Things I hate, I love

Days fly by even when we have to be inside a lot haha. I learned a lot through study this week. We email our mission presidents once every other week and just kind of give him a run down on what's been going on and I asked him some questions and like a teacher would he didn't really tell me the answer but he did tell me where I could find it. So I spent a considerable amount of time studying patience. Elder Uchtdorfs "Continue in Patience" is an amazing talk by the way. But I studied mostly for myself and also a little for what's going on as far as missions go right now. I'm learning more and more about how to have effective studying and I enjoy it. Scriptures are pretty sweet. I also began to read saints and its intense haha. Lays it all out. But it has helped me grow my testimony more for the restoration of the church and I love it. Joseph Smith is an amazing guy haha I'd like to say I could handle hate like that but I don't think I could. It also makes me ask myself why the heck I am whining haha. So many amazing people brought this Gospel forth for us and I am forever grateful for them. 

      Other than that it is still a lot of the same old :) weed whacking and mowing huge pastors and cleaning up after the horses. Makes me appreciate the gift of education and not having to do this for the rest of my life. 

     My comp is a great dude and some super weird dramatic stuff happened in our district council which is so annoying. People are so interesting and people love attention haha. All that I'm gonna say. 

     We had a youth devotional for one of our wards that seriously rocked. Everyone participated and accepted out challenges and we made awesome comments. I finally got to meet some more people in the ward! I seriously can't wait for church to start up! It was funny, the audio doesnt work a lot of the times when you screen share videos on Zoom so my comp decided to read out the whole "a man without eloquence" video in his best Brigham Young voice. It made me cringe pretty hard hahaha but hes a stud for trying. 

     We had a BBQ with a way fun family that have crazy kids that remind me a ton of my nephew Gabe. Made me miss the little guy like crazy. But we stole some rocks from the church and painted them with Bible verses on them with the kids then left them on peoples doorsteps it was a good time. 

     We set up these ads on Facebook listing us as free service to try and just get out and help more people. This lady asked us to help pack up her dance studio. Because of changes in the family life she had to close it down and she was so sad but extremely grateful. After we moved everything she let us take some things if we wanted so I grabbed some pins that were from winning different competitions and put them on my hat haha. She then shared her story with us and asked us if she could say a prayer before we left. Shes straight gold but shes leaving so hopefully she is recieved by the missionaries well wherever she goes.  :)

     We met with this super catholic guy at sonic and all he wanted to know is if the sisters in our mission were "hot" so that was awesome to get excited about talking to someone for nothing haha but hey the sisters have an in if they want to try. We asked if he had any questions and he told us we didn't know enough for him to ask us questions and asked for our mission presidents number lmao. Hes probably right if hes talking about me but my comp is a freaking scripture smart dude. 

     A lot of things really helped my testimony grow this week. Things I hate have been turning into things I love and things I used to love from home are turning into things I hate. I seriously wasted so much of my time. I hope you guys are anxiously engaged in a good cause cuz I know I rarely was. LOVE YOU ALL HAVE AN AMAZING WEEK!
