A Missionary's Work: Connect-It

1/15/2018

Hey Guys sorry I wasn't able to email yesterday so I got permission to email today. 

So what even happened this week...Well I had my b-day now i'm the big, old 20, I started my diet plan (thanks mom), and learned how to make yourself pass out. Fun week so far haha anyway with the little time left that I have I'll just share something I learned this week that helped me out. So this week as we went through the regular routine of teaching people and that's how it felt for me, a routine. My focus of helping people had fell into a routine or rut. So as I thought about that and pondered my purpose here again, I realized that things only really became hard or like a rut or not enjoyable when I was thinking about me. What I mean is the difference of focusing on me or others. So as I pondered I realized that the whole purpose of being out here is to just help people in their connection with God. It never was about that dumb argument over what basketball team is better with your companion or that you feel sick or anything, it's all about how to serve, love , and help others come closer to God. When I started to realize this all other small problems left and I feel real joy in focusing on how to help them. There really is a connection that we miss sometimes with God and sometimes we're the ones who can recognize and help others gain or grow that connection. 

Well love you Guys take care and seeya in about 6-ish months!
