Eagles are Superbowl champs!! I’m glad that I was blessed for me serving and they were able to beat the Pats.
This week started off with the Missionary Leadership Training. It was super fun! We got to go to Kingwood which is pretty far away from Port Arthur and I saw ton of my friends that are District Leaders! I learned a ton from the meeting so it was just a good day!
One really cool experience we had this week was my companion on the way back for Lunch said he felt like we should stop by these members. So, we went and did it and the guys wife had just passed away that morning. The Spirit totally led us there and it was good to be able to see him. We then attended the memorial service later in the week and it was really good. I am so grateful for the knowledge and joy of knowing I get to be with my family forever!
Our investigator Juan went this entire week without smoking so it has been like 10 days for him! His baptism interview was supposed to be this Friday and he bailed on that. We got to go over and see him the next day and we had a good lesson with him. During it I felt the spirit tell me to promise him that if he came to church the next day he would know that this church is true and this is the direction he should be heading. But the next day he didn't show up for church and we haven't been able to get in contact with him since so we are hoping for the best!
Well this week we got bed bugs.... and it’s the worst hahaha. It’s terrifying to go to sleep cuz there is really nothing we can do. but we got this place fogged out so hopefully that does the trick.

I love the opportunity that I have to serve the Lord here on my mission and I have seen that when we are on the Lords errand he does not let us fail so we can put our trust in him!
Love you all and have a great week!

Mom’s Questions
How have you seen the Lord’s hand in directing the work this week?
It is crazy to me how we are always doing what the Lord wants us to because sometimes I literally have no idea what I'm doing but as long as we plan and try our best the Lord makes the most of our efforts. So, this week we just decided to stop by an active members home on our way back which we don't do very much. But his wife had just passed away that morning and they were super happy to see us. God really does love his children!
In what way have you grown the most on your mission so far?
Well I made my bed like once and I guess that is more than I ever did at home. But I’ve learned to trust in the Lord a lot more! It takes lots of faith to go out every day and expect you will find someone but the Lord always provides!
What was the biggest take away from your leadership training you had last week?
Well we talked a lot about being accountable. And the reason we are accountable is because we notice the success and failure in our lives and we are able to improve so that helps a ton with life and missionary work.
What has been one of the most challenging things on your mission so far?
Probably the most challenging thing for me is to not look around and see others success and wonder why I am not having success. Because I haven't baptized yet and that’s something I would love to do. But I've learned a lot of good things and when we are on the Lords errand he won't let us fail so we just put our trust in Him and do whatever he needs us to do!
What do you do to stay positive when you get discouraged?
The atonement of Jesus Christ is the most hopeful message we have. He knows how we feel and think and can help us! As we put our faith in him and not the agency of others then we will always find success!
Did you see anyone you knew at leadership training?
Yeah I saw a ton of my friends!! I saw Elder Jones, Anderson, Archibald, Remund, and tons of other people I knew so it was a ton of fun to see them again!
