A Missionary's Work: The Change From Routine to a Meaningful Lesson

2/12/2018

Hey guys this week flew by once again haha! It just goes faster everyday even when its a hard day. Kinda like what people told me when I was a kid that its just flies by... totoo its true! We played some bball this morning with about 16 missionaries and I got to practice my wresting with a 6'7" Missionary that was fun haha I need a real wrestler haha! then this week we also saw a little girl at a birthday party take a takila shot mixed with juice (#keepoutofreachofchildrenorbetterdon'tdrink) then a drunk guy kissed our hands after our visit to a members house. Those are our adventures this week haha! This week I had a cool experience. We went on splits (going and working with members, so my companion was with one member and I with another doing missionary work) and Me and one member went to a members house to share with him. We started and it felt kinda like a routine for him and me in teaching, then I thought about what these messages are for, to help people or help come closer to our savior. So I then thought about what he needs to feel loved and thats when the lesson changed it wasn't just a routine thing it was now for a real person with a life, concerns, and as a child of God. the message turned around because of how we were able to love that person and really see them as he really is... a child of God. Thats how important each person is, level...very important. If God loves us a ton then shouldn't we do the same and love others? yes we should and I know it'll really help them and not just end up being words in and out ears but feeling from one to  another. Well love you guys and hopefully this little experience is cool or uplifting for you guys as much as it was for me. seeya'll next week!
