BFFs and so they always talk about me cause she lives closest to where I am in Denver. So shoutout to Amy, she's amazing! #missionarymom

Amy!!! :)

Today was CRAZY. We drove to the Denver airport to pick up 5 new missionaries. And nothing goes wrong at the airport, right?? Wrong. One missionary had their flight canceled, and another was wandering the airport lost for about a hour! We finally got everyone back and took them to their various areas. We had one of the new missionaries spend the night with us... oh my goodness. New missionaries are so innocent haha! It's so cool comparing who I was at the beginning of my mission to where I am now. So much has changed! And now I get to continue to progress with where I am now in order to become who Heavenly Father needs me to be :)

Transfer day... at 4am! We got everyone loaded on the bus in the morning headed off to Rifle and Grand Junction. Again, it was freezing in the morning... yay... :) We taught Cameron today about the Word of Wisdom which is really helpful health guidelines that we follow as members of the Church of Jesus Christ. He took it well!

Crazy day! Denver got smacked with a super cold arctic front... we drove the departing missionaries to the Denver airport and we were walking in -9° weather!! Dang gina. This arctic cold was so bitter I had to switch hands with my luggage every few minutes or else my hand would freeze. I took my group all around the airport and got them through security. It was sad seeing another good group of missionaries go home. The one thing I learned today: Do not walk outside when it's -9° 

Out for a walk!

Saturday: February 13th

Met with Brother Littlefield over breakfast! He's basically the boss for our Mission President and we had a good conversation with him. Today me and Elder Hawkes made a lot of videos for Facebook! We are trying to contact people that live here in Denver and share messages with them about Jesus Christ. Everyone could use a little more of Him! 

Straight faced Valentines

My mom made us do this

Sunday: February 14th

Happy Valentines day!! A day for goofs for sure... :) My face was covered in hearts today and I made the traditional LaRose candy trail from my bedroom. You're welcome mom!! We went to church in -6° weather again... nice :) I can't believe how long this arctic cold has lasted over here in Denver. It was a good day though!

Candy trail...

I hope each of you enjoyed the week, and that you continue to press forward!

Love,

Elder LaRose
