WEDNESDAY:PDAYYY
We went hard on pday, we played tennis, pickleball, basketball, football it was so fun though!
THURSDAY:ZONE CONFERENCE!
Zone conference was absolutely amazing! The spirit was insane!!! Here are a few things I learned:
" if your life is 4 minutes your mission is 3 seconds. What will you do with your 3 seconds?"
"Things that are sacred take sacrifice"
" information proceeds revelation"
" when the soil is dry it forces you to grow deeper roots"
" enduring to the end is not a destination but a state of being. It's becoming like christ"
"Prepare yourself for a fall, decide now that you will get back up"
" we can endure to the end because christ endured to the end"
FRIDAY: EXCHANGES! I got to be comps with Hermana Fire for the day, it was a party! We did TONS of finding, found some elect people((: one super cool experience we had was when we were tracting. We didn't have tons of time before our next apt. but we decided to knock a few doors. We found this girl named Emily who let us right in, had actually dated a member in high school and had a bom already. She told us she's been really struggling, so we shared a scripture with HERSELF and did a home blessing. She told us after that missionaries had stopped by her sisters home that same day🤯
SATURDAY: SATAN IS THE WORST!👎 (Elder's in a lesson this week actually told the investigator Satan is a cunning butt hole... not the exact language I would have used but made us LOL.)
Austin was supposed to get baptized on Saturday and was super excited but unfortunately he caught the flu the night before his baptism )): We had to reschedule it to next week but that's okay because more of our friends can come now. We also met this super elect guy at Walmart so that's awesome!
SUNDAY: BRANCH-> WARD😎
Our branch president has a goal to become a ward by the end of the year, so we're going to start doing lots of less active work, finding. We were visiting less actives on Sunday, had some awesome conversations with them. We actually found one of their roommates as well, had a really good convo with her😆
MONDAY: GOT TO SEE ALL THE PEEPS😎 we got to go help serve refreshments at a young adult fire side, I got to see all the ysa from our branch and my first ysa that I served in! It was crazy, I knew almost everyone there lol!
TUESDAY: LESSONS AT THE TEMPLE🔥💯
we had a lesson with our friend Adam on the temple grounds and it was sooooo good! We talked about praying, answered some questions he had about it. He grew up atheist and had only prayed 2x prior to this lesson, one was about the bom. We invited him to say our closing prayer and he said the most amazing prayer, the spirit was so strong. We asked him how he felt after and he said it felt like electricity, we explained that that was the spirit! You could tell he wanted to feel that feeling more, it was so cool! Then we had a lesson
❤️🔥Spiritual thought❤️🔥
LABORERS NEEDED!
Last week we were at a members home sharing a message, I noticed a sign on their front door. It said " welcome to the mission field". I love that so much, these members understood that we are ALL missionaries and are ALL called to share the gospel. This is a LIFELONG pursuit not just for when you're set apart as a missionary. It made me think of these scriptures :
Matthew 9:37-38
"Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest."
D&C 33:2-3
"For verily, verily, I say unto you that ye are called to lift up your voices as with the sound of a trump, to declare my gospel unto a crooked and perverse generation. For behold, the field is white already to harvest; and IT IS THE ELEVENTH HOUR, AND THE LAST TIME THAT I SHALL CALL LABORERS INTO MY VINEYARD"
We are The Church of Jesus Christ of LATTER DAY Saints. These are the last days. There is so much work to be done and not a lot of time to do it. There are LABORERS NEEDED NOW. Everyone is needed. Everyone is invited to participate.
Last week my mission president said something that has stuck with me. He said " if you knew that christ was coming in 5 years, would it change the way you worked?". He then went on to explain that christ could very much be coming in 5 years and that no one knows. Why are we putting off putting in all our effort to help all our brothers and sisters get to the celestial kingdom?
