Thank yall for all the love and support you give me every week it really means alot to me to have everyone behind me while I'm doing the work!
In this week:- Temple- Miracles - Finessing our zone!!!- cool family - ward missionarys- spiritual thought
So we had the opportunity to go to the bountiful temple again this past week and we were invited by our mission president to do initiatories. Let me tell yall that was the first time I had done it since I did it for myself and it is such an amazing experience to go throught and relearn and rehear all the blessings we are promised in the temple. I would encourage all of you to go do initiatories in the temple the next time you go.
We had 2 huge miracles this week1 - we had a lesson with with some of our friends the wife had been taught everything and her husband who works alot hadn't been taught, we walked in and they both said they wanted to be baptized and now both of them are on date for june 4th 🎤2 - we had a lesson with some other Friends and they had previously said they had a problem with the word of wisdom and we walked in today and they said yeah so we believe that the word of wisdom is from god and so it's good to follow so we have been following it, and now they are praying to see if they want to be baptized! Miricales are real and the lords hand is always present in our work!
So our zone this transfer is doing a survivor theme challenge and so we do missionary work related challenges and which ever half of the zone losses they vote a companionship out for the rest of the transfer. Well we got chosen to go into a sudden death challenge with the AP'S to see who can get the most lessons after pday ends and so we decided to do exchanges with 2 other elders and blitz our area, so we are kind of finessing the system to get more lessons but we have 0 planned so we will see how it goes lol, I'll update yall in the next letter.
So we met this super fun family in our area it's just a husband and wife, they are young and are members but inactive. We met them just walking around and they actually have a big piece of land with horses and a pig, so that's super cool for this area of utah, and so we asked if we could do some work for them and we set a day to come back and so we went this past Saturday I think and dug out some garden beds for them and I got some pretty gnarly blisters but thats what I live for. They fed us shrimp and burgers from his wife dads farm and they were so good. We are going back to do some more service and he's going to make us all burgers so we are super excited.
So we were going to knock a door of one of the people we are teaching and they pulled into the driveway and started a call in the car so we saw a garage door open so we knocked the door. Ended up he just had surgery and needed some heavy things picked up so we helped him out. And turns out he is a super ward missionary and was talking with a fellow shipping the people we are teaching and so it was super cool. Keep being friends to everyone and sharing the light of christ.
Spiritual thought: This week is in the book of mormon from Mosiah chapter 27, this chapter talks about alma the younger and 4 sons of mosiah seek to destroy the church but recognize their wicked ways after a visit from and angel. They repent and become some of the best missionaries in the whole book of mormon and just go around preaching the gospel and bring people unto him. I would encourage everyone to read this chapter tonight.
So blisters lol, we had a soccer night and just wore Van's but they are a tiny bit small and so I got two massive blisters one on each little toe lol sot hose very painful for a couple days but it's fun now and then some big ones on my hands lol from shoveling rock hard ground lol but hopefully I'll get some calluses and not having super smooth hands haha
Also my companion and I embroidered sweatshirts with a flame for this transfer cause it's called the fire transfer, so I'll include a picture
