HOWDY YALLL!!! This week was absolutely insane! And is about to get crazier lol🫠 it's kinda nice to have a packed schedule though, at least I think it's fun haha! I LOVE THE YSA it's so fun, the people here are awesome!
WEDNESDAY: PDAYYY! We played basketball and spike ball, it was super fun! Then we had some member lessons, those were awesome
THURSDAY: T1 TRAINING! we got to do a training for the new missionaries that came in and is was both terrifying and super fun at the same time lol! We had such a good lesson/ dinner after with someone the sisters had met and passed off to the Elders, they were sooo open and the spirit was so strong! The elders were able to put them on date so that was super awesome!
FRIDAY: 1ST FRIDAY! there's so many ysa in Bentonville!!! They do tons of fun stuff to which is nice for us because all the ysa are in the same place. For 1st Friday they had tons of food trucks, pop up shops, music... we went finding with one of our recent converts there, it was so fun!!
SATURDAY: PPL WHO BASH HAVE TOO MUCH FREE TIME. We got bashed by someone we were teaching for a good hr and a half. Sister Ellsworth is a baller tho and ended it by sharing 2 Nephi 33:11. The rest of our day was awesome! We met some really kind, open people((:
SUNDAY: THE SABBATH DAY! We found an old church video abt fasting 12/10 https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/video/2011-03-0098-wherefore-have-we-fasted?lang=eng
I got to meet lots of the ysa today, we have such a sick group of ysa! They are so fun, the recent converts are so solid! We had break the fast and we got to get to know the ysa a lot more so that was way nice!
MONDAY: MLC REVIEW! We got to hang with all the missionaries in our zone for mlc review, it was so fun! The spirit was super strong too! A member had asked us to come to his party to find some of his friends and then teach one of them who was interested. We had a interesting lesson with Adam ( the members friend)... it was good but we got to the apostasy and I shared the basic Sister missionary analogy for the apostasy, asked Adam a question. The spirit was strong and then out of nowhere the member just goes will you marry me? I was like excuse me? Super awkward, nothing drives away the spirit like proposing to a sister missionary in a lesson. The rest of the time we were just trying not to laugh lol. The rest of our lesson was pretty good though, Adam had lots of good questions!
TUESDAY: BUSY, BUSY, BUSY
We slightly overbooked ourselves on Tuesday so it was really crazy, but we had some baller lessons so it was way worth it!
Spiritual thought:
I was reading in Matthew when Christ invites his follower to follow him.
Matthew 8:22-23
"And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him."
At first I was surprised at Christ's response to his disciple, then I realized. Christ understood that the only true cure for his disciples pain would be to stop thinking about his grief and go to work. True joy and peace comes from bringing others joy. Sometimes Christ asks us to leave behind "nets" that seem impossible to leave behind. But through Christ all things are possible. There is no time to waste! Christ needs us and he needs us now.
Here's a bomb talk that goes really good with this scripture((:
“Follow Me”
