I pray you'll be gracious in the fight of it.

 Hola,


Humble at the height of it. Choose to love in spite of it all. 

Thank you for all that you have done for me. My faith is in the future. 

Esta semana [this week]: 
○ I gave my desk to my child and now I study at the kitchen bar πŸ˜€
○ Balloon animals were created by yours truly for Kenneth's birthday party, he completed a whopping 3285 days on this planet πŸŒ 
○ I made pancakes every day this week πŸ˜‹ 
○ District Council training was given by the Hermanas on teaching with the Spirit πŸ‘» 
○ We feasted at Bears πŸ» 
○ EnseΓ±amos la clase de inglΓ©s sobre injuries  [We taught English class about injuries] πŸ©Ή
○ Intercambios [exchanges... he swapped companions for a day] with E.Mikesell y E.Rasmussen, we threw a Frisbee with old dads in the park πŸ₯
○ I bought a new balloon pump πŸ˜€ that already broke πŸ’” 

Wow. These past seven days have given me many opportunities to pray, be humbled, repent and pray again. I got to sacrifice several things that I love dearly. One of those things being sweets and desserts. Those of you who know me or my father know that this will be especially hard. πŸ™ˆ We found 5/2 people. Hit a record breaking seven friends at church this Sunday!! (Even though a few of them were given to us by the Hermanas [Sister Missionaries]) I know that it was the Lord's way of telling me that I am choosing the right path, however hard and difficult it is. Kenneth is progressing terrificly well and several of our new friends are super prepared! This next week is going to be super fantΓ‘stico. I learned a lot about sacrifice and consecration in my studies. 

Read the quotes if you want to be edified. 

Love y'all 
Elder Stockett

   I promise your personal anguish will be relieved and your obedience and faithfulness to patiently submit your will to God will be rewarded in “the own due time of the Lord.” “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”

   Sacrifice is a demonstration of pure love. The degree of our love for the Lord, for the gospel, and for our fellowman can be measured by what we are willing to sacrifice for them.

   “I [am] persuaded of one great truth: Whenever the Lord has a great blessing for one of his children, he puts that son or daughter in the way to make a great sacrifice.”

   No sacrifice is too great to have the blessings of an eternal marriage.
