Well hello everyone!! This week was absolutely insane so let's get right into it!
Started off by saying goodbye to Elders Davis, Olson and Jensen. That was tough, they are all awesome missionaries and I'm gonna miss serving with them for sure!
Got my new companion, Elder Gross (pronounced Graws). He is from Mountain View, Wyoming! He grew up on a ranch and loved it and he has been super fun to work with so far!
He has been out just a couple months longer than me so he has lots of experience under his belt and he speaks just a little spanish so that has been fun with our friends who speak spanish.
We had tons of awesome lessons this week. I could write for days about what happened but I'll keep it short! We taught the Peruvian family of 4, Dolores, Elizabeth and lots of members! They all went pretty well. Elder Gross and I have started to be unified. It'll take time but it'll be great!
We had an amazing miracle. We had 8 people we are teaching come to church this week. It was crazy! The Peruvian family came, Elizabeth and her two sons and our friend Paula who we just met this week. It was crazy helping them meet members and make connections. It all worked out and they all loved it! I am super excited to keep working with all these individuals!
One thing that has been on my mind as of late is faith. One train of thought I've had is that if we aren't doing something to grow our faith. Our faith will decrease. We can never have our faith at a stand still it always will be increasing or decreasing. Even if it is only increasing a little bit or decreasing by a little bit it is still happening. That was cool for me to realize, it takes effort and work to grow faith. Some of the best ways to do it are to read the scriptures, pray and keep the commandments. When I've done these things I have seen changes in me that have helped me come closer to Christ and it has made me happy!
Anyways, Love you all!
(Sorry I don't have any pics, I'll try to get some for next time!)
