***If anyone would like to offer specific prayers for Brayden, please pray that his companion's heart can be softened and that Brayden can feel the love we all have for him.
Hello everyone! I hope you guys are having a great week and sorry this email is coming a little late! Not very many things happened this week so ill keep it short but the cougs are 8-0 and basketball just beat north carolina so lets go!! I guess this is a bad year to miss byu sports or something like that haha!
This week i gave out my first book of mormon all by myself without the translating of my companion haha! We also had intercambios (companion splits) with the aps and zls this week which was awesome and very needed. Im not going to sugarcoat it this has been one of if not the hardest weeks of my life, but we got through it and all we can do is put more trust in the lord and have more faith! The work is really really slow here in san filipe and its very hard to find people and have people make commitments. And the language seems like its not coming along at all haha but ill get it soon.(i hope haha!)
Highlights!
Gave out 2 book of mormons
Got a guitar! (Thanks elder cooley)
Intercambios with the zls and aps
Made some amazing food
Had my first cinnamon roll in a few months!!
Byu is killing it
Spiritual thought:
Everyone in their lives will feel forsaken by the lord and feel like hes not there. The prophet joseph smith cried out unto the lord asking why he had been forsaken, while he was in the darkness of liberty jail. There are two ways we can react to this feeling, we can stay feeling this way for as long as we want, or we can figure out what changes we need to make in our lives to come closer to the lord again. Dont stay feeling alone and without god, the feeling is terrible and you never want to be there. Ask for help and earnestly pray to our father in heaven to get through the hard times and do things that bring you closer to the savior. We all need to learn from these times, and we always need to lean on the savior and feel the infinite love of his atonement. I invite you all to go a little further this week, study a little more, go to the temple, pray out loud, focus during sacrament, etc. The lord is there waiting for you to turn to him, take the opportunity and act upon it.
Sending all of my best wishes to you all, i pray for you all constantly. Send me an email if youd like it always makes my day!
