Happy Pioneer Day everyone!
It's kind of tough recounting the week's happenings now. Every week is starting to feel all mushed together. Last week our 2016 Nissan Altima was traded for a 2017 Toyota Rav 4, which is pretty cool. The Rav 4 is pretty awesome, but it looks like a mom car haha.
You can see the new Rav4 in the background there. Only picture I got of it so far.
There are lots of promising people that we are normally able to meet with, but recently the majority of appointments have been falling through, so not a ton of investigator progression happened this week, but again we got to still meet with a good bit of less actives, and slowly but surely they are coming back to church.
We attempted to teach a woman in our branch English, a bit. It didn't go well haha. We don't know even English well enough to teach it haha. "Why does this word sound this way?" I couldn't tell you haha.
Thursday and Friday we got to have interviews with the Hales, they are pretty awesome. Afterwards we had exchanges, and I went with the district leader, Elder Zeagler. There were lots of lessons. It was strange teaching Americans haha.
This week I've studied a bit from Mosiah 4. The whole chapter is pretty awesome but I really like Mosiah 4: 16-25. It talks about basically giving to the poor and needy, and how we should give just as God gives. I suggest ya'll read it. It's pretty sweet. It helps to explain the reason we should pay fast offerings.
2 Nephi 32: 8-9 was shared quite a bit this week. It talks about prayer, and the importance of it. Read this too haha. In verse 9 it says that we should do everything in prayer, and says that doing so will "consecrate thy performance". I know myself that this is true. We can't do anything successfully without prayer and having God involved in the work. I've learned that we shouldn't have any reason to not pray. It will only benefit us, and grow us closer to Heavenly Father. If you don't have a desire to pray, pray to have a desire.
Anyway I am bad at writing, ya'll should tell me what you want to hear more about haha. I love all of you! Have a good day!
