Good morning!!
This week was another wild one. I’m doing something kind of weird and going to dollar tree and buying dog treats because I’m sick of dogs chasing us and barking. We might play disc golf so that should be fun
Tuesday
We got chastised hard today by our mission president. There have been some disobedient missionaries in the mission that got sent home. So he went hard on us today at zone conference. Things are tightening up and I’m not trying to get sent home. Everyone was shook in the room. You know he’s about to say something serious when he starts our saying how he loves all of us.
Wednesday
We had a pretty solid day, we worked out did our studies and had some nice taco bell. What a blessed place to be. We taught some awesome families and focused a lot on the plan of salvation and the importance of it. Nothing to crazy happened today but it was a solid one.
Thursday
I had my exchange with Elder Burningham today in Grantsville. It was crazy being back in the apartment that I lived in on day 1 in the mission. We taught some people I remembered which was awesome. The craziest thing happened while sitting in the car today. I was trying to clean my hands off and accidentally sprayed the hand sanitizer in my eye, I jerked back my head and hit the windshield and made a huge crack in it. Don’t know how my head doesn’t hurt and how I cracked it. It was about a foot long. I got a tough head I guess. I saw Mike at the end of the night and it was so awesome. Mike was so happy to see me cause it’s been a whole year now. It was a good day in Grantsville.
Friday
We had zone council today and it was pretty solid. I gave a training about the importance of being disciplined on the mission and how it translates to life after the mission. We had Nayeli’s baptism and it went really well and she loved it so much. Also we saw a lady at the apartments scratching the ground like crazy and screaming. She was high on something and it was sad to watch. We tried to give her water but she ran away. Keep the word of wisdom.
Saturday
Working out today by back spazzed out and it hurt so bad. I could barely walk for part of the day so that sucked. We had a service and afterwards the guy took us to his basement where he made an old western saloon. It was the coolest basement ive ever seen. He has a civil war flag, guns, and medals from his great great grandfather that is worth more than his whole house. We had some good lessons today and found a new person to teach.
Sunday
Chill Sabbath day. We went to a missionary farewell for the kid we baptizeds brother. He is a super cool dude and we will miss him. We got to eat lunch at their house so that was nice. Watched our missions live stream and downloaded my photos to my phone. We went to a missionary panel where they asked us all types of questions, it was a ton of fun. We had a call with our mission president tonight because he wants to go teaching with us on Wednesday. Scary but awesome!
Spiritual thought:
2nd Nephi 31:3
For my soul delighteth in plainness; for after this manner doth the Lord God work among the children of men. For the Lord God giveth light unto the understanding; for he speaketh unto men according to their language, unto their understanding.
The lord is a God of plainness and simplicity. We are all at different stages in life and God will answer our prayers according to our own understanding. He wants you to have a surety that he knows you personally as our father in heaven. He loves and cares for all of us here on earth and will always be there for us. The lord hath not forsaken us.
Elder Willis
