Week 60

  Mon, Nov 6, 20230 To my Aunt Amanda who asked what the crystals are in the Hershey's chocolate, idk, probably just sugar, it was mostly underwhelming  So remember what I said about focus last week, and how neither me nor my leaders were satisfied with our goals telling us they were too low, well last week we double our goals after they told us they were too low, and then we found and taught 10 New people, and had 8 lessons with members, so that was cool. Everything just worked out better this week because god made it work, like literally everything, we had an activity for the youth and we shared a message with them and their friends, then played volleyball with them, I stuffed elder streets and the Brazilians started calling me the Utah Mountain, and The Wall, I also slammed a couple on them too, it was epic, but because we went to the activity we were able to work with João a member preparing for a mission, and working with members is always better, and everyone opened...

  Mon, Oct 30, 2023 Today was busy got to play volleyball for the third time on the mission during district pday today, me and my comp destroyed everyone  This week after the fast we found 5 new people 3 more than our goal, and did better on all our other goals than last week  Remember last week when I talked about how I felt like I needed to have a better focus, well it not only helped but 10 minutes after pday ended we had a mission devotional where presidents message was about our focus and why it matters and makes the biggest difference, he asked are we focused on serving others? Or just passing the time? Anyways pretty cool how god reveals things to us  Just a couple experiences,  1 we got to visit our part member couple friends, it was super awesome they gave us food and also we just talked for way to long, I could totally hang out with this random 30 something year old after the mission because me and him could talk for days strait, we shared a message ba...

  Mon, Oct 23, 2023   Really not much to say I went through our calendar this week, just all our lessons fell through, and we spent the whole week finding, just not very much success, during the times when focused on accomplishing our purpose god kept us going with lots of little miracles throughout the week in talking to people, but almost all of them decided in the same moment to use their free agency to not want to meet with us again,  It's a thing with apparently the whole zone right now, we did a fast as a district, and then on Saturday we had a "green day" where we were given goals to acomplish during the day to make "greens" or find new people, it was our most successful day from this week,  Just read a cool friends email, he said something along the lines of god is showing us lots of miracles but we can't see them because we got something else under our skin, good lesson, I've been reading Mathew to learn more about Jesus lately, I've learned...

  Mon, Oct 16, 2023 This week started off strong, Tuesday, we had an awesome family night with a part member couple, they gave us food and told us to come back on the 28th and eat more awesome food, they are super fun to talk with If we didn't leave we would talk all night light until the sun rises and even then I'm not sure it would end, they loved asking about the us and the many questions they have,  Wednesday we had zone conference, and it was really good, we learned lots of stuff to help us be better how we can check up better and teach more like the savior, it was fun too, we took another box of books of Mormon home, and our new traveling aps did an exchange with us for the rest of the day it went well we got a lot of work done and it was fun to do another exchange with Elder Reyes too!  It was along and tough Wednesday full of information and knowledge then some hard working practice, then we did it all again on Thursday when we had another exchange with our zone l...
