What an amazing experience, being trained has been.
How are y'all?! I love you so much!! I hope you are all having a
fantastic week!!
This week wasn't out of the ordinary, so I am going to talk more
about the transfer.
My companion Elder Burgess is a legend. He has helped me to grow
so much. He led by example and has truly helped me to understand the importance
of missionary work. He has such a powerful testimony and he understands the
doctrine very well. We have had so much in common and have been so open with
each other that it has become so easy to learn from one another. We rely on
each other and we trust each other.
Very similar to our relationship with our Heavenly Father, we
need to rely on him. Our Father in Heaven relies on us to share the gospel and
provide for the needs of others. He trusts us. He absolutely trusts us. We
cannot lose that trust with our Heavenly Father. He is ALWAYS reaching outwards
to us; we have to be willing to accept his guidance or "correction"
if you will.
I have had the wonderful opportunity to serve around the zone
leaders and missionaries that just went home yesterday. They all had so much
experience and seemed to be so happy with their growth as a missionary. The
Lord wants to help us grow and He wants to strengthen us, but we also have to
be willing to be given correction. We learn from one another.
I am so excited to be given this opportunity going into these
next 2 transfers to be the District Leader for Columbia Area and to train a new
missionary… I already love him. I cannot wait to have another opportunity to
learn and grow from another missionary. Tomorrow I drive to St. Louis for
training and I will pick up my companion then.
Short email this week and who knows what to expect for next week.
Love y'all!!!
Have an amazing first week of August!!!!
