Trio Life Part 2

Hey Everyone, this week has been so awesome!

I am still in a Trio until I leave for England, and it has been super fun training for the 3rd time. Also, I just realized that I hit my Year mark a few days ago, so that's wild!

I'll just start off with what happened on Saturday. We walked up to a guy on the street and started talking to him, and he immediately started Bashing. Both of my companions started to argue back a little bit, and it was doing nothing. I just had to swallow my pride, and tell him we had to go but hoped he had a fantastic day. Right after that, We had Elder Smith(Brand New), lead when we were knocking doors. We knocked around 10 doors, and probably 7 or 8 of them slammed shut before we could introduce ourselves. I spent most of the rest of the night trying to keep everyone in high spirits.

 Thinking back on that, and hitting my year mark, I think that the Scripture Alma 31:38 sums up my mission so far. 

Alma 31:38

"38 And the Lord provided for them that they should hunger not, neither should they thirst; yea, and he also gave them strength, that they should suffer no manner of afflictions, save it were swallowed up in the joy of Christ. Now this was according to the prayer of Alma; and this because he prayed in faith.

A mission is hard, but it is all worth it because of the Joy that comes from Jesus Christ. I can't believe I am over halfway done, but I'm excited to try to make this next year even greater than the first.

Also, this upcoming week is going to be Julie's Baptism! We are so excited for her, and watching her Faith grow. I was talking to Elder Lowry and said, "Can you imagine if we hadn't felt prompted to Call Julie the night that we did?" I'm so grateful that the Lord is guiding this work.

There are a ton of other Miracles happening right now, it has been so amazing!
