BUSY BUSY BUSY

 This week has been the busiest week of my mission so far!! Constantly doing stuff!! We did service close to maybe 4 hours or more a day!! What a blessing that was to get out and do things while also finding and inviting people to hear a message and/or receive a Book of Mormon! We have a couple potentials now! And we ended up doing service for 2 new people this week! We invited them to church as well and they had things going on but are open to coming! We were able to work with a charity and help them get started in a new building! We met families that benefit from the charity and were able to speak with them! We are going again this week to interact with them! This could be a really great chance to invite and to find!! 

We met with a sister in our ward and we will help her with service but she loves talking and made us dinner! Right after we went to a youths house who has his mom in the hospital right now and spoke with him for about an hour! Him and His mom really appreciated it! His name is Kyle and he is from Russia!! 

Thursday we had our Distirct Council and it was Amazing!! We had a training on obedience! That was super important and had such a great discussion and conversation about it! I felt like we should sacrifce things all individually for obedience! So we set those goals for this week and were excited to keep each other accountable! There was a quote I loved from a talk i read! It was 

" Maybe the journey isnt about becoming anything maybe it's about un-becoming everything that isnt really you so you can become who you where meant to be in the first place" 

I love this because especially on a mission people think oh you need to change and become better and yes that's true in a sense. But I took this in the way of we should never let go of who we are! We are who we are! Our talents our personality was given to us by God! But He expects us and will help us change our habits, mindset, spirituality etc. And instead of the word change, I love upgrade! WE UPGRADE OURSELVES TO BECOME BETTER AND MORE LIKE CHRIST!! I love this analogy I heard, apps have bugs and things that need to be fixed and sometimes those apps need to be completely changed but MOST of the time they just need to be upgraded or updated to a better version to fix those bugs and problems and to make it better! THATS USSSSS!! We have bugs or trials and sins and weakness but we can upgrade and become better and stronger!! 

Friday was Elder Larson's birthday!! So we got bombarded with treats and dinners haha the last 9 days we have had dinners! We love our ward and their missionary efforts and their mindset of being missionaries too!! 

Saturday was a great day!! We had NOAH'S BAPTISM!! Noah is someone the Sisters have been teaching. We got to sit in on a couple lessons and be there but, he was so committed to the gospel. He is about 16 years old and it has changed his life and his family’s life! His mom is very interested and will probably be interested in becoming a member soon! She loves all the support and love and she can see the change in her son's countenance!! 

After his baptism we were able to do service for a lady, Sarah! She is moving and needed help! She has a son with special needs and it was so fun to be around him, His name is Josh and he helped us move things! Him and I became pretty tight even to the point where when we were leaving he was handcuffing me and putting me into his car because I was under arrest. HAHA! He is the cutest thing and we had so much fun!! The mom really appreciated that and I told her we would love to help any other way we can and invited them to hear a message she said she would love too once they get settled!! We received 2 referrals last week and 1 today! So we will be visiting them this upcoming week and we messaged the 2 earlier and they want us over so this will he a great opportunity!! 

We started a new way of finding on Facebook! We add people in our area to facebook then send them a 20 second video of explaining who we are and what we’re doing, then inviting them to hear a message!! And if they respond and say yes we send then a 2 min video or call and talk with them. This past week we started and we understand how its suposoed to work. We did it to 4 people but we found a better way to do it! Definitely will keep you posted!! OKAYYYYY A GREAT TALK TO LISTEN TO, HERE WE GO...

READ ITTTTT!!! I was able to study alot in 1 Nephi this week as well with in Matthew 

and it's so fun to read the scriptures in Matthew after watching The Chosen! You understand and can visualize many many things in the Bible now!! There are so many great things I want to share. When I have more time, I promise I will set aside time next week to share those great and marvelous things! 

I love you all so very much!! Keep being you and striving to be the best you can!! 

Love, Elder Wold
