BEING SICK IS THE WORST

 HOWDY YALLL!! Yall are getting peaches and Pitts this week because I really procrastinated writing this email 

Peaches: THERE WERE SOO MANY PEACHES THIS WEEK!!! 

- SIX( one of the soldiers) GOT BAPTIZED!!! She's so sick and her baptism was amazing, the spirit was so strong, tons of the soldiers came up after and told us they want to be baptized too!!

- we were able to put our friend perlina on date, she told us she's been reading the bom and it makes her feel at peace when she reads. He talked about  the gift of the holy ghost and she was fr like wait I want that! It was so sick 

- we met this really cool guy when we were tracting and were teaching him now! 

- Bryan is down to 1 cigarette a day!!!! Prayer works and preisthood blessings are for real 

Pitts:

- the one pit this week was that we were sick, like so sick. For a few days but we were not about to stay inside so we bit the bullet and went out anyway. Being sick as a missionary is actually the worst but ya know nothing makes you appreciate being able to breathe more than not being able to lol 

- I have 0 time to tell yall about the rest of the peaches. I will try not to procrastinate writing my email next week lol. 

Invitation:

I had a member ask me a question at a dinner that I've been thinking about ever since. She asked me if you know someone hates you're guts do you give them space to diffuse the contention or do you try to get them to not hate you anymore?  As I was trying to answer her questions the spirit taught me something. When we pray to see people from Christ's point of view it's very hard and I would even say impossible to hate someone, when we put ourselves in others shoes we can only feel Christ's love for them. I asked her what she thought christ would do and she said love them anyway. I think  that's so beautiful, we can love our enemies even when it's hard, we can cast out our pride and our need to compare ourselves with one another and simply love gods children!  I want to invite you all to strive to view everyone the way christ sees them. Pray to have the eyes to see them that way, cast out judgment and replace it with love!
