Thursday transfers, more than half the day
Friday christmas mission devotional(6 hours)
Saturday 7 lessons
Sunday church then ohio musical devotional practice, then the actual devotional (8 hours)
Monday leadership training (3 hours)
Tuesday district leader training( 2 hours face timd)
To start off my new companion is elder Watkins from arizona.... he broke my streak from always being the tallest in the district... he has an inch on me... hahaha
Elder watkins is the district leader now.... meetings galor ... but its very nessisary and bery spiritually uplifting,
Oh for transfers we put four bikes and 1 persons lugage in one car...getting it out was easy compared to how long it took to get it all in....hahaha
So basically this week i went from i havent driven in almost three months to i drove about 500 miles this week. I miss driving a little bit. But man i didnt realized i sped that much when i was driving back home....
I wish you all could of been there, i got to sing in the christmas devotional and the second councelor to the mission president spoke and we had so many special musical preformances. It was just amazing, the spirit was so strong. Singing is truely a way to invite the spirit, and if you cant sing dont worry, just stand next to the one who thinks they can but in reality none of us can... theres a talk that says something to the extent "god needs every voice in a choir" you even need the people who just flip the pages for the piano player.... but the is only one of those... everyone else sisngs, and even the page flipper does.... is it clear yet that i am trying to tell you to sing, if it isnt then your a little blind cause i just state my point.... hahahaha
Really i wish you could of been at all of my meetings because the joy and christ love was being so manifested there. But reallity thr christmas devotional would of been the only one that directly relates to you
Thats the majority of my week.
By the way elder watkins is from arizona, if you were wondering. He has also only been out 6 miunths... make fun of him because he got out of train which is first two transfer or twelve week and he is on month 7 and still in 12 week.... he has been training or follow up training ever since he got out of training....hahaha.... i lauph but its probabky gonna be me...
This week was hard because as of now no investigator of the three who are on date are gonna make their date... one who i really like because they are amazing called us and said she wasnt ready to join the church and that we arnt allowed to come over that night and hung up.. of course ehat do missionaries do... we go stait over.... she thought she was being excomunicated from a church they are not even appart of, because she isnt ready to be babtized yet.... long conversation short she is back on track...
Our area we are just comstantly teaching, we are here then we are there... it is crazy with meetings and lesson.. i mean its not a bad thing nut i do miss a little bit of the out doors on somedays being cooped up all day... but the progress were making we will be set this transfer.
Spiritual thought
People want to sin and repent latter " here is a bottle of advil take them all at once.... people who sin who sinned before are being married in the temple why cant i.... take all the pills in the advil at once, it will be fun, m they will call and ambulence and youll get to ride in an ambulance, it will be loads of fun... you might even get to stsy the night in the hospital, it will be loads of fun... why wont you take the pills?" -brad willcox
Sin looka good but it is a hot plate you touch and it will take time to heal, that like taking a bottle of advil at once will need a lot of time to feel better. And there will be scars. I know a lot who read this look a round at what other have done or what others have... look at yourself! Christ loves you, you have a smile, you can breathe, you dont rely on anything daily(drugs/coffie). You dont have to care for kids who you werent prepared for(i just imagine my neoghbor reading that and saying you never will be ready. But bare with me) no deathly deases. You probably have the problem of decieding what to eat tonight mwhen others are deciding if they can eat on saterday or sunday this week)
Love yall
Smile bigger, someone just smiled at you
