Week 66: As cold as can be

 

Bowling for P-day

Monday- I am grateful for JOY!, nights, The Book of Mormon and the videos, emails.
Tuesday- I am grateful for being busy, remodeling, technology, Joseph Smith, pictures, news, common phrases, Bible study, lessons in person, and making a fake account.
Wednesday- I am grateful for quiet, calm, Taylor the Tacoma, e-brakes, sunsets, and hints of summer.
Thursday- I am grateful for the scriptures!, my Portuguese language group, and temples.
Friday- I am grateful for stars, temples, responses, and calm reassurances.
Saturday- I am grateful for good laughs, insights, reading the Book of Mormon, snow drifts, yogurt, and water.
Saturday- I am grateful for fasting, ribs, BBQ, and thoughts.
Monday- I am grateful for sledding, guitars, medical supplies, modern medicine, construction, overalls, and hot chocolate.


Working on a house. 

Another wonderful Tuesday, we got to help a member remodel her house! It was like I was right at home. I rewired an outlet, ran new wires, installed door pulls, and hung drywall. I love working with my hands. 


Elder Brown


We also helped a member with her Facebook account. Apparently, she got hacked and she's not very good with technology at all so we came over and made her a new Facebook account and email, all under a fake name so that the hacker can't find her again. Poor lady.

More fun with Elder Brown.

Temples were brought up all the time this week and I REALLY miss the temple. It has been over a year since I've been inside.

I love small and simple reassurances from The Spirit. They teach me things. I've been noticing that when I take a second to be calm and think about what Christ has done for me, I will gain more.

Best companions yet! Elder Brown, Toomey and Ross.

I've been working on the Christlike attribute of knowledge and it's been pretty good! I'm always thinking about the scriptures and trying to learn more. In my spare time I read the scriptures even more and it is so rewarding.

Keep working on those muscles.
 
Saturday was another great day of service and some really good lessons. We read the Book of Mormon with 2 different people that night and it is so powerful. It's truly why I am out here. We also had some really good laughs at these 2 different lessons which is always good.

Baby it's cold outside.

We got dumped on with snow and boy oh boy people here do not know how to drive in it.

We had the Choose Hope devotional and it went well! So much better than last time! 



Honing in my cooking skills.


YUMMY!!

We finally had church in person for the first time in like 3 months! It was good to be back but I still miss the good ole days real bad.

Unfortunately, no new news about heading out to Brazil. I'm staying hopeful and working on my patience.

Richard and Linda


We had the busiest day ever yesterday but it was also the best day. We had 2 service projects. One setting a toilet and installing door handles. The other was sorting through old medical supplies. Then we went and played guitars with a member. Then we went sledding and had hot chocolate. We ended the day with teaching our buddy Richard! I love him and his wife! It was so busy but so good. I love my job.

Playing guitars

Transfer news came and the whole house is staying together. This is the best household I've had my whole mission. We have the best times together and I'm so grateful for another one with them all!

Sledding

Love y'all and I'd love to hear from you!
