Yo hello everybody!!! It's only been what like 4 days since my last email. This one will probably be shorter than others but that's OK!!
This week we didn't have much going on really, except we kinda did but it was just a long week for some reason. So as all yall know, last week we had zone conference as well as the temple trip which was awesome, then on Thursday we had exchanges with our zone leaders which was super fun. Our zone leaders are Spanish though so it wasn't super productive at least for me. We did however have English class so I got to teach some Hispanics how to speak English haha. Can't say I'm too good at English though so maybe I shouldn't be doing that lol. But the exchange was overall lots of fun, I went with Elder Connolly and he is just a beast missionary! Super consecrated and laser focused on what's important! He's only been out for like 8 months but I learned tons from him!
Then the rest of the week consisted of us just trying to find the elect. General conference was this past weekend and it was so awesome! We got to hear some amazing talks and it was so cool to hear that Yuma, Arizona is getting temple!!! That will make 7 temples on Arizona soil! So so cool!
We did find this super cool lady named Teresa! It was honestly so cool how we found her. We were out knocking before Saturday evening conference and I felt like we needed to dip and go to this one strip mall with lots of stores. And the whole time in the parking lot we were getting rejected like crazy until we were ready to go to General Conference when we saw Teresa walking to her car and we invited her to church! She obviously said yes but a later week and we had a phone call with her that night! Found out she had been praying to God for a chance to be closer to him and boom there we were inviting her to church. We shared a baller scripture with her and she literally broke into tears over the phone! It was so cool, so I hope she will progress further and find lots of blessings in this journey!
Anyways that about all I got for this week. My favorite talk had to probably be by Alexander Dushku about recieving 1 ray of light at a time. It gave me a chance to reflect back on all the little rays of sunshine I've seen in my life. I didn't need a pillar of light all at once to know that Jesus is my Savior. I have a lifetime pillar of light looking back and I can confidently say...
I know Jesus Christ!
Aight I hope yall have a fantastic week!! Stay breezy and keep on trucking along!!
