Monday: April 26th

Because Denver is weird and wants to have a snow storm at the end of April we moved MLC to today. It was a long meeting, but we got some good things done! The drive back was amazing, I love it all the time especially because I have all the roads/highways in the mission memorized now! We focused alot on our purpose as missionaries and how it connects to the Doctrine of Christ. Jesus Christ taught us the path that we need to follow, we must trust His plan for us in life and move forward accordingly!

Had preparation day today, and it started to hail! Within 10 minutes it changed back to sunshine and roses haha... classic Denver! It then started raining hard with lightning and thunder in the opposite direction that the hail originally came in... nice. 

Hamburger cooking skills on point...

Wednesday: April 28th

Hard working day :)

Thursday: April 29th

Had a fun combined District council. We covered a lot about obedience, and I love how this principle is the very first foundational principle of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! There is no such thing as partial obedience or part-time discipleship. We must be all in! 

Friday: April 30th

Hard working day! Got to meet Annette from Facebook in person at the park, it was such a nice day! We got to teach her about the Restoration, and answer her questions about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. It was such a powerful experience reciting the First Vision account from memory. The Spirit testifies that it is true!

Service time!

Saturday: May 1st

Met a lady over the phone named Lupe! She's  been needing a new change in her life, and some much needed peace in her home... what's the solution? The Gospel of Jesus Christ! I'm so glad to have the knowledge of a loving Savior, who can access the peace we need in our lives. We need to reach out, and commit. Take His hand and don't let go! 

Sunday: May 2nd

Hard working day, got to meet some more members in the ward who are returning from COVID-19! I can't believe there are so many who haven't been to church in over a year... good thing we have technology, and we have God to worship in our homes! There is a great beauty in a personal, homebound worship of the Lord. I've done it before, and commend all who are still striving to do so. 

You would think thorns would hurt less...

Funny quotes:

"My kid's name is... sheep." Elder LaRose

"In the COVID-19 version of missionary work we don't do anything different. We still contact and reach out to people.... but, we eat snacks." Elder LaRose

Have fun with those ones :) Enjoy the week!

Love,

Elder LaRose
