Good afternoon family!
I always look forward to hearing from
everyone. It's good to hear about what is happening at home and share
what has been happening out here in New York.
It is so odd to think
that school is done with back in Utah. The students in New York have school
until June 21st! Poor kids... Summer is half over by then! But when I come back
home, I won't know anyone in school. If I do the college days thing for
ambassadors, nobody will know who I am. Weird to think about..Also it's weird
to think about the youth going to Elders Quorum and Relief Society! I bet that's
pretty cool. I remember being kinda hesitant when thinking about going to
Elders Quorum. I felt old all of the sudden!
We had a good week here! We had a building cleanup on Wednesday
which went really well. The weather was really bad (and we had planned to do a
lot of yard work..), so we were worried that people wouldn't come. But we said a
prayer about 2 hours before, and 45 minutes before 6, the clouds parted and the
sun came out. We had a really good group of people show up and had things
looking a lot better in no time! We probably had 25-30 there (some from Potsdam
helping us out). We're really excited to get the branch up and running though.
Only one more week of Church in Potsdam!. That's weird to think about. But it'll
be really good getting started in Massena.
We had a few really good
lessons this past week. We have a nice single mom and her daughter
on date to be baptised June 22nd. We're very excited for them, and I'd just ask you
to pray for her to accept the Law of Tithing. She doesn't have any problems with
the Word of Wisdom or Law of Chastity, but funds are tight in her house. I pray
that she'll have the faith to give it a shot and see how the Lord blesses
her.
We had District Conference this week and Zone Training Meeting, so we spent
a lot of time away from Massena. It was good to have some great motivating talks
and have a few ways I can improve brought up. Life really is about doing our
best and always pushing ourselves to be better!
Missions sure are funny. We had a really solid investigator drop
us this morning. It's sad to see how much happier they are becoming and how much their
life and family relationships are improving, then see them give it all up. I keep seeing more and more every week what is really
important in life- Family and the Gospel. If you're being obedient to all of
your covenants and doing your best, things just have a way of working out in the
end. It isn't always easy (in fact it can sometimes seem like it's making life
harder), but it's definitely worth it.
I love you all! I'm so
greatful for the support and help you are giving me. You're all the
best!
