Good morning, everyone! It has been one of those good difficult weeks. Honestly it was a hard one but I've learned a lot and I feel like my perspective has changed for the better.
With a lack of things to do, we've been trying to keep things fun by having some district activities every week. They've evolved as time has gone on and this week's might have been the best. The church here is massive so we've been utilizing that space to play hide and seek. The companionships hiding do their online work while one companionship is looking for the others.
Our mission had a Zoom visit from the man himself Tad R. Callister. He wrote "The Infinite Atonement" and "A Case for the Book of Mormon" which I'm sure you may have heard of. We have been so blessed to have all these different speakers take time to minister to our mission. He talked us through the Plan of Salvation and one thing I like that he said was "The difference between a creation and a child is that a creation can never become like it's creator, but a child can grow up to be like it's parent." We really are children of God!
We went bowling as a mission this week for our half p-day. I was bowling like garbage for the first half and then somehow, I kicked into overdrive with a turkey and I ended up getting the highest score in the mission. If you want to see an ESPN type highlight, send me a message haha.
We did some service at the church shredding old financial documents. My tiny paper shredder kept overheating so I mostly just took out staples and sorted. It was actually pretty soothing.
We've seen some more teaching success this week! Although he's not in our mission boundaries, we have been talking to a guy from Burundi who said he wanted to join the church after we sent him the PDF of the Restoration pamphlet. We called a Facebook referral we got named Abdi and he is so cool! He's super positive and kind and wants to learn about Jesus Christ. We're excited to work with him.
I've been thinking a lot about the phrase "charity never faileth" this week. A pure, genuine love for Christ will never let us down. It will always give us the hope and comfort that we need in this world of letdowns. Cleave or cling unto charity and you will find a greater light in your life!
Transfers are tomorrow. Elder Kearl and I are separating. I'll talk more about it next week. Thank you all!
