{Letter #28} 10 Minutes
JUNE 28, 2021
Hey everyone!! I hope you're all doing well! A lot has happened in the past couple of weeks but here are some of the big highlights:
-I got transferred! Back to my greenie area (the area I started in)! Except, now instead of just covering half the Spanish ward, we also cover the other 6 English wards in the stake. My companion and I both transferred into the area together (aka a whitewash) so it's been super crazy but sooo fun!
-I gave my first talk in Spanish!! Due to some miscommunication, we ended up having 15 minutes before the meeting to prepare for the 10 minute talk 🤣 It was wild
-biking!! Yes, I'm still in a biking area and lemme tell ya-for being in a valley our area is not very flat. As in our stake is literally a hill and we live at the bottom of it haha... Even though we kinda die a little bit every day, it's honestly so fun
Spiritual thought:
I was thinking a lot this week about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. We hear so often that we need to apply the Atonement of Christ in our lives. But what does that really mean? To me, I think it means change. Change for the better. Allowing ourselves to learn and improve. Even if we may not exactly recognize it as that in the moment, that's what it is!
I've seen that so much on the mission. Not just in investigators on their journey on the covenant path as they are able to repent and change their lives, but also (well, especially) in my own life. If you had told me a few years ago that I'd be in Utah serving my mission and giving a talk in Spanish, I probably would have laughed at you! But now, I've been able to learn and grow little by little to where I am today! I still have A LOT to learn, but I'm so grateful to know that I can. That I don't have to be the same as I was yesterday.
Anyways, I hope you all have an amazing week!! Let me know how you're doing :)
Love you all!
