Elder Jacob Elgaaen in Jacksonville, Florida: May 13, 2019 Weekly

This week we had a lot of great things happen. We were able to find some awesome people. One of the people we found was Olivia. She was so open and willing to listen to our message. We shared it with her, gave her a Book of Mormon and invited her to read. Her whole family even pets are girls except for her dad so we asked if she would be more comfortable with the sisters coming by. She said she would so that's the plan. JL also came to church as well as 3 other people we are teaching. Mothers day was awesome! I got to call and talk to the Best Woman in the World! My Mom!!! Besides that not much else happened. We had MLC or mission leadership conference which was good. We learned about how we need to lead through our examples. It's hard to teach or encourage something you're not an example of. This week I was reading through first Nephi and there is a lot of deep stuff that I never noticed before. For instance it completely tells of the reason why there would be a need for a restoration. It was very eye opening and cool! This next week should be a great one because zone conference and 2 tradeoffs. Remember a smile is a choice so make it one!
