So this week was a slow week for elder
mitchell and myself it felt like we couldnt get anything going and
nobody had the time to meet with us. but we still pushed and we will for
sure be doing more this week. I never want a week like this one again!
We are still focussing a lot on the real growth of the branch but we
still want to see a lot of investigators so it is just trying to find
the balance between the two! I just hope that i can be a true example
and leader to help this area progress and to be a blessing not a burden!
So
something that i thought was really cool that i have learned recently
is found in D&C 50:24. Do you remember the Saying "focus on the next
200 ft". As i read that i just thought instantly about baseball and all
the mental training that we did! it applies really well! in a car at
night we only see roughly 200 ft ahead of us but when we reach that 200
ft there is a next 200 ft all the way until the "perfect day" or in
other words the sun comes up and we have the whole road visible infront
of us! the same with the gospel, we gain more and more light as we
continue in God. But if we stop we lose light and will never gain the
next "200 ft" or more light! untill that perfect day which is the day
that our Savior and Redeemer will come and reign personally upon the
earth! I am truly grateful for baseball and football and all the things
that i learned at controling what i can control. the mental game is as
much of a part of a mission as it is in sports and i am so happy i was
able to gain some of the mental training before and i continue to work
on it still out here in the mission field!
That was basically
my week hopefully a better working week for me but it is still good! im
on the down hill slope still working hard! i love you and hope you have a
great week!
Love your Elder
