This past week we had an amazing specialized training with all the
new missionaries with their dads & moms (trainers) it was awesome. We
did some awesome activities and had some awesome lessons. So at the
specialized training we had a lesson on stress and how to cope with
it, which there is some days I'm like AHHHHH but other then that I
keep positive about it all if I can. But then after that we had an
amazing st. Patricks day lunch with the mission president and his wife
which was awesome. We shared our highs and lows for the week. Then we
split off new missionary's went with the president and the trainers
went with his wife and we talked about things we could get suggestions
about getting in the routine, and all that know me if I don't throw
myself out of bed I'll be in bed for the day so that I have had to
work on. But it was nice to get suggestions on how to change it. But
we made jokes about just falling back asleep on the floor which I have
done a few times exercising and just dropping myself on the floor from
bed but yeah.Then we did a contest where we had to find a certain part
in the preach my gospel book as the ap's gave us a phrase and had to
find it first and we made it past that which was awesome. We also had
an activity with nerd guns and had to shot the parts of the first
vision in order so that whoever got them all first in order won. Well
we won that one. Then the last contest was the ap's acted out a rule
but breaking it and we had to find it in the hand book and man were we
close to winning the prize was for elders green awesome ties and for
the sisters green scarfs. But we took second which was awesome.
But other then that awesomeness it's been an awesome week. I
finally convinced myself to give myself my first self hair cut. Dang
hair cutting places being so expensive. Back in Utah me and my grandpa
would just get up on one of his days off and be like "let's go get a
hair cut", miss those good old days. Anyway but I'll put a picture of
it on the bottom when I'm done.
Also we had stake conference which was so amazing and spiritual.
There was so many story's told, laughter and great testimonies shared.
Also with the theme being hastening the work of salvation I challenge
you as you go through your week to think of the one person you know
that has been struggling to go and do a little service with them and
talk with them a little bit and to share a message with them that
applies to them and watch them turn that frown upside down and smile
and have and amazing day!
So not many people send me letters or mail but my parents and I'm
I charge of the mail now that I have the keys for all. So if you are
ever wanting to write me a letter I'm always exited for them. I always
send a responding letter. But I'll put my address if no one knows it
cauz that might be why know one writes me anymore... Jk I love you all
I know everyone's busy. But here it is. (11700 falls rd Potomac,MD
20854). Anyway I hope everyone's havering an amazing week!
Hit me up with a letter or email if you ever have questions for me
about my mission or my experiences.
I have enjoyed reading all you other missionaries emails it
sounds like you are having awesome fun. I know you are all awesome
missionaries.
I hope every that I email gets my email assuming I got them all
right. But yeah all is good here on my side!
Have an amazing week and always stay happy and awesome! My
mission president always says to me " what does simons say" and I
always respond saying " always keep a smile on your face and have an
amazing week" I testify as you go through your week to always keep
your head up and keep a smile on your face for you are children of our
father in heaven and that he loves us all and that are weeks are the
way they are because he loves us and wants us to return to him in the
end. I'm grateful everyday I get to go out and share that with
everyone in my mission and bring smiles to their faces knowing that
they have the true gospel in their life and that they have found that
happiness in their life. In the name of Jesus Christ amen
