July 1, 2019 The Falling Tree

This week flew by. A few highlights were we had a awesome church attendance (the bad part was I was speaking), we didn't die (a huge tree branch broke off a tree and smashed a house we were about to knock on), and we found 2 awesome people. It actually was a crazy week full of excitement. So, at the start of last week, I went on a tradeoff with Elder Welsh. He came out with me and was part of my mtc district so it was good to spend a day with him. All of the crazy things happened this week too. We got another assistant to the mission president, got a new mission president who I will meet on Wednesday, and our mission is finally combined with the Georgia Macon mission and Tallahassee mission.

The more spiritual side of my week consisted of reading through a huge chunk of the Book of Mormon because of a challenge to read the whole thing by the 7th of July. As I have been reading through it, I have really noticed how the things that stick out to me are pertaining to things that have been on my mind. This week the gospel of Jesus christ has been on my mind. First I gave a talk on it and second a lot people seem to be pointing fingers and make excuses in this area. It really made me think of how simple the gospel path is and how if we follow it, we will become a solution rather than a problem. Lots of times we forget the basics and try to complicate things but the best thing we can do is follow the gospel of Jesus Christ by exercising faith, repenting, focusing on our covanents, seeking the spirit and press forward relying on Christ.

Not much else happened this week! Maybe next week will be more exciting. Haha Hope everyone has a great week! Love ya
