I Decided to make a bookoo Fudge this week. A little bit of home 🥰

I had an interesting week. Missionary life is full of the highest highs and lowest lows and the middlest middles. I'm on the spectrum you might say.

I went on an exchange to Georgia, and because I was so close to my stomping grounds of Ringworm, I went and paid a good recent convert of mine a visit. This friend of mine decided to leave her faith a few months ago, and I couldn't just let that be without talking to her about it.

Ill make a long story short.

Read your Book of Mormon every day.

Pray every day.

And never dismiss the importance of renewing your covenants by taking the sacrament every week.

You won't ever fall away. Offense, trial, persuasion of anti-material, or a lack of faith will never win the battle of your testimony if you build those three habits.

The little things are the big things ✨️

In other words, we are still teaching our blind friend! Sometimes I forget he is blind and it makes for an awkward situation.

There was one time I was at the gym and I asked the guy with no legs if he was about to use the leg press.

Picture that scenario, but with blindness.

Rob is funny, because he has a genuine interest in our lives. (This is not typical) Missionary work is always about other people, never about you, so it catches me so off gaurd when Rob asks us inspired questions and tries to really understand who we are and why we believe what we believe.

Nice lil rob.

Speaking of inspired questions, we had interviews with Big Barlow this week and i figured he must be so tired of always hearing about other people's problems so I sat down and told him I would be Interviewing him instead.

.. its harder to life coach your mission president than you might think. Thats all I have to report on about that.

We found these two little gals this week and put them on date for baptism! Their names are Alani and Juliana! Teaching them has been fun because Alani will be drinking a 24oz Redbull while reading from her Book of Mormon. Juliana is a shy lil thing and adds a nice balance to Alani's chaos. God bless their parents 😌

Well. Sister Knight and I have been doing anything we possibly can to switch things up. We whipped cookies and started sticking them in people's door if they don't keep their return appointment. Here is evidence

Anyways.

Here is my Spiritual Thought for the week:

☆ as I took the Sacrament this week, I came to a realization of the gift that it is to participate in the Atonement every single week.

Its like I'm there in the garden of gesthemane as Christ suffers with me. It's a moment where I truly am not alone. Someone understands me perfectly.

As i offer up a broken heart and a contrite Spirit as a Sacrifice, I truly understand the Sacrament as a symbol of the great Atoning Sacrifice of my Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ.

We can't avoid pain, but we can avoid suffering, because He chose not to.
