Hey family,
What a week
it has been. This week seemed a little
long because we spent a lot of time entering all of the teaching records from
our area book to our iPads. It is just a
long hard progress but when it's done our lives will be so much easier.
Life for me
continues to go well. I am growing to
love this ward more and more each week. Yesterday was a little weird at church because
not a single member of the bishopric was there. I guess
the Stake Presidency held a meeting during our sacrament meeting. But church was
still
fabulous.
We sadly
didn't have any investigators at church this week. It was not from a lack of trying though. But we have some amazing plans for the coming
week. One thing that as a mission we are
struggling with is having investigators at sacrament meeting. It is scary how normal it is to have Sunday as
just another working day. My Mission President
has sent
out several emails about how we need to focus on getting people to church and I
plan on doing that this next week. My
companion and I have set some pretty big goals for the coming week and I am excited
to see what happens!
I have put
some serious prayer & faith into them and they start tonight so here we go.
I have very
little time but I wanted to share a little quote that I
found in my
studies this week and has help me immensely.
We Are Not
Alone “There is no physical pain, no spiritual wound, no anguish of soul or heartache,
no infirmity or weakness you or I ever confront in mortality that the Savior
did not experience first. In a moment of weakness we may cry out, ‘No one knows
what it is like. No one understands.’ But the Son of God perfectly knows and
understands, for
He has felt
and borne our individual burdens.” The lord knows us each on a personal level
and also knows how to help us with truly anything and I am figuring out that sometimes
we just need to open up our hearts and talk with him! Life sometimes just isn't all that easy but
with the savior’s help I am learning how to just keep my mind on the work, smile,
and go for it! Ha sorry this probably doesn't make sense but I just love my
savior. Learn to rely on him and tell
him everything.
I hope you
all had an amazing week. Mine was
wet! It rained hard every single day
this past week and is raining as I write this.
I love you
all thanks for everything,
Love Elder
Roper
