This week was not bad at all. We didn't get to meet
any of our investigators for a sit down lesson this week . We did
however get to give our recent convert the priesthood this week. It was a
really sweet experience. We have passed him over to the ward really
well. Our young mens president is taking care of pretty much everything
he has got him started doing Duty to God and is starting on working on
getting him to the temple. He is doing really good and is participating
really well in sunday school and young mens. He loves going to church so
much, but not for us for actual church and the members there.
We
had a mission tour and Pres. Ringwood came and talked to us. He talked
about Moroni 10 and desires and mercy. It was super spiritual and it
gave me a lot of things to think about and ponder.
study
this week was focused shifted gears at the end of the week because of
the Mission tour. At the beginning of the week my studies were just the
normal reading the Book of Mormon,Jesus the Christ and all of that good
stuff, but then it changed to learning more about mercy and desire. When
they talked a lot about that in mission tour it stuck out to me and
made me want to study it more. So i wrote down a lot more of my desires
this week and it made me grow more. Maybe only another inch, but hey
that is one more inch i needed.
I went on
exchanges this week with a district leader and it was pretty hard but
fun. He has a little bit of a problem not talking about the gospel when
he is talking to people on the street, he talks about his life before
alot. I noticed that and brought it up with him. We talked a little bit
about removing bits and pieces of the things that are holding you back
from serving with your all. We talked about burning the bridges back to
home and putting everything from your old life in a shoebox and pulling
out that shoebox after your mission and picking out the things you need
and leaving the things you dont in the box. He seemed to like that a
lot and he is going to make a list of the things that he can change and
start to change them. I liked the exchange, it gave me ways I can change
as well.
My miracle this week was that Elder
Miller and I became way more close this week. Nothing that Elder Miller
did, but there just seemed like there was a wall between us, but now
that wall has crumbled more and we are able to work alot better
together.
Love Miles
also i may email 1 day later next week.
