Gung ho everyone!
Week 5 is in the bag and boy was it busy. Some days I feel like I don’t have enough time to get everything done that I need, but I’ve learned that the Spirit and improvement come on the move! Diligence and work opens those doors for us. Plus it makes the weeks fly by. Speaking of that, I have about 3 weeks of home MTC left. If our training session had not gotten changed to 9 weeks I would’ve been done by now because of some weird scheduling and timing. Crazy.
I still haven’t heard anything about where I’m headed though. No reassignment yet, but also no visa or flight plans to Ethiopia. I guess Church Travel likes to live on the edge and keep us on our toes. Understandably though, especially during these circumstances. More updates on that as they come!
The week was fairly normal so I’ll just give a brief rundown of each day:
Sunday: Super Bowl food. Also shoutout to The Weeknd who performed
at halftime and apparently is Ethiopian and speaks fluent Amharic. Maybe I’ll
reach out to him and see what I can do...
Monday: I started doing Zoom on a better computer which made classes so much better.
Tuesday: We had our first MTC workshop since the first week and it was awesome! The MTC president and his wife went over the Book of Mormon and the role it plays in our calling! Then that night Nate Wilkes invited Elder Probst and I over for some home-made calzones.
Wednesday: Taught another 45 minute lesson to Wendim Abebe. I’m not sure exactly how it went. It felt better in some aspects and worse in others. Also congrats to Sarah Davis who opened her call that night and was assigned to the Baltic Mission, Russian speaking!
Thursday: Our Internet died and I missed half of class. It ended up being ok though because they barely went over anything.
Friday ties into my spiritual thought for the week! My Mom and I went out for dinner at SuperChix in AF (which is bomb by the way I recommend it) and an older gentleman came up and paid for us because he saw my tags! Anyways after we finished eating we went to go talk to them a bit and this man’s wife shared her conversion story and her testimony of the power of testimonies! She also said this: “When times get tough, never doubt for one second that a miracle is just around the corner.” I loved that and I wanted to share! In our trials, as we strive to do everything we are supposed to and follow the Savior, we should expect nothing less than miracles in our lives! I testify that faith brings power.
This one was a little bit longer sorry!
