Hey everyone!
This week was a very busy and eventful week for me and sister Blaney. We got a lot done and even found a new person to teach!! His name is Bill, he's such a cool guy. We walked up to his house and he had a 2019 corvet in the driveway, he took off the cover and showed it to us and it looked like it had never been driven so honestly who knows how often he drives it, but yeah it was a very nice car. But anyways, we ended up talking with him and we invited him to church and so yesterday he came to church which was so awesome and he really seemed to enjoy it. We went to second hour with him and so i got to go to my first priesthood/elders quorum class which was a little bit different lol. But yeah I'm so excited to start teaching him and helping him progress in his knowledge of our Savior Jesus Christ and His gospel.
We also met someone who is new to one of our wards, her name is Jamie and she has been a member of the church for about a year now. She is super cute and someone who I hope to be friends with long after my mission is over. Last night we went over to her house and studied come follow me with her. And she told us all sorts of cool stories and experiences she has had in her life. So that was a lot of fun and it was nice to be able to focus on come follow me.
Saturday we went to our relief society presidents home and helped her with a project she had been working on. I believe she's building a planter for her backyard.. I think that's what it was. But that's what the picture below is.
Other than that this week we've just been doing a lotttt of contacting and trying to find people to teach!
Thursday me and my companion just didn't have the best day. It was a long slow day and we just felt like we got nothing done. So we went home and decided to point out all the good things we had done, the "seeds we had planted", and all of the blessings we had seen that day. We ended up writing down a hugeee list and it honestly turned our nights around. We went to bed in a better mood and the next day was soo much better and I honestly think it is because we took the time to count our blessings and see the good in our day. So ever since that night, every night before bed we write down all or as many blessings as we can remember from the day. So if you're ever having a bad day or even on the good days, I would encourage you to sit and write down your blessings because it will totally change your mood and outlook and you will notice how blessed we all really are!
In 1 Nephi, the very first verse it talks about how they had seen many afflictions in the course of their days, well the footnote for afflictions is actually blessings. which is something I had never noticed or wouldn't have ever thought about, but it was a good reminder to think of our afflictions or our hard and troubling times as blessings. Because in the end we will be blessed if we endure our trials well and rely on the Lord for strength and keep having faith that it will all work out and be okay in the end.
