Hey Everyone!
Time goes by kind of crazy in here. You get so much done everyday that the weeks go by fast, but at the same time I feel like I've been in here for months. This week we had some native Armenians come in and let us teach them a lesson so that was super cool! The only problem was that I had no idea what they were saying. Literally no idea. I recognized the words "Jesus Christ" then decided just to respond "yes" to every question they asked. I really hope they weren't asking anything important. Anyways, nothing too crazy went down this week. Some days are super fulfilling while other days are more difficult. Either way, I love being a missionary. I love this gospel. I pray for all of you back home every day. I hope you are doing great!
Some Highlights:
• Listening to the BYU game
• Korean Elders singing us goodbye (link at the bottom)
• Patrick Kearon's devotional
• Choir
SPIRITUAL THOUGHT
This week I've been thinking a lot about loneliness. The type of loneliness where you feel like God isn't a part of your life. I know many people feel this way and it is hard. I've been thinking about why it's so difficult for many to believe in the Church. I think it's completely natural to wait for some impactful, spiritual moment before you believe in something. What I have learned is that often times YOU have to take the first step. God can't catch you unless you jump first. He can't help you speak until you open your mouth. You may even have to take a few steps in the water before He parts the sea. Sometimes all it takes is a small expression of faith to feel His love. Choosing to serve a mission was my step in the water. Now I feel God's love every day. Now I know that we are never alone.
