Halla!
This week was legit, we had moves and I got a new companion with me here in the office his name is Elder Farnsworth and he went to Corner Canyon. He's a stud and I'm stoked to get to work with him. We've had some good lessons with the people we're teaching and they're keeping commitments which is the best thing to have as a missionary. Life is good and the grind never stops! We always have a lot of stuff and things to set up and plan for at the beginning of each transfer, so it was a couple late nights at the office and a lot of missed dinners but that's alright. I've developed a new skill, I could find you the cheapest flights to anywhere in Norway in heart beat. We had splits with the boys and it was fun. We grinded and then had kebab and played spike ball at the church. I said goodbye to some of the OGs here on the mission. Elders Meldrum and Judson. Both legends and homies for life! We dropped them off at the airport at like 4:20 am so we had a long day. Then we had to do a bunch of office stuff and then we switched out our van for a new one and she rides nice! Then we had mission leadership council and that was fun, we got some good food and talked about how we can hype up the mission.
I've been reading in Alma this week and I love the insights I get. I was reading about the legendary companionship of Alma and Amulek. They were both studs and great missionaries! Amulek was visited by an angel and told him that a prophet was going to come to him, but it says that he was prompted many times before but he didn't listen because he was busy with other things. I've noticed that even though we are busy with productive things it can be very easy to miss spiritual promptings. There was a story I read about a previous member of the presiding bishopric. His son was killed in a railroad accident and the whole family was distraught and devastated. While the mom was praying one day the son talked to her and said that everything was ok, it was an accident and not to worry! And then he said " tell dad to take time to listen to spiritual promptings, he was to busy with work and things he couldn't hear me!" It made me realize how much we can miss out on if we don't prioritize time each day to listen to the Holy Ghost speaking to us.
Love y'all have a good week 🙌🏽
