WEEK #94 - Van Down By The Temple

 Transfer week was a good one! Enjoy the read. 

Monday: May 3rd

Crazy day today! We had a power outage in the town and lots of things stopped working. It has surprisingly raining a bunch of times this week which is surprising in Colorado... usually we don't get much rain, just.... snow in May :)

Early morning van driving

Tuesday: May 4th

Prepared for transfers this week, I'll be staying a 6th transfer here in my wonderful area! (8 1/2 months) and I've loved how much I've learned. Worked hard today! And also, Happy Star Wars Day!! May the Fourth be with you. 

Wednesday: May 5th

Today was driving to the Denver airport to pick up new missionaries! I always love this day. It's so energizing talking to the new missionaries with all their questions they have. I got to drive the 12 passenger van, and I always feel like a glorified bus driver haha. It was a fun day, and I loved spending time with the new missionaries! It is so special to see their genuine desire to serve our Savior Jesus Christ and to help others feel of that light/love. This is what this is all about! This is why I send out these emails... to help invite others to come closer to our Savior. 

Even earlier morning van driving... :)

Thursday: May 6th

Woke up at 4am for transfers to get the new missionaries out of the hotel into the van... so fun haha! We called this one person and in their voicemail they said where they worked so we dropped by their workplace and it turns out that they had super bad cell service all the time and was actually interested in listening to our message! That was a fun way to full send it and be guided by the Spirit

Friday: May 7th

Today was dropping off the Departing missionaries to the airport. We had breakfast and got to drive to the Denver temple grounds! The Denver temple is a holy place, a place of love and beauty. The flowers were gorgeous and the white stone was beautiful. I love the temple! In our religion, the temple is a place where we can feel peace, seek revelation, and find comfort in our Savior Jesus Christ. We make promised and covenants with God to show our faith to Him and His restored path. What a beautiful insight! If you want to hear a personal story about the temple feel free to ask me in an email. I haven't been to the temple since August 13th, 2019!

Flowers Trees and Temple!

Saturday: May 8th

We met up with Kyle from Facebook at the park today! He brought coffee and I brought hot chocolate so that was a fun conversation, haha! He was pretty interested in learning more about the Book of Mormon so we gave him a copy and taught a little bit about how God has reached out to His children in love to bring forth additional scripture and guidance! Feel free to message me if you want to learn more about this too. :)

Happy Mothers day!!!! Big appreciation to my mom, Jenna! I love you mom <3 Mothers are the best. I made a Facebook post explaining a little more about it, but I know that my mom has been strengthened by the hand of God to get through her trials! I'm eternally thankful for her. We worked hard today, and got to spend a good amount of time on Facebook. 

Enjoy the week and the pictures!

Love,

Elder LaRose
