Hey!
My
week was pretty good. Some of the highlights were all the members we were able
to get out. We only got to teach like 9 lessons but we had members at 6 of
those 9. Also, at church this weekend, we didn't have any new friends attend
but we did have tons of less active friends show up, and it was definitely a tender
mercy. We are doing another mini 40 day fast thing, but it is only lasting
until next fast Sunday. For the fast, I decided no reminiscing on songs from
back home and to try to pray upright without leaning on anything.
The
piano was an adventure! So this last week we had Zone Meeting and I ended up
playing piano again. The meeting itself was so good though, one of my favorites
ever. We talked about lots of different things, but just the way it was organized
was great. Elder P. and S., and Sisters S. and P. were really lead in preparing
it. It was a blast.
Recently
we have been losing even more of my mission friends as they are finishing their
missions and returning home, including a bunch in the next 2-3 transfers. It's
super weird and I will miss them. It's a weird feeling being 1 year out,
because now we are able to think about what was going on 1 year ago. For
example, last year we were at church in the MTC and finally feeling like we
might survive the MTC, we really weren't sure at the beginning. :)
The
Zone Leaders, Elder G., and I had a little call in on the morning of the
9th and talked about what we had learned so far in our missions. I think one of
the things I have learned most is how universal suffering is. But along with
the suffering, I have also been so blessed to see how great the gospel and
Christ's Atonement is in helping all of us through our suffering, our
"valley of death" you might say.
Well
thanks for the email, it was super fun! Love ya!
