Hey how is everyone doing this week? This week was a little bit better than the last, that's for sure. I just had a little case of Homesickness, no biggie, the week before. But all is well now. It just crazy being out here, I am super lucky to be out here and to have my family and me receiving many blessings. I love my family i just want to let you all know that there are such a blessing in my life and the chance that i have to have them support me during these two years and to just grow into a better person.
So something that has been really hard this transfer is getting members out with us we really have had like not much success which has been frustrating, especially since last transfer they had 9 baptisms here in the branch between the two companionship's. The key is the members here and getting referrals and member support and that has been lacking. We had a good chat with the Branch President and is getting the whole ward to work with us now and we have people start coming out with us. That is a big part since we have like a limited amount of miles and it is impossible to stay in the limit without members. But things are starting to change we have been upfront with the ward and things are really starting to get better. I really can see the importance of working with members now and the many benefits and success come from working with the members. No wonder it is in Preach my Gospel.
Well just love all of you guys. I know a mission is super important and also being able to say that i am a worthy priesthood holder. I have had two great examples of how to do that with my Dads. They have been great examples for me and even though at times i didn't exactly listen they now are making a huge impact in my life and I can see the man that i want to develop into. And the only way is through a mission. There are so many lessons that i am learning out here. First off is hard work man I feel tired 24/7 that is coming from hard work though. Also how to budget my money with a short amount of money supply i got to budget it well. There are just so many that i am learning i cannot list them all. But i love this gospel and it truly does change lives. Always follow the spirit that has been a big one. It is very hard at times but we had to listen to that still small voice and act on the prompting he gives us. I love you all!!
