WEEK #101 - Rain, Rain, and... Colfax! :)

 Hard workin week :)

The Fax 

Monday: June 21st

Today was a crazy day! First it started on the Fax (Colfax street) with this random lady cussing the road out. She was pushing a shopping cart and standing in the middle of the road yelling like crazy... dang gina! She was going crazy and we had to Gotta love the Fax :) It's not as dangerous for us because we do knocking doors, but it is the most dangerous part of Colorado... what a great way to finish strong!

Colfax view of Denver!

Tuesday: June 22nd

We had a great district council and a powerful lesson with Sue! We noticed a distinct different in how we taught when we had the Spirit with us. We read this verse with Sue, "there is one thing which is of more importance than they all– for behold, the time is not far distant that the Redeemer liveth and cometh among His people." I know my Redeemer lives! <3

Going around the hood

Wednesday: June 23rd

Had a fun little virtual church tour with our friend Sharon over zoom! We got creative holding the phone different ways with all 3 of us taking turns being the "tour guides" haha. It was great and Sharon loved it. Who would've known how helpful it would be to use zoom to give a tour of the church for someone, now they are able to feel a lot more comfortable when they come on Sunday! 

Thursday: June 24th

Today marked my 23 month mark. Oof. I can't believe it and it's NOT happening!!! Lot of Facebook work today and hard work. Another great day to be a missionary! 

Haircuts today!

Friday: June 25th

FUNNY STORY:

Today was AWEsome, haha! We totally got destroyed by the rain today. We didn't coordinate things and had to drop off our car to be fixed in Wheat Ridge for an hour only to realize that we had no place or car to go to, a zoom call lesson in 10 minutes, and a thunderstorm rolling in..... so what did we do? We ran to the nearest park, sat in a dugout, then got drenched by the rain as there was no covering expect a tiny ledge from a shed haha! Sadly the lesson fell through but we definitely got the goof end of the deal with being stuck in the rain. 

Dugout lesson before getting rained on

Saturday: June 26th

Lots of efforts today to find people to teach about the Gospel of Jesus Christ! I'll share a dream I had last night– essentially the gist of it was hearing the words spoken to me, "You're not finished with your work." Wow. That was a wake up call for sure! Everything needs to be devoted and focused on our Savior. Having that dream surely was a motivation to understand how much of an impact we all can make in short times. Regardless of anything I have ever done these last 23 months it doesn't matter, I need to always have the mindset that there is always more to do, always others to help, and always more breaths to take before my work is finished. I pray the Lord will bless you and guide you in your own personal efforts to minister to others and bring the light of Christ into their life! 

Mega lucky charms??? I know who wants these.... :) 

Sunday: June 27th

Today was great, we 3 all gave talks in church! Elder Neal was on commitment, Elder Proctor was on prayer, and mine was on conversion unto the Lord. Powerful Spirit, it was fun preparing the talk with just 5 bullet points on a notecard :) Sue came to church which was great! We again got drenched in the rain today, it's been so strange seeing how much rain Denver has been getting lately. It rarely rains in Colorado. 

Enjoy the week and let us all press on!

Hand in hand with the Lord :)

Love,
