Faith, Service and More Faith

Monday: My first preparation day activity here in Paso was pretty good! We played some basketball, a little bit of soccer, then pickle ball!!!! That night we street contacted a little bit, then decided to knock 2 doors. First door was super nice, talked for a good minute or so, then they closed the door... Second door opened said come back tomorrow then shut it.

Tuesday: District Council was great! We talked a lot about Faith and the importance of praying with the faith that God will answer our prayers! I really love this quote we talked about by Elder Ciro Shmeil in Apr. 2021, "Through prayer and scripture study, the Lord has always given me the strength to act and endure one more day, one more week, and to try one more time" Then we helped Cowboy Larry with some service and unfortunately had members show up to do a lesson that fell through...

Wednesday: We had an awesome lesson with Matthew about prayer and the importance of having a relationship with our Heavenly Father! That night we set up appointments with Javier, Maria, and Cristy!

Thursday: Interviews day!!! Had a great lunch, then President and Sister Carter led a discussion on how to get more out of our studies and the importance of having great studies! I love meeting with President Carter and gaining insights on how to become a better missionary!! That night we helped a lady move and then I got to call Bryce for his birthday!!!! 

Friday: We did more service today, pulled lots of weeds, and painted a nice fence!! Then we walked the streets of downtown Paso Robles! Which may seem like there's not a lot of people here and so it wouldn't be busy, but it was!! So many people there, so many people talked to, and we found one person!!! One, we met on the street, but he lives in our apartment complex, and wants us to share Christ centered messages with his family!!!! 

Saturday: Day full of Service! Helped a lady named Katie move, pulled weeds for Peggy's son, stacked wood for Brother Brimhall, and last but not least helped another lady move! 

Sunday: Church was great, I loved the come follow me lesson that Brother De Graw focused on having faith to see the miracles happen in our lives! Then we had a great dinner with the Reamer family!! 

Turns out this week I read a lot about Faith, talked a lot about Faith, and prayed a lot for Faith! "We need to ask in faith to know the will of the Lord and accept that the Lord knows what is better for us." I hope you all will focus more on faith this week and pray to know that whatever happens it’s all part of God's plan for us all!!

Love you all, hope this is another great week for you!!!!
