Whats poppin peeps?!
Happy New Year to everyone! Not a ton of updates but I will try and keep it entertaining.
- meals this week have for sure been the best so far: mac&cheese with spam, bison and potatoes, burritos. And shoutout to my wonderful parents who have prepared me so tremendously
- we helped the sisters with some sms work in spanish which was kind of fun
- going to the gym is a lifesaver (our complex gym) it gets me motivated to wake up in the morning
- first DC of the second transfer was interesting to say the least jaja
- we had stake conference on sundays and we got boundary changes! 9 wards consolidated into 6 so thats pretty crazy but our tiny branch was unaffected by these changes
- district pday today and we played some spikeball in the gym, its bad yall. I am losing my touch without any real competition (no offense to anyone that i have played with since being out)
Welp turns out there were a few things that happened. As far as teaching goes we are just trying to revive our area so lots of contacts and lots of friends cancelling our appointments.
Something that I have though a lot about this week is turning my focus outward. The more selfish I am the more miserable and unmotivated I become. So focusing on why I am out here and thinking about the people that are searching for a way to change their lives but just dont know how yet is super helpful.
Finally I have been thinking about a scripture in genesis where it talks about how satan has power to bruise our heel but we have power to crush his head. We just need to remember that, remember what our Savior did for us and that we have more power over ourselves than satan does.
Peace out homies, <3
