Well goodness, I’ve been out a year, but who’s counting? Well, I’m pretty sure my mom is at least (yes, she is!)! Ha ha. It’s been such an amazing year here in the mission field and I’m grateful for the chance that each and everyone of us has to serve our Heavenly Father!
We’ve been working really hard here and to be honest, this week has been quite disappointing - a lot of rejections. But we also found two families that seem to be so prepared to receive the gospel. It’s a pretty funny story. We were contacting and we came up to a house that was tiny and basically made of sheet metal. The family told us we could come in and so we sat down and starting talking with them. In minutes the brother pulled out a joint (this is the first time this has happened to me on my mission) and started smoking it. I think he got a little hungry, so he invited us to eat dinner with them, which was awesome and so dang nice of them. Anyway, we ate dinner with them and we went back about two days later and they had read the pamphlets that we gave them and we could see the desire that they had to change. What a blessing that was!
Anyway, I know that life isn’t always easy, but my goodness, when we do all that we can we surely will receive the help of the Lord. I know that because I have seen it so dang many times here in the mission. And I sure have felt my Savior’s love for me and for each and every single one of his children. I know that He loves us and that He gave us the gospel so that we could learn and grow and return and live with him again! I love you all so much and hope you have such an amazing week!
