Week 24 June 17, 2024. What a week!

Hey yall! I forgot to send my email today so I'm just writing it really quick, and will give you the highlights.This past week was pretty good and normalWent on exchanges with Elder Mauseth my first companion and trainer, was super fun. We got into a water fight at the apartment and was completely soaked by the end of it We had English classes at the church after that but no one showed up. Rip. Had exchanges with Elder Loose which was super fun also, I was able to get on bikes again and relive the first couple of months on the mission which was refreshing, although it's extremely hot and humid outside now so yeahhhhh. It was also fun cause I got to take the lead in the companionship and contacts that day even though I wasn't in my area. Super fun! Yesterday on P-Day, us and the other Cub Run Elders went fishing out at Burke Lake and it was fun, but we didn't catch any fish and I got completely fried by the sun, I didn't put on sunscreent but it was a good day though overall! At the end we were able to have 2 lessons with 2 inactive members, Miguel and Dolores. We were able to help Miguel get going on the covenant path more since he probably hasn't been to church in a while and doesn't have the best habits with alcohol, so we invited him to read his scriptures everyday, pray everyday, and come to church every weekWith Dolores, she also has a problem with drinking some alcohol or coffee and not really understanding the Word of wisdom, so I was actually able to explain that and read D&C 89:18-21 to her. She understood it more after which was good and why we have those commandments in order to protect us and help us be clean and happy. So this week I read the whole gospel of John just cause I've wanted to learn more about the Savior, His ministry, and His Atonement for us and for me personally. I'm amazed at how the Savior was able to perform so many miracles while being rejected constantly by the Pharisees and even his own people. This verse stuck out to me. John 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." I love the Savior very much and we really can do all things through Him and His atoning sacrifice, it's amazing!Anyway, that's pretty much it, and I've finally joined the Google photos gang after like months of not using it. so here's the treasure trove of pictures of my mission so far Chao! Have a great week!
