Hey! As some of you may know, I'm coming home soon, pretty crazy. So the last email will be on Thursday
Moving - we switched apartments and now I'm back at the Trinity, except instead of being in a studio we now have a huge one bedroom, one bath. It's crazy to think it costs less and it's pretty nice.
Blessings - Moving took a lot longer than we expected and so we weren't able to plan our day. So we were trying to figure out what we should do when we got a call to give a missionary a blessing. So we did that, then got a call to give a blessing at the children's hospital. Super cool story of this family and their daughter. So cool that God had made us free and in the area to help those people
Mos - we finally got to talk to him again! He is still planning on being baptized in Dec and coming back in Oct. We'll have a longer talk with him next week
Chess - we met with Grant again and played chess. Same dude as week 77. Asked him a lot more questions about why he left the church and found out he hasn't been reading scriptures or praying, so that about sums it up. But I almost won him this time and got out of 2 very close calls before losing.
Hanni - had another lesson with Hanni and it didn't go as planned but we were able to help her feel some peace. Then she came to church and loved it! She made instant friends with some members and is planning on going to so many activities. She's awesome.
Caitlin - Elder Suchomel recommended we take her to the see the temple so we did. We talked a lot about why we have them and what they do for us. Since then she keeps talking about how much peace she's felt and how she wants to go again. Then on Friday she got surgery and was all drugged up when she came to church which was funny
Burned hand - we made a skookie, skillet cookie, and Elder Nuzman went to grab it with a oven mitt and a towel and someone the heat didn't ruin either of them but went straight to his hand and gave him a gnarly second degree burn. We went out at midnight, got some burn cream and now he just wraps his hand. It was a fun night
Spiritual thought - 1 Corinthians 3:7-8
So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
This is similar to what I shared for my departing testimony, but it talks about how we can work hard and do our best, but in the end it's God who gives us the miracles. And how at times even if our efforts don't seem to be working God will give us miracles so long as we are being faithful.
So if you're having a hard time at the moment, just know that as you continue to be faithful, God will give you the miracles you need.
I've seen it on my mission and I know it to be true. I love you all and I'll see you soon
