Everyone here in Missouri says have a blessed day instead of have a good day and it's my new favorite thing!!!
A week of MIRACLES, but honestly what week isn't full of miracles? We had the opportunity to continue teaching two of our African friends this week and WOW such spirit-filled lessons!! They had tons of questions, some that we were glad to answer and some we didn't know, but the good news of the gospel is that we don't need to know everything as long as we have faith that through Christ everything will work out!!
This week my comp was sick, not Corona don't you worry guys, but I spent a few mornings studying by myself for hours. It was a little lonely but made me SO GRATEFUL to have a companion and to be able to go outside our apartment normally, even if it's only to drive to the park and contact through Facebook there. The change of scenery really is so nice! Also side note the Missouri scenery is STUNNING!!! I've never seen so much green,vibrant green, in my whole life and I LOVE it!!!!! One upside to all my personal studying this week was that I really got a chance to dive deep in the Come Follow Me in Alma when he is talking to his son Coriantum. Coriantum had made mistakes, like we all do, but after some loving correction his father sent him out to preach the word again! We don't need to be perfect, we're not expected to, but as long as we're continually repenting and trying to become more Christlike, He will use us to help others learn about the gospel!!! What a comfort cause I am way far from perfect but if Christ can use me to help someone else I'm glad to try!!
We also got to do lots of service later this week, mainly helping a family move. The family isn't members but they have a YSA daughter who doesn't live with them that was baptized a year and a half ago and the family was MAD. They didn't like it at all and she had actually moved in with them again because of corona, but had moved out again a few weeks ago because it was just too contentious. She got the missionaries to come help load the truck and then basically our whole district helped unload the truck Friday, and they were so happy about it they asked us to come by saturday and bought us pizza and invited us to come back for a bbq once they get everything set up!!! Service truly changes people's hearts!!!!!!!
Hope you all have a BLESSED week and see God's hand in your life through the little things like making homemade tortillas with a Mexican (my comp is thee best!!), pretty thunderstorms, inspired answers through friends, and blowing big dish soap bubbles!!
Te amoooo
