Idaho potatoes are REAL
How is everyone doing? I pray for you all continually and hope you are doing GREAT!
Alright kind of a confusing subject for this email but let me just say...the potatoes here do not even compete to the ones from Idaho. Sooooo people back in Idaho please eat a REAL potato for me okay?:) I get asked from everyone here if you can tell a difference and oh...you totally can and its actually really sad!
The mission has been going great! The weather down here is FANTASTIC and I love it so much! I am finally getting in the groove of missionary life and it honestly is the best life! I think I would say my favorite thing about being a missionary is my focus is on other people every single day. I am here to serve other people and I love that my purpose is just that. Making people happy is my favorite thing to do and if I get to do that AND teach them the gospel...the best thing ever!!! My testimony of how true this gospel really is has been strengthened so much and I can't wait for all the other ways it is going to grow too! The Baytown area is full of small miracles every day so the work is moving forward you guys!!! GOD IS REAL!!!!
One thing I learned from my personal study this week that I wanted to share with you guys is this: Don't ask questions when we are commanded to do something and do it happily!
In 1 Nephi 17, Nephi is commanded to build a ship. Let's take a closer look at this shall we? Nephi has never built a boat let alone lived by the water. They have been traveling for many years and finally reached the place they were told to go. What did the Lord command Nephi to do?
Build a ship and sail across the sea.
I don't know about you but I am not quite sure how I would have reacted but the reason I chose to share this is because of Nephi's reaction. He didn't complain, get angry, or throw a fit. He immediately asked what he needed to do without asking questions. I know that everyone can benefit from having this attitude...GO WITH THE FLOW WITH A POSITIVE ATTITUDE!💛
