Email from Dec 2

This week has been strange. It's been calm. Too calm. Stuff has happened, but everything has remained calm. I'm not sure if i like it. I feel like next week will hit me and it'll be such a big surprise. Really, i'm nervous to leave the office because i won't have so much stuff occupying my mind all the time. I'll be 100% focused on preaching the gospel. I do know where i'm going. I've known for a little more than 2 weeks where i'll be going. I pretty much chose the area where i'll be going. It'll be hot and far from the capital. I'll tell you where in like 2 weeks when i'm out in the area after changes.

It's been a really good week. The work is progressing nicely. Now, there's a new initiative by the called 'He is the Gift'. Find it, watch it, and share it. It's a great video! i love it and use it all the time. It brings the Spirit in really strong when we share it with the people. Watching that video allowed me to put a baptismal date with an investigator for the 14th. When the Spirit is strong, people just can't reject baptism and then it's all about them not losing that feeling and enjoying it always. Baptism is so beautiful. How someone can change their life in the matter of weeks and follow more correctly the pathway to God. I'm so thankful for each person that I've helped in this journey.

Right now, i'm in my last five months of the mission. I don't want it to end. That day will be super hard. It'll be weird too because i'll probably fly solo from here to Georgia. A lot of time to reflect. But, i'm not focusing on the end. As a wise man said, 'Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.' I have five months to get more involved and put everything into practice. I'll have a lot of those opportunities between now and the end. President says that i'll probably train again before leaving the mission. That sounds good to me. Training is super fun and it's easy to see fruits of it.

This email is awful. I just can't think of what's happened in this week. Maybe that's because i've slacked so much on writing in my journal. Without writing it, i forget it. I should probably do better at that.

So, this email has just been to say that i'm still alive. Also, i won't write for like 2 weeks. I just won't have internet time. Don't be worried, i'll be alive. It's just a weird transaction from the office to the field. Also, i'll have no P-Day next week, so that'll be exhausting!!

Something fun. As a mission, we have to read Enos every day, the whole chapter. That chapter is amazing. It's so incredible. Every time i read it, i feel the Spirit. Sharing it with investigators is also truly amazing because it's showing how you must pray with faith and answers come. I love it. I'd recommend doing the same thing.

Love y'all!
