He Will Make Weaknesses Become Strengths

Aloha!

This week was pretty good!  It was slow though.

On Monday for P-Day, we went to the driving range and hit golf balls, I did terrible...I cant hit a darn thing! It was fun though.  First time playing golf - thinking about doing it again.

Tuesday we had a lesson with Hamid.  Elder Garrett shared what he has learned on his mission and also Brother Kettley explained to him the importance of the Gospel and why we need it in our lives since he is having a hard time understanding why we need to join the church. Hopefully we can resolve his concern!

Wednesday we didn't teach Henry again....hopefully we can this Wednesday, fingers crossed!  We did a lot of people stopbys, but no one was home.  We did see a less active who just got out of the hospital the day before.  It was a good visit.  We reassured her that she is given trials for a reason and that God will bless her because she endured thru them.  I almost got all choked up when I said that. We also had that morning, a worldwide missionary broadcast.  It was great!  We heard from L.Whitney Clayton,  David A. Bednar and Elder Oaks.  Awesome trainings!  I forgot my notes at home, but it really helped me in my missionary work!

Thursday - Friday we had district meeting on Thursday and training on the new program.  We did a lot of role plays so we can better understand it!  And then for the rest of the week we did a lot of stopbys,  We had dinner with Rich - we went to Famous Daves, soooooo good!  And then we set some appointments with a few less actives for this week!  Soo excited!

So, not a great week, but we are striving to work hard everyday.  Our sicknesses held us back, but we are on the road to victory!

OHHH!! I forgot to mention, and it was the best part of my week, we went to the temple!  I loved it! I always looove going to the temple.  I enjoy it every time I go there!

Thought: This week I have been focusing on working on my weaknesses, just like it says in Ether 12:27 - He will make weaknesses become strengths, and they will humble you.  Working on weaknesses will make them into strengths. We all have something that we can work on each day!  So, strive to do so everyday and I promise that you will see a difference in your self.

I love you all! Have a great week!
