So y’all probably don't remember this but sometime ago I talked about how in my journal I accidently skipped two pages because they stuck together. We'll it happened again. So when they say learn about the past so it doesn't repeat, they are wrong. It'll repeat no matter what.
That's why we need the Lord's help to change. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Here are the highlights:
Dodgeball - so we have these training meetings and they always try to make them fun so we got to play dodgeball and so that was super fun.
Elder Schow b-day - That was on Wednesday and it was super fun. I made brownies and egg rolls and arroz con gandules for lunch before district council and we all had fun and the sisters made a cake and decorated it.
Destiny's apartment complex- I say apartment complex because she invites everyone and so we had like 4 or 5 random children there for our lesson. I'm still not the best at teaching children but we had a pretty good lesson on praying for peace and safety. The others joined in and answered some of our questions so it was pretty awesome.
Splits - not really, but we took a youth with us to a lesson with Miles. We talked about Fasting and he shared his testimony on Fasting for others and remembering the reason why we are giving up food. Isaiah 58:6-9 is also pretty fire.
Mission Devotional - we had an awesome mission devotional this week and I loved all the speakers. One thing I wanted to share that I hope you can all feel was this Sister who said she struggled coming out on a mission and she heard God say, "If I have asked you to do this, I will help you with it."
I hope you can all have a personal testimony of that with whatever you're doing to follow Christ.
Miracle this week - the one I'm going to share didn't actually happen this week but I heard about it this week. So a few weeks ago I gave a blessing to this less active who was hurting real bad. (I didn't know this then but apparently ER room bad if it didn't change) and so I gave him a blessing and blessed him that his arm would stop hurting so he could sleep because that's what he needed. But I told him that it was based on his faith.
So this Sunday he came since the beginning of Covid I think, and told me that that night he hurt a lot and couldn't sleep, then remembered what I said and prayed and asked God for help and his arm stopped hurting that night and since has been pretty manageable.
It was super cool hearing that
Transfers - so on Saturday for lunch we went to the Mongolian Grill and got fortune cookies. And mine said, "A fun social event is in your near future. Be outgoing."
That night we got the transfer text and Elder Albright is leaving the area and I'm staying. So we are going to transfers which is kind of a social event so that was crazy. I won't know my new comp til Wednesday but he isn't a trainee so that'll be new. Y'all will have to wait til next week to find out.
For the spiritual thought I just wanted to share an experience I had this week. We were talking with our Bishop and asking him questions and he explained how much work and time he puts into being a Bishop and how sometimes it can be hard balancing his family, church service, and work.
It made me realize how much Bishops sacrifice and made me appreciate them more. So I wanted to challenge you all to think about someone in your life who sacrifices for you and may not be recognized for it often and tell them thanks. Whether it be a Bishop, your parents, teachers, or our Heavenly Father.
Let them know that you care about them because they care about you.
I love you all and I hope you have a fantastic week!!!
