"MEEK STAYS IN MINGO"
ayy family and frienddddddssss
Another week out here in the valley
of Mingo went great! My bag is lost for good and I have just had to accept it
haha pretty lame of the people. There wasn’t even anything worth money lol just
my patriarchal blessing and scriptures and camera. But thank you for the
prayers!!! Transfer calls were this week and our entire zone is staying the
same basically besides they are replacing Tulsa YSA with sisters but me and
Elder Nau are staying.
I realized that satan really
attacks you when you start to have success and are working hard because he
feels threatened. It’s in times of success and happiness when if we can humble
ourselves to stay close to the Lord we will have an awesome cycle of learning
and growth without having to be humbled. "Blessed are they that humble
themselves without being compelled to be humble." I dont like being compelled to be
humbled by the Lord haha.
This week was super cool though.
Elder D. Todd Christofferson visited our area and spoke to the youth and also to
our mission and the Oklahoma City Mission. So crazy to get to hug an apostle of
the Lord and also I got to see my long lost friends Landon Munson and Abii
Liddell serving in the Oklahoma City Mission. Haha it was so weird for me when
they like walked through the doors it felt like a dream to see a familiar face.
They are both doing so great and it was a real lift to my spirits to see them.
Our investigators are doing well
and we continue to have a lot of success finding people! La'Asia didn’t get
baptized because the building was being used because an apostle was here. She
will be baptized next Saturday by Elder Nau though! So exciting. A cool
experience I had was teaching this lady named Ladonna. She let us in
her house one day after she requested a bible online. She was extremely scared
and not very sure about Mormons etc. But when we opened up and told her that we
leave our families etc. just to bring the gospel to her she started to tear up
and she looked at me and she was like "So did ya’ll graduate college and
stuff then?" and I was like no I’m 19 she lost it crying and now she calls
us her babies lol and I predict she will be baptized soon! I love getting to
change so many peoples’ lives!
A quick thought for you all that I
learned from Elder Christofferson. Our whole purpose in coming to earth was to
repent. Repent meaning to become closer to how Christ lives, I know that
whoever is reading this isn’t perfect, haha none of us are so in the words of
Elder Cristofferson "REPENT" haha change! Become better. Become more
like our Father in Heaven. If we aren’t doing that then why did we ever even
leave the pre-mortal existence.
I am now working on daily
repentance haha love you all
