Week 46. Back on CarπŸš—πŸ˜Ž

 Hello everyone! This week has been a blast! For all of you who don't know I'm now in Blaine and it's amazing up here. I've walked to Canada and met a ton of people in the short time I've been here. It's awesome. Here are the highlights:


Temple trip -  on Tuesday I went to the temple for the first time in 10 months. It was so amazing and such a blessing. I encourage all who are able to go as often as you can because it's so awesome. 

Transfer Day - the day we've all been waiting for. It was a little bit different with the new President and he had us stand in front for everyone to see. My new comp is Elder Hansen and he's awesome. 8 months out but one of the best missionaries I know. It's going to be a fun 6 weeks. 

Jacob - so my first night in the new area we called the district and as a joke one of the Elders challenged me to sleep in pros(proselyting clothes) and promised that we'd find a friend the next day. Literally the next morning we get a referral and meet Jacob. He's struggling with an addiction and is hoping getting a better relationship with Christ will help him overcome it. We had a really good lesson and almost got him to church. So that was pretty cool. 

DC - first one as DL and I had a great idea, #HolyGhost, but the execution could've been better, #beingHuman. I still feel like it went pretty well and it's going to be pretty awesome. 5 companionships, 10 people, we could play volleyball all by ourselves. 

Smith's - awesome Family, pretty funny, and apparently had a relation to someone who served with my dad. Small world

Today - so we got to the church at 10 for volleyball and we could all definitely be a bit better. But that's okay. Still had a ton of fun. Then we got lunch and had a mini miracle. They accidentally made me the wrong sandwich and so they gave me that one and my original order. I was so full it was awesome. 

Spiritual thought - miracles. They are everywhere. Big and small, little and large. But all very meaningful and awesome. Sometimes we just don't see it. 
I love how Alma puts it in chapter 30, verse 44
" all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator."
God is a God of miracles and every day we have, every breath we take is a miracle and a gift from Him. I challenge y'all to look for them this week cause they are everywhere and they are awesome! Have a good week
