Feliz Dia de Independencia!

Happy Fourth of July to y'all

Esta semana [This week]:
》E.DLC [Elder De La Cruz, his companion] got his hand stuck in the dryer. 💀 
》Intercambios [Exchanges... when missionaries swap companions for a day; usually to teach the new missionaries] w/E.Maxfield! He has grown a lot in these short transfers. I buzzed his head. ✂️ 
》Another stomach attack. 😫
》I got to help teach a lesson for Juan y Julieth and that was really really cool. They are a couple I baptized over a year ago. 👌 
》Zone conference w/ President y Sister Risenmay [the new mission president and his wife for the Boston mission; they started their 3-year mission at the beginning of July]. They are spiritual giants and I love them so much already. ❤️ 
》We went to the temple with our recent converts on Saturday. 🕍 
》Church yesterday was focused a lot on temples. I love the temple so much. To renew and to make covenants there is the greatest thing we can do to build our link 🔗 with Christ. 
》Window shopping and pickleball with the district. [Note the lack of any pronouncement of who won. This is NOT good news for Caden. 😂]  🪟 

This week we found 15/22. We push the rock here in the MBM [Massachusetts Boston Mission]. 🪨  Rakel and Diogenes are chilling right now, we need to be better about setting up lessons. We have been slacking with a lot of key indicators. We repented and now we ready to moler [grind - or work really hard] this week. 💪 Big faith brings big goals. Big goals bring big results. 

Love y'all 
Elder Stockett


I'm beginning to understand the scripture in John 15:13, the mission has taught me how to love others and I am so grateful for that. 

"The hope of salvation is like a protective helmet; it is the foundation of our faith and an anchor to our souls." [Dieter F Uchtdorf]

'We can say “I love you,” and those words carry the message “I am thinking about you,” “I care about you,” “I am here for you,” or “You are everything to me.”' [Ronald A Rasband]

"First and repeatedly we must uproot the weeds of sin and bad choices. It isn’t enough just to mow the weeds. Yank them out by the roots, repenting fully to satisfy the conditions of mercy." [Bruce C Hafen]

"Without His dear, dear sacrifice, there would be no way home, no way to be together, no way to be like Him." [Bruce C Hafen]
