WEEK #98 - The Louisiana in Colorado

 Great busy week! 

Monday: May 31st

There was a noticable peace that I felt today as I took 10 minutes to study my scriptures. Focus on the Savior, focus on His words and His example. As you do so you'll notice a feeling in your heart that will last as you place yourself in an environment that brings you to close proximity with the Lord <3 

Avon, Colorado 

Tuesday: June 1st

Exchanges today with Elder Tesch was awesome! We are both at 23 and 22 months out in the mission so we worked hard and had a good time. Mainly today was filled with service! Serving others is a key aspect of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We can show Christlike charity as we serve others with the sincere desire to uplift, ease, and bless them! Service softens hearts and opens the way for God to prevail in all lives involved <3 I would highly encourage each of you to find some way to serve someone this week! 

Service with Elder Tesch!

Wednesday: June 2nd

MLC in Avon was great, lots of discussion on different aspects we are facing as a mission. The mission leadership definitely desire to move this work forward and I know I'm itching to help them out. We taught Brandy again over video chat with some members, she is so elect you can feel it! The Lord truly does guide you by the Spirit to find those who are ready to receive the blessings of the restored Gospel.

Us and President/Sister Rees!

Worked hard today! 

Friday: June 4th

Littleton exchanges today was fun, I had a trio with me and we worked hard even when we got locked out of our apartment because I left the keys IN THE ROOM! We got it all sorted out haha, I guess I'm not great at following the counsel in Jacob 6:12...

 Service with Elder Barnes! (Pluss my glasses ;)

Saturday: June 5th

CRAZY STORY:

Today I was at our gym in our apartment complex and we met this guy named Foster. After talking with him while working out I straight up asked if he was from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and he said yes! (I know a great friend serving in the LBRM!) What?! Haha, he said he couldn't pronounce any of the French street names down there before he moved here haha. He then proceeded to get to know us but expressed disinterest in our message as missionaries, but he still liked us so he asked if we wanted to smoke a joint with him and grab a beer at his bar........ oh gosh, haha! Apparently Louisiana is not much different than Colorado! ;) I learned that even though we all have different lifestyles and standards, I still felt a genuine love and charity for this man. Our Savior Jesus Christ is the example of loving others no matter where they are from, who they are, or what they do... as we strive to follow His example, you will begin to see others through His eyes!

You know me and pink flowers :)

Sunday: June 6th

A little stress, but we got Brandy a ride to church! She really enjoyed the fast and testimony meeting, so I'm glad others get to experience the feelings of peace and comfort as we gather to worship the Lord
