This week was unique! It all started last pday when we were at a store. We were walking around the store when we heard some dude peel out then we heard a ton of crashes. Apparently this guy had a trailer hooked to his car and was just smashing into other cars in the parking lot. He hit about 14 cars. Our car was pretty far from the entrance so we thought it was okay.... nahh he hit our bumper and wrecked it. (See pics) crazy day.
Elder Owens and I also moved apartments for a couple days because they thought we had Covid. We both had tiny sore throats. So we moved to some apartments close to the Los Angeles temple, but we got cleared to go back to our original apartment today. So super happy that we can see other missionaries again!
Awesome miracle this week! I haven't talked about Jann and Diane in a couple weeks, because we haven't had contact with them in awhile. They've been super busy....but this week we met with them! Friday we met with just Jann and taught him the whole first lesson and it was amazing. Then yesterday we met with both of them and retaught the first lesson about The Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Spirit was so strong and it was amazing. They said they were going to read every day and really pray about it. Awesome how the Spirit can help people find motivation to talk to our Heavenly Father through prayer and actively listen to Heavenly Father's words through sincere scripture study.
One of my favorites quotes I heard from John Bytheway "If you want to speak with God you pray. If you want God to speak with you you read your scriptures." I love it. It's that simple!
There was one thing I was studying this week in the teachings of President Hinckley that really stood out to me. I read "There is a sad tendency in our world today for persons to cut one another down. Did you ever realize that it does not take very much in the way of brainpower to make remarks that may wound another? Try the opposite of that. Try handing out compliments. …"
It's a sad thing but it's so true. I've seen it in my own life. Instead of putting others down with harsh words and letting satan cause conflict between others let's try to compliment and uplift others. Everyone's struggling with something in their lives so let's be a little more Christlike. Compliment someone. I promise it'll not only brighten their day but it will brighten your day as well. It will make our Heavenly Father so happy!
