My email subject is a new phrase all the people supposedly say back home. So we have been trying to integrate it here among missionaries without exactly knowing what it means haha. These past few days have been super busy and have flown by! Basically our new schedule is working in the office until lunch and then afterwards if we aren't busy we go out and have lessons. Our new area is huge and it will be really fun working in it. This week we had a couple zone conferences which took up basically all of our day and so I don't have a lot to report up on. Next week we have a baptism which will be really nice! I have only had one lesson with the girl but it will still be fun to see her get baptized! Also there is a family who recently came to church for the first time and loved it. We talked about baptism with them today and they said they would like to get baptized, but just want to think about it a little more. So hopefully within a few months they will get baptized! It's crazy to see how much more open the people are to the gospel, and even though we won't be able to proselyte as much we will probably have a lot more success than we had in my last area. So far I'm loving life and have no complaints!
For my spiritual thought i want to share the thought our president shared in the zone conferences. When thinking about mercy we always think of forgiveness but it can mean a lot more. In 1 Nephi 1:20 it says, And when the Jews heard these things they were angry with him; yea, even as with the prophets of old, whom they had cast out, and stoned, and slain; and they also sought his life, that they might take it away. But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance. Mercy can also have to do with the strength God can give us to deliver us from our problems. We all have the ability to pray and ask God to pour his tender mercy over us so we can have the faith, hope, strength, and spiritual gifts needed to overcome our daily problems. Pray and ask God for the help you need. Love y'all and have a good week!
P.S. shoutout to Ryan and Kylie for getting married today!
