This week went by pretty fast! We did a lot of busing up to downtown and around since we have no car and elder Briscoe sold his bike. We talked to a lot of people. Sisters will be taking our spots, so I feel super good about leaving them with some great peeps to work with. We have one on date right now!! I know the sisters will get him splashed. Sisters usually do better than elders anyway. I think they will like this place!!! Don't you fret mom, I am leaving my room nice and clean! ;)
Not a whole lot of time to write today since we are packing up and getting ready to go. I got a nice visit from The Ball Family! It was so great to see them! For my personal study from this week I have been studying up on the Pioneers in light of Pioneer Day. I have been doing a lot of studying of ancestors and church history. Our President allows 2 hours a week to do some family history. I have found 3 names to do work for and I have been reading a lot of their articles and journals (I need my brothers to do the baptism and confirmations)! As I read their stories and the stories from the Saints I have really come to love their sacrifice. I grew up knowing that it was hard for them to trek west but I didn't know about all the persecution before. I should say I heard about their persecution but I didn't realize how bad it was. The pioneers were true believers.would be reading and feeling such righteous fury for the mobsters. If I was there I would have probably been killed because I would have fought back. I have come to appreciate that my life is not even close to as hard as theirs was. I am so thankful for my pioneer ancestors, whether they were on the plains or just recent, I am happy they made it so I could be here on a mission. I am probably teaching some of those mobster's ancestors and giving them the chance for eternal life! I love this gospel and how much it can change us.
Have a blessed week y'all!
Love, Elder Q
