- The MTC rocks
- My district is seriously the best
- my branch president is not afraid to call anyone out and he called a lot of us out on not being exactly obedient.
- my friend in my district who is like 6'6" ate ten corndogs one day for lunch
Long story (if ur in a rush u can skip this part, more down below.)
- This week has actually been a little harder because the first week they were basically like oh man you are a missionary how awesome, but this week i felt like a lot of it was listen if you want to be an amazing missionary you have to be doing this this and this. And to be honest a lot of my shortcomings as a missionary got pointed out to me by the spirit. Dont get me wrong I love the mission, but i dont want to be one of those missionaries who writes home that everything is flowers and rainbows cause those are the types of emails i sent to my spam folder (sorry to those of you who got sent there who are now reading my emails). I learned this week that i need to be more diligent in my scripture study. But it was so sweet i have been praying this whole week and focusing my thoughts and study on whats holding me back from being a better missionary. Then during choir the leader or whatever spoke and I swear it felt that he was looking right at me and it was only us two in the room and he said essentially that dont worry so much on what you need to do, but focus on whom youre trying to become more like, which is our savior. he then said, still looking at what felt like right into my soul. "You are here, a mission is a finish line in itsself, the work wont be easy and you will need to grow, but just remember that getting here on a mission is a victory in and of itself". WOW.It felt like an answer to prayer right then. I started crying in the midle of choir because I felt my saviors love for me right then and right there. I KNOW that he loves me, and that he loves you. he cares about you and is mindful of you right this second. anyways thats the story.
- Scripture I wanna share this week: Alma 26:37 from the book of mormon. God is mindful of you in all your struggles and trials.
- Ummm idk what else to say, send me questions u want me to answer next week i guess lmao.
- ALSO, went through the temple again last week and WOW. (if ur not a member and wanna learn more about the temple and ur reading this lmk and i can send a few people your way wink wink)
-Apparently in germany instead if saying wow they make like a mini explosion noise that sounds like bwoaaa and i think its super funny, 3 out of the 4 teachers I have said they heard it all the time on their missions but one said he rarely heard it (german speakers pls comfirm or deny)
Anyway I love you all and wish you the best!!
with much love
Elder Miner
