Hey guys this week was fun though not a ton happened except for the 45 celsius so super hot! but we're still happy :) so I don't have tons of time today but I do want to say we're doing pretty good got to taste new fruits and make homemade trail mix and cook some new foods which is great!
Anyway I think what came up a lot this week were two things 1: be understanding to other people and 2: enjoy "this moment." So in the mission there's a period (at least that's what others say) that when a missionary is close to going home he gets "trunky" or in other words kinda ready to go home and gets lazy. I really don't want that to ever happen so I said to my companion, "lets work even harder!" And in doing so I kinda lost the enjoyment of the service that we're doing and became less understanding of people's needs and weaknesses. As I realized what was happening, I made an adjustment to change. I sometimes forget when I get super focused on things to remember nobody's perfect and to have fun or enjoy. You can ask any of my wrestling coaches there were soooo many times I was so focused that I wasn't enjoying it. Now when I think about it what's the use of memories and doing good if you don't just love and enjoy it right now. It's already a short life that we're meant to feel joy and enjoy. Just a little thing from this week but important to me so I'll see ya'll again next week love ya'll!!!
