Hello friends and family!
Well it is perfect napping weather right now with the cloudy skies, rain, and the cold wind. Too bad I can not nap. My exhaustion level is high at this point in my mission as well as for my companion so if we are sitting doing nothing for a few minutes both of us will have fallen asleep. #missionprobs
It was an eventful week for us but at the same time a really good week. A lot better then the last few weeks have been. On Wednesday Elder Zohner came on exchange with me and Elder Robert to be with Elder Taleni. Elder Zohner is my best bud on mission hands down so it was nice to be with him for the day. Thursday is what I called our "problem fixing day". Elder Robert and I got a message from a Elder in the zone saying that his companion was really angry at him and the Elder did not know why. His companion was not going out and was not talking to him. With that type of situation Elder Robert and I went quickly to that apartment. And everything is good now. Shortly after returning we met with the Elders that serve in the same ward as us to fix their problem. This one they accidentally offended a old fante woman which is not a good thing at all. So Elder Robert and I went to help the situation. Then Friday we spent the day at various medical clinics for a sister missionary in the zone. During the time we were sitting and waiting was prime power nap situations that I took.
Our area was slow moving but now is picking up again which I am very happy about. Walking around the area with no people to teach is discouraging but I am happy to know that their are people in our area that are being prepared in their various ways to hear the message of the restored gospel. Just have to be prayerful and follow the spirit and you will find them. There was some time that I was thinking about things that helped me at the beginning of my mission to help me keep pushing forward... one of those things is the church hymns. Never did I take time before to actually read and understand what is being sung about until my mission. The second was a scripture that is in Mosiah 28:3 that is speaking about the sons of Mosiah wanting to go and preach the gospel to the Lamanites.
"Now they were desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul should perish; yea, even the very thoughts that any soul should endure endless torment did cause them to quake and tremble."
It is in my thoughts often and what pushes me to do more as a missionary. I do not let people pass me by or drop investigators because I know the happiness that the gospel will bring and I know what is to come.
Happy Valentines day to you all! Or as I put it in our zone meeting last week "Zone leader appreciation day"
