(No subject) (8-21-23)

 Friends! 

This week has been full of learning experiences. Mostly the good kind. 

Importantly, Sophia has really pulled through! Her life is getting kind rough but she went to church and found someone to go with her own accord. We have a lesson set up for Tuesday. 

Naps

I hate taking naps, especially on the mission. I don't take breaks. It has almost become a philosophy. Don't stop when you're tired, stop when it's done. 

 I just couldn't get negative thoughts out of my mind. While I was praying the story of Elijah came to my mind. Elijah was upset and the Lord told him to go to sleep. 

That's exactly what I did and I felt so much better the whole week. 

Creation 

We went to the temple and I was praying about whether or not I should extend my mission. The story of the creation came to mind about everything has a time and a place. I love the temple so much. 

Unity

Christ has command us to be one, and if ye are not one ye are not mind. I realized that this is key for me keeping the spirit is to be one. To not compare myself to other missionaries or others. That we are one, if we are one with Christ.
