So with all of the
missionaries working this one area, we have been surprisingly busy.
Lots of teaching and contacting and serving. One of the non-members we
have been teaching is named Jeff. Jeff is really awesome. He has had a
rough past, but we are super excited to be helping him. We are also
teaching "Yo Boy Brandon!" he is really cool, and is excited to work
with us. By the way he refers to himself as "Ya boy" and only Ya Boy. So
thats awesome. He also told us about how he was hitting dingers in his
softball game. He is pretty cool, and I am excited to teach him. We are
also teaching a woman named Connie. She has been taught by the
missionaries for 2 and half years. So we are going to get to know her
well and then try to push baptism with her. A lot of members thought
that she was a member, so thats good.
We
went on a fun hike with our district and it was so beautiful. Kansas is
different than I expected. i expected a lot of corn fields and flat
land. But there are a lot of trees and hills and only a few corn fields.
But I am in one of the biggest cities in Kansas.
Elder
Lloyd and Cherrington are spanish speaking and I listened in on one of
their lessons on the phone and I understood almost the whole thing! It
was awesome. I may not have been able to speak everything they were
saying, but I understand it all, which was really cool to see. and
hear.
One of the service
projects we did was painting a ladies front porch. It was pretty cool
and fun to climb up her old, wobbly ladder. It looks really good and she
was happy to see her porch looking so good.
Also,
Covid is very serious here. The ward I am in has had 4 deaths from
Covid and one of them was one of the youth. So send your prayers here
and everywhere else. It is much needed. Thank you.
One
of my favorite scriptures I read this week was from the Book of Mormon
in 3 Nephi 13:8. It says "Be not ye therefore like unto them, for your
Father knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask him." I really
like this scripture because it shows Gods care and love for us. Heavenly
Father really cares about us. He loves us and he knows what we need. He
wants to take care of us. Sometimes life gets really hard and we wonder
why God gives us these hard times, but he knows what things we need. He
knows us better than we know ourselves, and so we should trust him to
take care of us.
Now it is time for the pictures!
I will try to get the right order of pictures.
1)
the other missionaries on my flight to Wichita! We were the last of
about 4 groups to arrive that week. The mission president and wife are
on the front row.
2) the service project I mentioned. I am on the ladder and some of my companions face is there.
3) our socially distant dinner with our bishop. It was great Dominican food.
4) our district walk. A cool lake, and garden. I am in the back, the guy out of line.
Hope all is going well for y'all.
