Week 48

Hey everyone. Another week gone here in Georgia.

This week was a good one! We were able to help this couple move into our ward. They are moving here all the way from Idaho. It was very fun. I need to do a few more pushups though cause some of that stuff was heavy. They're so sweet though and we are excited to have them in our ward. 

This week we were able to get in contact with a guy named David that used to be taught by missionaries. He is from Liberia and he's super cool. He said, "Africa is way better than Georgia" lol.

We had interviews with President and Sister Marsh this week! They went really well. It's crazy to think that these are his last interviews since he is leaving the beginning of July. So sad. 

I also saw my first firefly of this year! It was very exciting because it means summer is officially here!

Yesterday we planned a 5th Sunday missionary devotional over zoom call for our ward. We asked a couple people from the ward to speak and we spoke as well and it went so well! We were really excited because the other 2 members spoke about everything we wanted them to and we didnt even ask for them to say those things! So it was a success and we were very happy with how it turned out. A nice family also had us over for sacrament.

We had some outside time yesterday and we decided to walk around downtown Lawrenceville and look at all the little shops. It has been the most beautiful weather lately and it was so nice. As we were walking, this lady starts yelling at us from across this intersection and telling us to be careful because there are protests just 2 blocks down. She tells us we should pray for the town that it will stay safe so we told her we would and she says "no let's do it right now" so shes just yelling her prayer across this intersection so we prayed with her there lol. I love the south. 

A verse that has helped me mucho this week is Mosiah 24:15 

"And now it came to pass that the burdens which were laid upon Alma and his brethren were made light; yea, the Lord did strengthen them that they could bear up their burdens with ease, and they did submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord"

Being on a mission during this virus is not easy and there are struggles. But as we submit to the will of the Lord and be cheerful and have patience that He is going to provide for us, our burdens will be made light and everything will be okay. 

Have the best week ever!
