This week was another great one to be a
missionary.
So every Monday at the MTC they bring in fast
food from the places at BYU. Its always a great time. This last week it was
Taco Bell! It was a pleasant surprise. So after dinner every night we have
class. I want to start by saying how much I love my district. They build me up
so much and help me feel the spirit a ton. So on Monday we were having a good
class, we all like to talk and have a good time but know when to be serious so
it works out very nicely. Anyway we go down to say prayer and right in the
middle of prayer we hear this loud noise. Needless to say the prayer was ended
very shortly after. Turns out Elder Card could not hold in his taco bell! It
was a great way to start this week. Lots of laughs to say the very least.
We had a devotional I really liked this week.
Elder and Sister Gay came to speak to us. Favorite quote from it " You
have the power to astonish the world!" I think that applies to everyone.
It picked me up a lot this week to think back on that. I know that as we try
our best and give everything all that we have that this statement really can
change lives. So don't forget it, the little things that you do can change the
world for the better.
A highlight from class this week was during
the grind. The Grind is Wednesday to Saturday. Lots and lots of things to learn
and even more opportunities to teach. It’s actually very fun and makes me work
for sure, so that’s good. Anyway my teacher said that you can boil all
principles of the gospel down to love! She said this at a time where all of us in
the district were struggling a bit with the Chinese. I’m very thankful for my
teachers here. They are all very inspired and know just what to do when we or
really I need help.
Trying to focus on loving this coming week. I
know that language and everything else will come as I learn to truly love those
who I am and will be serving. The love that keeps me going everyday is the love
of our Savior. I’m so very thankful for Him!
My invite for the week is to pray for help
with the things that you need. I know that as you do your part you will be
blessed beyond what you can think.
Saturday was my last night as the service
coordinator person. So that is kind of a bummer but I’m happy to serve wherever
and however the presidency needs me to. I learned a lot during the past few
weeks. A big one is that many hands make light work. With our zone we were able
to turn the gym into a conference center in about 30 minutes. Pretty cool if
you ask me. So I was asked to be the district leader this week.The older elders who got here three weeks before us left. Sad times.
We have played volleyball more this week to
help bring the zone closer together. The newer missionaries have grown on me a
ton! They are all super great and have positive attitudes all the time. I am thankful
for their examples and the chance to spend time with them. Very thankful for
the opportunity that I have to serve the Lord and be a part of this great work!!!
I love you all so much and I’m thankful for all the support:) have a great week
