This week was an adventure! We went Pomegranate hunting
Monday night during FHE for our dinner with our favorite person Eliza! And I
got to use a head lamp!
We had an awesome lesson and got to talk to some
members who recently started coming back to church and help them understand how
they can stay strong right now! It's amazing how much love we are able to have
for God's children!
Our member Brandi has become such a good friend and we have
been helping her make her way back to church and she's been coming for the last
3 weeks! She's doing awesome! We have been talking to her a lot about what we
call CPR for the soul! It stands for church, prayer and reading. We know some
people that have been feeling down because they don't feel like they are doing
"enough" when we see the things they are doing and are blown away by
their progress. Really the only thing they need to worry about at this moment
is making sure they are doing CPR and everything else will come together.
Being
a part of the church doesn't mean you are perfect. Being part of the church
means we are imperfect people trying to get better and come closer to our
Father in Heaven! It's the simple things that will help us on our path to
Heavenly Father and make us happy! Sometimes we see other people and get caught
up in the details and look down on ourselves. I love sharing with people the
simple things that make our lives different because it completely changes their
lives!
We also had an awesome Zone meeting this week and he STLs
shared a video to us that I'll share with you. We can do so much more than we
give ourselves credit for! So keep pushing forward and keep working hard and
don't look back! 
A Sister shared a quote in church on Sunday that I really
loved! She said "you spend 2 years (18 months) of your life working hard
and then you spend the rest of your life thinking about it." This is such
a precious time that I have here on my mission and I want to be able to look
back on it for the rest of my life and smile at the amazing experiences I've
had!
Those were probably the biggest lessons I learned this
week! I love that I learn something new every day. It's such a huge blessing!
It's starting to turn into Christmas here and I'm super
excited!
Everyone starts getting ready for Christmas as soon as
Halloween is over and it's the best! I love Christmas! It's going to be weird
this year without my family around but I'm glad that no matter where I am I
have family within the church and all of the amazing people I get to meet
become like family!
I hope you are all doing great! Love you all so much!
Have a great week!
