Hey Everyone!
I can't say much happened this week because
it was a little shorter and we had a lot of meetings. On the bright
side, I have been getting better at setting up and using all of the
technology for the meetings so that has been nice. Since I was at mostly
meetings this week I will just write about those.
We received a lot of
instruction from President and Sister Villanueva and from the Assistants
that was really good.
We talked a lot about the importance of studies and working with the ward. I love having time set aside in the morning as part of the missionary schedule to study. It is such a blessing and really gets my day started off right and I am more prepared for the day. I encourage all of you to take some time to study the scriptures everyday. It doesn't have to be a long time but if you do it everyday it will bless you for the rest of your life.

We also talked about working
with the ward we are serving in and I really liked that because we are
really struggling to find people to teach right now. This area is really
difficult but elder Baguley and I both feel like we are right around
the corner from finding someone awesome. I think if we work better with
the ward and some of there friends, we will find more people who are
interested or just more open to our message.
A lot of people are closed
off to us missionaries because we dress strangely and they know what we
are all about but those same people are very open to listening when a
friend with a sincere testimony of the gospel invites them to listen and
just wants what's best for them! I challenge all of you to branch out
and make new friends around you that you can invite to hear the message
of the restored gospel. It will bless their lives forever and yours as
well. Hope you all have a great week!
