Hi everyone,
This felt like the fastest week on the mission! Time just flew by. Last week we played Monopoly on P-Day for my first time. Yeah...it's not that fun haha.
On Tuesday we had a slightly different district meeting while in Clovis. Instead of practicing something from doing role-plays, Elder Zeagler paired us up with another Elder and go knock doors for half an hour. I went with Elder Sealy, who is serving his last transfer in the Clovis 2nd ward. We talked to people, they were all pretty disinterested, but what I really learned from that, is that everything is fine. I always had this fear (and still do) about knocking doors and talking to random people. But I've realized this week that I came out of that unscathed. That total strangers aren't anything I should be really worried about. I still don't really enjoy knocking but at least I dislike it less haha.
That evening we ended up running into a lady who works at ENMU who helped set us up good service opportunities where we can meet a lot of people, as well as permission to proselyte on campus! Sadly though that doesn't do a whole lot for the Spanish-speaking area, but hey it's another way to go finding!
I finally got my Tiwi card (a card that tracks your driving)! Which means I can finally drive. It was kinda freaky driving again after not doing so after 3 months, but I adjusted quickly to driving again.
We gave another two blessings this week. It's kind of catching me by surprise by how often we do them haha. Speaking of blessings though, I was surprised to find just how helpful a patriarchal blessing is! It really helped me this week to see an end goal, to have kind of an idea of what is ahead. It helped me have a daily drive to be faithful and do what is right at all times. Many times we've heard the recommendation to read our patriarchal blessing daily, and I can see why. It is definitely a daily motivation. I urge everyone who does not have one, to get one. And all those who do have one, to read it often. It really is not difficult and spend 5 to 10 minutes reading it, so go do it!
On Friday our investigator's dog bit me haha. I'm doing alright though and it's just gonna leave a scar. The dog was chained to a tree and I didn't think I was in range and I wasn't being careful. The dog didn't puncture though my slacks and sock though, so it was basically just scratched up. I'm all good though! Not dead haha. The following video has my wound in it, you have been warned.
Sorry for the crazy long email. That's about all the stuff that happened this week that is note-worthy! Have a good one, everyone! Hasta proxima semana!
Elder Lewis
