Week 55: PROGRESS




Hay bales

Monday- I am so grateful for My Family, personal study, running, fields, and perfect temperatures.

Tuesday- I am grateful for hay bales, cold rain, my body, and music.
Wednesday- I am grateful for stargazing, The temple, flowers, music, and open space.
Thursday- I am grateful for clouds, interviews, John 3:16, emails, cooking, pass along cards, and long sleeves. 
Friday- I am grateful for Portuguese, talks, videos, sunshine, and ingenuity.
Saturday- I am grateful for running, rain, Walmart, and texts.
Sunday- I am grateful for invitations, progress, farewells, thoughts, and realizations.
Monday- I am grateful for excitement, change, spontaneous service, bonfires, and new music policy.

Wooowee last week of the transfer!
We got to do some service at the temple and it was pretty anticlimactic. Every time we get asked to do temple grounds service I always get so excited and think that it's going to be something big and make a huge difference but every time it's actually been pretty small and seemingly insignificant. For example, all we did was cut off the heads of dead flowers. It really doesn't seem like it's gonna' make that much of a difference in the end but that's how things stay nice. Constant and precise care. 
But it's always way worth it because it's a huge blessing just to be on the grounds of the Temple, The Lord's house is powerful. 

We helped a nice lady move in our stake and she was super nice and invited us to a bonfire on Saturday! 


We had interviews with President on Thursday and it was excellent! I love interviews. They are always spiritually rewarding.
 
Tacos for the win.



We tried to get a little creative this week and so we got some pass along cards and addressed them to specific people in our Areabook and dropped them by their houses! It was fun and got us out of the house more so that's always a blessing. 



Starting to get chilly

The Chosen is the best show ever.

We helped out Kevin this week by helping him install piping, cleaning out his gutters, and helping him feed his horses. We tried to teach a lesson but he's REAL hard to keep on topic. Good stuff for sure though.


Speedy!


Saturday seemed like kind of a bust but we seemed to make the best of it! Our service and bonfire both got cancelled because of the rain. So instead we went on some walks around Walmart, listened to some great devotionals, and went on an evening run to help revive ourselves. Somehow I ran a mile time trial and got 5:01! I was amazed and almost ran a PR in my old age😉 Oh so happy it made the whole day so much better. Exercise does wonders my friends.


Bonfire




I finished the Doctrine and Covenants this week!! It's definitely strengthened my testimony in the Restoration! All things in the book were revelations from God and they all can bring you closer to Him. Talking more of Him does that ya know.
We taught Aliyah on Sunday about The Gospel of Jesus Christ and put her on date for December 5th!!! The Spirit was so powerful during the invitation it was glorious. It made me want to shout for joy. We are so happy and excited for her! 
It made the rest of the week all worth it 😁


Gina really spoiled us.


We FINALLY had Ward coordination meeting and got them to steadily be held every week! Huge accomplishment.

The Facebook page is TAKING OFF. It sure has come a long way in the time since I've gotten here! I'm so grateful for progress.

Things have really seemed to come together this week 🙏

The music policy has changed and it now includes a Christian pop station on the radio. I'm ecstatic and soooo happy.

Well I'm getting transferred and can firmly say that I'm leaving the area better than I found it so I'm quite happy.

Love y'all

Elder Morrison
