Week 92 July 20th 2020
     It has been an interesting week for sure! Monday morning we took our car in to have a scratch fixed. We ended up needing to reschedule so we could be able to be with someone that has a car. Wednesday through Friday we the Westerly Elders came up to basically drive us to the Chapel and back. Our apt doesn’t have the best WIFI so it was very helpful! As of Thursday we no longer are over the Ashford Ward, because there are enough missionaries to cover the area!
     We haven't had to many lessons this past week, we still are having good daily lessons with John and he still has a lot of good questions. We have met with Brett and said our goodbyes because he is in Ashford. We had another Good lesson with Jesse about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We met with Sister Cimino to share a message, it was awesome because she is a less active member! We also met with the Allred family. We also had a good lesson with out friend Peg and we talked about the Book of Enos.
     Friday morning a car was finished so we picked up the car and hit the Chapel for studies and then had District Council! Elder Maldonado gave a good training on "Preparing those we teach for Baptism ". On Saturday we drove halfway and gave the Ashford Elders the extra set of keys we had for their area. We then hit up our Chapel to have WIFI for a training with the Zone Leaders for all the District Leaders in our zone.

     Honestly I have been pondering all week on what to share and nothing. At times this happens, but as I just started to type away I am reminded of the story of "The Brother of Jared". The Brother of Jared had so much faith he was able to see the Finger of the Lord! This helped him understand that The Lord had a body of flesh and bone! This is not what I want to share though. The Brother of Jared had three questions when he and his people were trying to cross the great waters. Number one "How will we get there?". Two "How will we get fresh air?" (their ships are describes basically as two plates put together, the one on top is upside down), and question three " How will we have light?". With this the Lord answered in three different ways! The Lord told the Brother of Jared to trust Him, the second He gave him the answer, and the third way was telling him to do what he thinks will work and come back to me. Basically the third way is Christ putting the trust in him! At times we have many questions and go to the Lord in Prayer and we feel as if we haven't been answered.  I invite you to look at what is around you, The Lord answers our prayers in many ways!
