On Monday we got prayed over again-at least this time she gave us a cards for free scholarships at a Bible School in Florida. We also helped the ASL sisters move into our apartment building, let's just say we're gonna have some fun!
On Monday we were eating dinner at a park with a splash pad and I see a little kid go into this container filled with water and put a deflated inflatable pool over his head and I couldn't see his head anymore. Always follow the promptings of the spirit because I felt like we needed to walk down just to make sure I could see his face wasn't covered and when we got there it was stuck over him and he was screaming! Luckily I was able to get it off and he was okay. So always follow promptings!
Tuesday was Zone Conference and I bore my departing testimony, so surreal! The Conference was all about not making things casual but actively worshipping and following Christ. We had an awesome lesson with our new member and she wants to start helping us with lessons!
As we headed home and we got prayed over AGAIN except this time we tried to share a scripture and the lady proceeded to bash us! Luckily the train came and we had to leave because there is no spirit in contention.
Thursday we got caught in the rain and lets just say our umbrellas did nothing lol. Us and our stuff got soaked. After trekking through the rain for a lesson he canceled cause he didn't want to go out in the rain. 😭 But institute was fire! It was all about comparison and remembering that God doesn't compare us to others just our past self so we need to stop comparing ourselves to others and to appreciate our personal growth.
We we saw a cool miracle when we ran into a former when finding and her life just got back on track so she's able to meet again!
I hope you all celebrated free slurpee day, I definitely did! I saw my first dead rat on the side of the street that day so that part was less ideal...
Sunday (my favorite day of the week)! Sadly all of our friends who confirmed for church bailed last minute 👎. But sacrament meeting and relief society was so good! There was a big emphasis on coming home and knowing God's arms are open ready to embrace you, you just have to take those steps back to him.
We had a fabulous dinner with the senior couple here and the other YSA missionaries. The best part of the night was our friend showing up to Cookies and Ice Cream! After our members talked some nonsense they testified of the truthfulness of the gospel and we were able to have a mini lesson with our friend! So it definitely ended as a good Sunday!
Today for pday we are getting groceries and chilling lol
Some other wild stuff happened this week but we'll end it there, lol.
Spiritual Thought:
In the talk, "Wounded"
By Elder Neil L. Andersen, he shares,
"The Apostle Paul said, “We are troubled … yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.” You may be exhausted, but don’t ever give up.
Even with your own painful wounds, you will instinctively reach out to others, trusting in the Savior’s promise: “Whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” The wounded who nurse the wounds of others are God’s angels on earth."
Life can be hard but God is always there for us. As we serve others in those times of trial and struggle, God will be with us and will give us the strength necessary to endure and to do His work.
Talk to you all next week!
