But today is Monday! Which means it's P-Day!
I don't have any great stories for you this week. This week was kind
of a long one honestly. We were going through our investigators and
prayed about them. Most of them haven't met with us in a couple of
weeks. We went around and asked them all if they wanted to continue
meeting with us. Sadly 13 said no. We're left with 5 people and 1 we
can't get a hold of. So right now is a time for focusing and
restarting. We're going to be more efficient with how we plan for our
5, and we're going to hit the streets hard trying to find new people
to teach!
I had a realization this week. Every single person has something hard
they're dealing with every day. Something is always going to be wrong.
No one has everything perfect and is free of struggles. I've always
kind of known this, but it really solidified with me this week. I was
thinking about everything going on with every person I'm meeting with.
I was thinking about all the missionaries I'm in contact with. I was
thinking about my family. I was thinking about myself. Everyone could
point out something that is causing some sort of stress or discomfort.
I was thinking how I get over these types of situations in my own
life. I'm really good at suppressing emotions and feelings. I've done
it for a long time. The only negative side effect to that is
eventually there is too much built up that I can no longer suppress
it. I have found the fix to this situation though! Service. Service is
the only way that I have found that I can stay sane. When I'm helping
others, I'm able to forget about whatever is plaguing my mind. So if
the world also understood this, and we all served each other to get
over our own sad situations, then our world would be such a happier
place! Everyone would be constantly helping one another!Alright, that
was my random thought for the week.
I love you all and hope you all have a great week!
