Bit of a crazy week, lots of things changing and happening, but almost all of it good! First off, we had zone conference on Wednesday! Since most of my district was involved in preparing trainings, there was a good amount of stress and running around to try and get everything prepared. Sister Jarvis got tonsillitis, and so Elder Williams and I had to step in and help get things ready for her and Sister Ray, as well as teach two English classes. Luckily, it all went well,and we were actually prepared for zone conference. The next morning, we had a really good zone conference, where we had some really good trainings on goals and planning. Elder Beckstrom stayed afterward, and got to help us teach a lesson with someone he taught when he served here. Elder Williams and I also had some other really good lessons with people this week, including several new people! We also started our new schedule, where we split our preparation days between Saturday and Monday, because we have to be in the office on Monday mornings.
This week, I had a lot of thoughts about the importance of loving everyone around us, even those we don’t particularly think need it, or even care what we think. As missionaries, we certainly attract the attention of people who might not be the friendliest towards our church or religion in general. In all things, we strive to follow Christ, and His example of perfect love. There is so much good we can do when we look for opportunities to reach out to those in need of love and support. It’s not very hard either. There’s plenty of small moments where our patience and support, or even just our smiles can change someone’s whole day.
