Another week has passed us by, and I am not sure how! I'm trying hard to remember what exactly happened this week!
We have been sharing a lot of messages with members which is awesome! We are really trying to stress how important they are to the missionary effort! The families here are so wonderful too! And they all the most creative names (I mean this is Utah, so it makes sense)!
I met the Canaan family this week (they are members), and we were talking about how I am a theatre major and they casually said their son was on Broadway for 25 years! And they showed me a picture and their son is Paul Canaan! I'm sure no one knows who that is, but I do and I couldn't believe it! Then she showed us a bunch of videos and pictures of him with my favorite Broadway stars. Oh my gosh I have to say that I was definitely in heaven for 45 min.
BUT on a more spiritual note, we found some new people to teach! One of them is named scarlett and she is the sweetest thing! And her brother is super nice as well. Scarlet is 11 and her brother, Ellis is 14. AND THEY LOVE US WHICH IS THE BEST PART! We are going to start teaching them every week which is awesome!!
We did a lot of door knocking because we are trying to pass out flyers for the temple ground breaking, and we met a good chunk of people! Some of them weren't interested, but some of them were totally okay with us coming back to share a message with them!! So yay!!
On Saturday, we got to help finish the shovels for the temple ground breaking in Saratoga Springs! It was a nice break from door knocking and member messages and service always feels awesome! I encourage all of you guys to serve at any opportunity you get. It will bless you and the people you serve. And it makes you feel good! Win win situation, amiright???
Our mission president has challenged us to memorize 10 scriptures about Christ. I am honestly really excited about this challenge because I really want to know the scriptures better! One scripture I am memorizing is in the Book of Mormon. It is 2 Nephi 33:6, and it says, "I glory in plainness; I glory in truth; I glory in my Jesus, for he hath redeemed my soul from hell." I know it's not super long, but it's super powerful to me. The gospel of Jesus Christ is simple, and through him we can be made whole. It is not some big complicated thing, it is just this. God and Jesus Christ love each and everyone of you reading this. You are His sons and daughters. Turn to Him. Find peace in Him.
I love you all!! Thank you for your love and support! I think and pray for you every day! Miss you dearly!
Please send me emails and pictures! It makes my day!!
