This was a real amazing week! I saw many miracles and really learned a lot. I know I say this just about every time but man the weeks go by too fast. It feels like I just emailed yesterday.
There were a lot of tender mercies this week. One day we had all of our appointments fall through and just decided to do a ton of tracting. So we were tracting along and after like 3 hours of zero success, I started to get a little tired but since one of my goals is to stay optimistic, I started giving myself a little pep talk, got myself excited to be on the Lord's errand and said a little prayer. Then the next 2-3 people we talked to sat down with us and offered us some water and we just had some great conversations. I know the Lord was looking out for me and we were able to invite others to come unto Christ.
Our District is also really tight. We got to do some service and had some dinners together this week and I love all the missionaries that I am serving with. We also finally took a took a couple district pictures (Elder McCleve didn't want to be in them so that's why he is hiding). Our District leader, Elder Soller is great and really helped me to become a better missionary this week while talking with him. He reminded me that as missionaries, our purpose is to invite others to come unto Christ and that "others" means members, companions, less actives and investigators.
The truly miraculous part of this week was just realizing how much I have changed since being out here. It feels like I grow a year's worth every month. The Lord is really helping me to be able to apply what I am teaching to myself as well as with others.
I have a testimony that the gospel of Jesus Christ really is the best way to happiness and peace. I know that the Atonement can change you, if you let it.
Anyways I hope everyone has a wonderful week and stays safe. Happy Halloween!
Love,
Elder Morgan
