If you want to know what missionaries do now that we can't knock doors, I'll solve that for you in one simple word: service. There was only one day this week that we did not do service for someone here in the Gainesville area. I absolutely love it!
- We got transfer news, we're both staying! I could not be more excited! This is my first companion, since my trainer, that I get to be with longer than 6 weeks.
- We had what we call a zone Conference, where a bunch of missionaries meetup to learn how to be better and help each other. It was so freezing cold, so I wrapped up in a table cloth for the whole 8 hour meeting. There were no blankets.
- Did I tell yall about Hector? He came up to us and basically asked for a Book of Mormon! Coolest experience of my life. This never happens! But since then he has stood us up. We will keep trying.
- We filmed a funny video for Facebook, that we were then told to maybe not post on our Gainesville page, so it's on my personal. Go check it out. (Shameless self plug)
This week I have learned how much easier life becomes when you give it all to the Lord. I have been struggling a bit on the mission, so the other night I prayed for a long time that I could let Him take it away from me. He didn't take it all away, but I know I'm not carrying it all alone. When your burdens are too much to bear, please know you don't have to carry them alone. He wants to help you, so try letting Him. I promise you, life will get a little more bearable.
I love yall so much. Thank you for your constant prayers and support. You can do it!
