大家好！Hello friends!
Was it this smoky where everyone else is? We had some pretty dense smoke in Calgary for a couple of days, and then the answer to prayer came with the rain.
Elder Gimenez came to the mission! Here’s basically what he said in 5 words:
READ PREACH MY GOSPEL DANGIT!
For any who don’t know, Preach My Gospel is basically the booklet of “How to missionary 101,” and it’s a great resource for all Church members and anyone who would like to deepen their conversion to Jesus a little more. Here’s some other cool things that he said, in some incredible Chilean accents:
- YOU are the culture of the mission
- Pray for love-inspired correction (We received a healthy serving this week.)
- Sometimes Joy has nothing to do with Fun
- Be okay with people not liking you. (Jesus had a lot of people that didn’t like him.)
- “Growing toward our divine potential is the purpose of our mortal experience” 🔥
- THE “YES, AND” PRINCIPLE! (Thank you RHS Improv for once again shaping my life.)
- Pray for the gift of smile
- The smart learn from their own mistakes, the wise learn from others’ mistakes
- As soon as contention appears, be like Joseph and RUN! (metaphorically)
Faith in Jesus Christ implies faith in yourself—in your ability to become like Him (Side note: Elder Gimenez insisted that while we won’t be perfect in life, we can be perfect at certain things, specifically those that the Lord asks us to do. Examples he cited were getting up on time, studying, going to bed, etc.)
There was a lot of other stuff that was shared, but that can be spared.
The week was otherwise not really exciting except for Friday when Elder Taylor had a phone call lesson with someone in Africa who shared how glad she was to know about the restoration of God’s church. We also gave a copy of the Book of Mormon in Arabic to someone this week!
This week’s challenge is to pick one of the above points and figure out how to weave it into your actions for the week. When we know the Why and the What of what we do, we can specifically figure out the How.
Wishing everyone some good rain up here! Stay cool everyone! Love you all!
