Spiritual thought:
This week I have been studying hope. And I wanted to share this quote. "Hope is never lost. If the miracles do not come soon or fully or seemingly at all, remember the Saviors own anguished example: if the bitter cup does not pass, drink it and be strong, trusting in happier days ahead." I love this because there's been so many times in my life I have felt like there was too much, and that I couldn't keep going. I know that our Savior has already suffered for us so that he can run to our aid. He knows us. He knows our pains, our sorrows, and our weaknesses. As we lean on him we will be able to make it through life's challenges. I promises as you do so you will find those happier days ahead.
Hey all happy fourth!
This week was really good. We had exchanges which was so awesome. I learned alot. I was companions with the Spanish sisters so I got to go to Spanish lessons and it was cool to see what all I could understand. Also I had the best chicken and rice I've ever had from a Mexican Sister here. President might put us with spanish companions so that would be cool.
We were knocking doors one day and we found this lady who just got home from her sons funeral. He was LDS and she said it was the most welcome she had ever felt in a church before. We were able to teach her and she wanted us to come back. It was really inspired.
We also got a new investigator. She has been reading the Book of Mormon and praying everyday since February! She was at church on Sunday and we are going to start teaching her next Sunday.
We also had a lesson at our bishops Sunday. He referred us to a lady who just moved in. They were at church Sunday and the lesson we had at our bishops was so spiritual. We are going back tomorrow and I'm so excited.
This week felt slower but we had 3 people at church which is progress, and found some pretty solid people.The work is finally starting to pick up.
Also my address will be changing soon so I'll update it when it does. Haha maybe it will be more secure than the mission office. Luckily only my gift card in my package was stolen.
Sorry this email is so scattered. I didnt write alot in my journal this week and I don't remember alot. I hope you all have a wonderful fourth of July. Stay safe. Love you all!
