Hey Everyone!
This week was pretty good, I'm just trying to remember everything that happened. We have been meeting with Adrian still but it has been a while because we can't get a hold of him. We are hoping we can meet with him again soon.
We didn't have a ton of meetings this week which means we had quite a bit of time in our area which was really good. We were able to find a few new investigators to start working with and we hope to continue to find more. It has been nice to have more time in the area and we have been able to talk to a lot more people because of it which just feels a lot more accomplishing.
Because we had more time we did a service project for a man named Jim which was a lot of fun even though it was like a thousand degrees outside. Since we normally always wear white shirts I have a pretty bad farmer's tan and I was also very white where the collar of the shirt is. Well, after this project I got totally fried just where the collar of the shirt normally goes on the back of my neck and so I had this nice red stripe, right above it my neck is tan and right below it it's totally white. Now I have a neopalitan tan with three colors. It's pretty great.
This week we also started a challenge mission wide to read the Book of Mormon in 90 days I am really excited for it but it sure is hard. If you know me I am a super slow reader and so I spend a lot of my down time on this specific challenge now but I am determined to accomplish it. Well that's pretty much all I've really got for this week. It sure was a fun week though being able to get out and serve and work in our area!
Oh, we also finally got another ward mission leader so that is a huge blessing! Things are definitely looking up in the Duarte ward and I have learned a ton from working in this area. I'm so grateful I could serve a mission and I never want it to end. I've heard it kinda stinks going home anyways and what better place to learn and to grow than out here serving the lord!
I know that Joseph Smith really was a true prophet of God as well as all the prophets who succeeded him. I am so grateful to be part of the church of Jesus Christ that has been restored to the earth today. I am so grateful for all of the scripture and materials that we have to learn and grow from. Many people sacrificed everything including their lives just so that we could have the scriptures today and read the things that they have learned.
I challenge you all to read from the scriptures a little bit each day and don't take them for granted! Find out if the Book of Mormon is true and find out if the Bible is true again and again. As you study and pray for an answer over and over again, your testimony will grow and you will receive guidance that will bless you throughout your life. I love you all and I hope that you have a great week!
