The Storm and Satisfaction (8/19/2019)
Dear friends and family,
Yesterday
we saw a ridiculous heavy storm come in and flood some streets. It also
knocked a huge branch over a parked car across from our apartment.
Pictures below tell the story better than I could.
We
cleaned up the baptismal font on Wednesday for a chapel tour (it was
not in good shape and as pictured below we were ill-equipped for it but
we did it anyway). Sadly he did not make it for the tour as he thought
it was supposed to be for another evening...
Also
yesterday, we had a bedbug scare. One of the bishopric saw one on me
and church and sent us home. We put our clothes in the dryer and
everything but we haven't seen hide nor hair of any other bedbugs so we
don't know whether it actually came from us. No clue where it would have
come from either as we hadn't been in any homes recently.
I
learned this week about not being "satisfied". It seems that there's
part of me that's content with what I've gained from my mission and just
wants to be done and move on, go to school, get a job, start dating,
etc.. But I didn't set out to do this just so I could get benefits and
get myself to whatever point I feel happy at. I came here to serve God
and my fellow people. So that's what I'll do.
Still though, seeing endless profile pictures of RMs I know with their new girlfriends/fiancée's is just... 😵
What
else has happened? Like I said last week these weeks feel like 3 or 4
days to me. It's weird. I have become more and more addicted to BYU
talks. One I highly reccomend is this one: https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/david-l-paulsen/joseph-smith-problem-evil/
The Restoration is real. It's true. And those who don't believe aren't fools, they're just incorrect.
Trust in God.
Love,
