Straight fire

June 3, 2019

Let's see. We played volleyball today and got food and now we are chillin for a while. Then we have a baptism to go to and then FHE. After that it's back to the flat to study and sleep.

I have been trying to focus on my studies more lately.  I typically do white handbook and Preach My Gospel to start, usually focusing on skills I need to work on. Then I do Book of Mormon reading, and a conference talk or two. And after that I usually do a lot of Bible study or just questions that I have.

I have probably expanded my Bible knowledge most of anything being here. Just because of how much push back we get. It is pretty bad but I can prove to people now with scriptures most points they try to bring up.

Another really cool thing that is straight fire is the gospel library. If you go to topics and then gospel topics. Good stuff there. 

Moves are coming at the end of this week so we are really busy. Elder Hoaldridge will be back around so that is nice.

This mission really is the best.  I am so blessed. Really been seeing the Lord's hand in all things. That has been one of the biggest things I have noticed.

Love you all. Have a great week.

Brother Myles takes care of the missionaries. He's the best. Bought us pizzas and is always giving us smoothies.

Always worth it...no exceptions

May 27, 2019

 Thinking a lot right now but not really sure what. Can't seem to think of many things that we did this week. Time is kind of just going and I am really working which is good. Really really being stretched. I just feel like so much more change should be happening around me. I know that starts with me and me changing which is why I am working so hard for it. Just feel a bit stuck and just want so badly for everyone to be doing well even though it doesn't always happen. 

 Reading a lot in the scriptures about people and trying to think what was going thru their heads, what would I do if I were in that situation. Really just trying to figure out ways that I can be better. 

 This work is the best thing ever and it is the way that all people can be truly happy. It takes skills to be able to explain that to people or to get people to even listen to that. It takes a lot of hard work. But at the end of the day it's still not you doing anything or your work. You just have to be humble enough to follow and to strive your best to be as sharp as you can. 

My mind is caught up constantly with the well being of people. With where they are at. I know that He has them covered but they still have to choose to take it.That is where we come in. Missionaries, people called of God to be a personal representative of our Lord and Savior. It was never easy for him and its not always going to be now for any of us but that doesn't mean it is not worth it. That is something that I have been thinking on and what I am still trying to figure out. 

What I have figured out is it is always worth it to follow God. Always, no exceptions. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to share that with others. Having the commission that he has given to me personally and to all to do what he wants done, to say what he wants said, to be a living modern witness in word and deed of the divinity of his great and marvelous latter day work. 

I love you all, sorry I ramble a lot, just kind of a wee look into me.

I was bored haha
