A REFINER’S FIRE - 29 April 2024

I'm probably gonna keep this one short but try to make it sweet! 

Hope yall have been having an amazing week and an amazing day today! Things in the mission are just flying by. Each day I feel like is going quicker and quicker. I'm glad I've had lots of eye opening experiences lately because it's helped my realize that I need to make the most of my last 4 and a half months on the mission. Yes I have close to 4 Months left!! 

So I don't have much to report on this week other than I've been in and out of prayers with the lord all week. I will say this has been the hardest week of my mission, we have had little to no success all week and everyday I question why we failed. But I've turned to the lord this entire week and I can also say that I've never felt closer to the lord. I've tried to become the most obedient consecrated missionary I possibly can be and even though I know eventually blessings will come, I feel like this week has brought me down to my knees. Being obedient to God is Hard! But theres no where I'd rather be. I'm going through a refiners fire and I'm ready to come out the other side. I've had more spiritual strength even though I've been exhausted every day. I've had lots of time to think about what I can do to become even better and I have very high hopes for this upcoming week. God has tested me, but he will help me. 

The only thing awesome about this week is today we had an awesome day! It was close to 90 degrees outside with lots of sun so we be cooking out here in virginia! We played some disc golf in the morning then had an awesome zone Pday. We played some kickball and had some hotdogs! Then we got to go fishing with one of our members and I swear I caught close to 15 fish. Reckon they were little fish but hey, it's always fun reeling in a fish and chucking it back in the water. 

But anyways, that was my week, I hope yall had a better week than me. But no worries, this week is going to pop off. I'm ready for a hard working week to make up from this last week! I hope you all have a wonderful week as well. I love each and everyone of yall. I appreciate every single prayer that comes my way and all the emails yall have sent in return!! Stay cool and be like Jesus Yall!
