Well this week was a good week! I don't have a ton of time
today because it's an abnormally crazy P-day, and P-day's are crazy enough!
Haha!
It was kind of a slow week because unfortunately Sister
Morones is not getting better. She's such a trooper and wants to be out working
all of the time, but with how she's been feeling it's not always possible. We
found out today that she will most likely be going home next week when
transfers end. :( I'm really, really sad about that. Killing companions is my
least favorite thing. Not fun to say goodbye. But everything will
work out. For some reason Sister Morones needs to be home in Arizona right now.
We were able to meet with a lot of members this week which
was awesome! Our ward is really trying to give their all to hasten the work.
It's so exciting to be a part of that. We were able to meet with the X family, the Y, the Z's, the G, and a few others! Some of my
favoritest people. :) We're really trying to get the ward excited about
missionary work.
The lesson that we had with the X's was particularly
good. V was there, and although we didn't teach directly to him, and he's
still not interested, I'm sure that he felt the spirit. We taught about
having a Christ-Centered life, and how that is what brings us true happiness.
We shared the Mormon Message "Look to the Light." It may just be my
all-time favorite Mormon Message. You should watch it. :) It was great because
the family really opened up and shared their experiences and testimonies of how
Christ has been there for them when they've needed Him. It was so powerful. I
loved it!
We also started our 40-day fast yesterday, and I'm really
excited to see where that goes. After all in Ontario when they did the 40-day
fast we found C, so who knows what will happen! :) There's a lot of
potential in this area...but not really anyone progressing. So we're still
working on finding those that are ready!
Our ward had a Spud Night last Saturday which was
super-duper fun! We ate baked potatoes and made race cars out of spuds! Then we
had races! It was a blast! This next Sunday we have a musical fireside coming
up. We're doing our best to invite everyone! It's going to be such a good
opportunity to get people to come to the church and feel the spirit. I'm
really excited for it!
This week I've been learning a lot more about setting
personal goals and relying on the Lord. We are here on this earth to progress,
and to become better people each day. Whenever I've thought of that it seems
terribly overwhelming, but I've been learning that we can become more
Christ-like each day if we make a conscious effort to do so. I've been learning
things about myself that I can improve on, and I've been seeing the hand of the
Lord give me experiences to help me with those things. Sometimes it's hard to
work on your weaknesses, but I feel like it helps me get to know the Savior
more. Something that is cool to do is to look in Preach My Gospel at
the Christlike attributes there is a little quiz at the end of the chapter that
you can take so you can see a Christlike attribute you can work on. Then in the
chapter it gives you a bunch of material that you can study for that attribute!
It's really helped me to improve each day. It's been amazing to see the Savior
help me with these things, and I know it can be the same for you! :)
