Welcome everyone, how are you all?! Let me know!
This week was full of fun-ness and also just basic missionary stuff so here's what happened.
Tuesday, basically our entire day fell through #sad but we left for Bucharest that night to go to zone conference so it was all good. Sleeper trains are not super fun, but going to zone conference is awesome, so they are worth it.
Zone conference was super amazing. I also got to have interviews with my president and his wife which was super amazing. I always hear what I need to hear so it's super awesome.
The rest of the week was pretty basic, except Thursday and Friday were galentines day and Valentines Day and anyone who knows me knows I hate Valentines Day so we celebrated galentines day and got some sparkling cider and made a fun meal.
Then on Valentines day we made waffles and had a fun night, so overall pretty good. We decorated our apartment too so it was cute.
Saturday and Sunday were kinda slow work wise. Sunday though we saw some cool miracles! We found some pretty amazing people and we have some hope and faith for them so it'll be super good.
All in all, good basic week!
Spiritual thought :
I read the talk this week "Jesus Christ at the Center of our Lives" in the October 2024 general conference. This quote is kinda long but I really liked it, it says "when confronted with challenges, it’s easy to become engrossed in our difficulties. However, Jesus Christ exemplified the power of focusing on His Father, offering gratitude, and acknowledging that solutions to our trials do not always lie within ourselves, but with God. When we encounter difficulties, we naturally tend to concentrate on the obstacles we face. Our challenges are tangible and command our attention, yet the principle of surmounting them is in our focus. By placing Christ at the core of our thoughts and deeds, we align ourselves with His outlook and strength. This adjustment does not discount our struggles; instead, it helps us to navigate through them under divine guidance."
I know I can get sometimes engrossed in my trials and think about the bad and that only makes it worse. Focusing on the good and focusing on Christ will help us have a better outlook when things aren't quite going our way. Focusing on God's hand and gratitude will always make the trials seem a little lighter. I invite you all to listen to this talk this week, it was amazing!
Sorry for the long and boring email, love you all!
