This weeks email is gonna be shorter cause tbh not much has happened.
- classes are fun
- my german is rad and im learning so much
- my district has dope handshakes
-i got a haircut (literally the most exciting part of my week)
Story time: (skip if ur in a rush lmao)
anyways i got a haircut this week and I was talking to my barber his name is jay, anyways jay is just one of those people that you meet and you love him. hes a shorter bald man and by shorter i mean my height lmao. He turned out to have lived in arizona for 26 years when he was younger and he was talking about what mesa was like when he was younger versus what its like now. But he was just giving me advice on my hair but its like one of those things where it really was about something else. His hair advice was about my mission. he told me to make sure that I put in effort every day and that would mean different things at different times. He told me that no matter how long or short my hair was (no matter how strong your testimony) dont forget to look your best (always keep trying in the gospel). I dont know if any of this makes sense bu Jay just spoke to me. What a G. He cut my hair pretty short and took some of the weight out of it. usually haircuts at the mtc are 15 minutes but mine was like half an hour and he was just giving me life advice. I seriously was about to cry he spoke to my soul. needless to say I love Jay. he said hair or no hair (hes bald) who you are is who you are and the only thing we can do it work on ourselves till we get better.
Okay back to the email.
- Elder Carlos A. Godoy spoke to us yesterday and he shared his conversion story and it was so powerful. he shared that "The Lord is preparing you to teach those who are lost, but who are not lost to him" and that is so powerful. I know that no one is lost unto Christ and that he invites us to all come unto him. I know that God loves you, not in the abstract god loves everyone, but in a very real and personal way. he knows your name and knows your pains and struggles and trials. Really really good talk.
- Life is super fire I love you all
Scripture: James 1:22- "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, decieving your own selves" If you have faith in christ DO something about it!! Share a scripture with someone this week!
give my love to all,
Elder Miner
