Hello everybody! I hope y'all are well.
This week I just felt burnt out. With the new responsibilities as district leader, helping the other missionaries in their areas and still working in mine has been a challenge. I have been trying my best to unify the missionaries and show love for them and it has just taken a lot out of me. On top of that we had a baptism that was supposed to happen this week but we had to move it to May, we weren't able to find anyone this week and 0 out of the 4 people that committed to come to sacrament came... but the Lord knows better than I. I sin in my wish. I need to have a less myopic view.
A lady named Patsy that we invited to church did come to the building but than got shy and left. But she came! That was a miracle. We also had a surprise dinner yesterday with a big family and that reminded me a lot of the family dinners I had back home. That was a tender mercy. And we got to eat at this really good BBQ food truck twice this week so that was awesome!
Also, I've been doing a challenge to read the Book of Mormon in the same amount of time as Joseph Smith translated it and it has been amazing to see the pattern the Book has with the old testament story of Moses and the children of Israel! It is beautiful how the scriptures flow together.
This week I have really been trying to give my will over to the Lord. I have been trying to listen to Him and do what He wants me to do in Mena.
Love you all!
