Week 18 -- HAPPY NEW YEAR

It is the new year here, I have been out on my mission for 6 months since December 26th.

This week has been pretty good I would say. 

We have been doing English and a 10 minute lesson for our English services. We have found some high potential friends.

On Wednesdays we had English group but the sisters were sick. So we combined the advanced with intermediate and my comp taught that.

I was in the parent and kid one. We played some games and learned some new things. It was really fun actually.

Thursday we had some more lessons/English. Some finding and stuff. Than that night we started our exchanges. 

Friday was alright. We went and talked to this guy named sonic. Last time he invited us into his home which was really cool. This time we were at a coffee shop. He bought us hot chocolate. It was dark chocolate so kinda trash. But still really good. People are so nice here. They always want to buy you stuff. 

One of our zone goals is to invite someone to baptism each day. So out exchange goal was 2 invites. We did it, But it's such a troll lol. That day I bought a Pokémon card pack too! Got good stuff🥰.

Saturday was pretty packed. We played badminton with a friend and her son. Her name is Elisa. She is so funny. And likes to make fun of us. 

We then played volleyball with some members and non members. It was really fun. Volleyball is super fun. We then had board games activity. It was good aswel. 

Sunday. This Sunday was one of my favorites. First we had church and we had a non member who after church we taught about why our church is different. He believes religions all have some truth but is trying to understand.

If he has even a tiny desire to find out truth. He sure will find it. 

I love how if we really humble ourselves we can find out the truth of all things.

We then had a English/lesson with Vincent. We talked about movies TV shows and anime's. Then we shared about the Plan of Salvation. My personal favorite.

Then we had a member visit where we are teaching a less active member the lessons. And we have a member there that joined in. 

After that we went to a members house for dinner. He is my favorite member. He is so sick. He also has the cutest kids in the world. We ate dinner with them and some other members and friends. So that was really awesome. It was fun to be over there and visit and eat dinner.

There has been a few moments this week where I feel out of it. And not that good. 

But I know if I keep trying. I will find something I'm missing. I'm not sure what Heavenly Father wants me to learn out here yet. 

One thing I do realize now that I didn't before my mission is Jesus Christ and His Atonement. Its because of Him that I get to come here to this earth and learn and grow. Build relationships, and experience joy. Receive our bodies and our personalities. And all the blessings we receive.

I'm so grateful for hobbies, friends, relationships, families, Plan of Salvation, and most importantly my Savior Jesus Christ. I know he loves you perfectly. He loves me perfectly. He knows us each individually. I know He lives, He loves you

Sincerely,
