Week 78 - 4-13-20
Typical P-day stuck inside. After we got ready we hurried and went shopping for the week. After that we had a video call with the District and played "two truths and a lie". Then we went on a hike at Crystal Springs Reservation, It was so pretty. While I was there I ended up just sitting on a rock and said a little prayer. It was so peaceful and so heartwarming. The rest of the day we didn’t do much. We were inside the apt. The last hour of the day, we had a Mission Wife FHE, it was pretty fun.
Well Tuesday through the rest of the week was pretty much full of calling people (members, people taught in the past, friends currently being taught) we are slowly getting to know the members more. Families we met with (the Aldrichs, the Coats, the Bells, and the Wikles). For the people we are teaching (Gail, Betty Ma, and Niel). We also have been in contact with a lot of the others we are teaching. On Tuesday and Thursday we now do Zoom lessons with anyone who is willing to join (for the Methuen Ward). The first one we only had a couple people join but the second one we had around 15!!! It was so cool, and it will only get better. Wednesday we have a Mission Wide Fireside, and on Sunday we do Mission wide Sacrament Meeting. This week we had Elder and Sister Costa join us. Elder Costa is a Emeritus 70! He was also in the same ward as my Mission President when my President was a boy! Thursday we did a weird exchange with the Lynn Elders. Basically we did an hour video call one on one with them.
My emails may be like this for the coming weeks, we aren't doing as much as we were (actively) before. We are still working hard but it's all from technology! It is pretty good, and we have found a few people who are interested in learning more!
Mosiah 27:16
"16 Now I say unto thee: Go, and remember the captivity of thy fathers in the land of Helam, and in the land of Nephi; and remember how great things he has done for them; for they were in bondage, and he has delivered them. And now I say unto thee, Alma, go thy way, and seek to destroy the church no more, that their prayers may be answered, and this even if thou wilt of thyself be cast off."
I love this, after many years of Alma the Younger preaching against his father Alma and the Church if God, an Angel appears to him and the sons of Mosiah to tell them to "seek to destroy the Church no more". After wards the Angel still gave them their agency to still choose to not believe. In life this is how it is, we may see Gods hand in our life but we still have our agency to believe in him or not. This is all because God loves us and gives us our freedom. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
