Salahm and good evening to you! (Hah get it. Aladdin.)
Another Pday??? Already?? Is this for real?? I can't believe it's been another week, but boy has it been a busy one! Where do I even start?
So many of the kids here hang out at the gas station and drink red bull. Sometimes I wonder what's wrong with Utah. SOMETIMES.
We had the Saratoga Springs Temple Ground Breaking this weekend!! Sister Davis and I spent all of Friday night in the freezing cold dropping off flyers for it in the freezing cold. I'm not gonna lie, I had to rely A LOT on God to push through! But it was a very refreshing feeling when we finished and i was glad we did it! The groundbreaking itself was so cool and I can't wait to watch this temple go up! I feel so lucky to be a part of this journey!
The weather this week has been the "calm before the storm." I can tell that is gonna snow soon... I just KNOW it. And it's only October! What the heck?? It did rain on Saturday and I was SO happy!!! It felt and smelt like Oregon rain. I almost cried. Sister Davis was not as happy. She ran to the car while I stood outside. RIP Sister Davis during the winter time.
I experienced my first zone conference and that was wild. At the moments where I least expected it, the mission president would call on me to answer his question, so I mean that was pretty stressful! But I made it! And they had really yummy burrito salad things for lunch and I was in HEAVEN for 30 minutes.
The teaching is going good! No one new yet, but we will find them! This week was hard because everyone was on fall break and out of town. Literally half of the people we asked to come visit didnt even text us back. Oof. We took the L this week on appointments. BUT with the lessons we did have we felt the spirit and I could tell they did too!
Sister Davis and I also started writing songs this week! It was spur of the moment, but it was super fun!! Its just us sharing our testimony through music. And I love that I get this chance to! We shared it a lot this weekend with people we love! We are going to post it on Facebook so stayed tune!!! (And share it!!!!)
I talked in two wards this Sunday and it was insane. One talk was only 5 min, but one had to be like 15 min and I didnt know till we got there! But they went well! We talked about loving others as Christ does and that's what I want to share with you all today! Sometimes we over complicate what the gospel of Jesus Christ is! We think we have to say elegant phrases about the teachings that Christ taught. But we dont! We should just be trying to be like Him! Christ loved everyone and we should do the same. Just because someone doesn't believe what we believe or think the same way as us doesn't mean that we can be unkind or unloving towards them! The arr still God's child and our spirit brother or sister! Let us all work to love everyone the way Christ does. Unconditionally and as perfectly as possible in our earthly life.
I love you all! God loves you! Christ loves you! They know you! They are with you every step of the way! Keep enduring. It is so worth it and the blessings will be unimaginable!
Sister Brady :)
