I Am Well

Howdy yall.

Moral of the story: good week! 

It's been sort of cloudy but really pretty with all the green everywhere. And the sunsets🤩 beautiful. It's been rainy and hot the past two days so you know what that means... the skeets are breeding. I'm mentally preparing for the exponential increase of flying death in the air. My ankles have already been chomped. And the other bugs are coming out to play too. We found a cockroach under my desk and Hna Ralphs and I were like "not in our house" and so I shot it with my trusty nerf gun and we realized it was already dead. Crisis averted. 

I made myself a smoothie this week. Big accomplishment for me because I am no Remy from Ratatouille. I'm his brother Emile that eats out of the garbage can. Lol jk but really. We also made papusas with a member and it was awesome. I love them. They are delicious. 

We went on exchanges which is always fun!! I missed MoCity while I was gone for 24 hours though lol. But it was fun to be in Sienna! Sister LaFleur was so fun too and I was inspired by how nice she is to other people😪 I love being around other Sister missionaries and just soaking in all of their goodness. 

I love texas and I'm happy to be a missionary!! Woohoo success! I feel like that's pretty cool. I notice myself changing too. It's awesome. 

I know that I'm a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ. I'm grateful for Jesus because He heals pain and He shows me who I can be. He invites me to come and see what He offers, and He invites me to come serve with Him. It's real. This is real stuff. One day Jesus will come again and we will all be overjoyed to see Him. I'll probably cry because I have leaky tear ducts. I invite you to take some quiet time, listen to your favorite song about Jesus and think about what He means to you. Just think about Him. Be open.

Life is good! Expect great things!

It was a good week this week! It makes me feel happy that I am enjoying being a missionary. Some days are a little slow but on those days, the missionary work we're doing is uplifting each other. So it's been good. We put our beds in the living room and our desks in the bedroom this week. So that's been fun! We found a cockroach under my desk last night.🤢 I shot it with a nerf gun and found out it was dead. So thank goodness. The bugs are coming out and the bug bites are plentiful.

I got the scripture case and it's awesome! I'm excited to use it. I took my Cambodian case off and I forgot that my scriptures were green. I think they're so pretty. 

We got a referral for a man from Haiti who had found the church in the Dominican republic but came to america and couldn't find it here. So we got to teach him yesterday! He's super prepared to receive the gospel but we felt like our lesson preparation was kind of garbage and we all felt bad afterwards. So we're going to improve on that. 

Also I made a smoothie AND chicken salad this week. Progress.

In regards to faith, I've been a little scattered with my studies this week but something I've been (kind of passively) doing is looking for the goodness of God in the scriptures. Good things He does for His people. It's everywhere. It's a lot easier to believe in a loving Heavenly Father whom you can trust. I think you can expect good things. Have faith in good things.
