Week #12

November 10, 2020 

Hello Hello

This week was way crazy. To start the week off, we had elections on Tuesday.  So naturally everything was crazy, but we found a couple people in the phone book so that was good. (I hate calling in the phone book)  We also went out street contacting and found this guy named Ravon. He is a really cool dude with a huge smile on his face all the time.

Wednesday, we had exchanges with the district leader so I was like "oh crap, this is not going to be fun at all!" But it was actually really fun! I learned that our district leader is a really cool kid and we got along pretty well. We did a lot of phone book calling and he showed us how to do it more effectively. Then the day got over and we played a game called "Cover Your Assets."  I won!

Thursday was just the average day. Not a lot of things went on but it was still good. It was good to have a day that wasn't so hectic.

Friday was really good. We were able to find even more people. We found them in the phone book because of the advice that our district leader gave us. So we were pretty happy about that!

Saturday was the best day of the week. On Saturday we did a lot of street contacting. We found this guy named Marc. He was a pretty interesting guy haha. He had a lot of common beliefs as us. He had a lot of thoughts that just didn't make sense though. He said that he got high the night before so we were like oh geez. He also said that the government was tracking him, which I don't think that was the truth, haha. Anyways, it was his birthday and he was outside at the park all alone which was really sad. So we gave him some company and I think he really liked that. We got his number and we will be calling him sometime soon.

Sunday is always my favorite day out of the week because I get to focus more on our Savior and his love for us. What great blessing. He knows everything that we are going through, good or bad. He knows exactly how to help each one of us. In Alma 7:11-12, it talks about how He atoned for our sins and everything hard that we have had to go through. He did this so that he might be able to help us and know exactly how to help us.

Love, Elder Adams

 Week #11

November 2, 2020

Hey everyone! 

This week has been like a roller coaster ride, hahaha! It has been a good though!! On Tuesday we did service, so that kind of set the tone for the week. 

Last Thursday, we had a zone conference where all of missionaries was introduced to a new way of finding people on Facebook! I have enjoyed getting on Facebook and being able to do things a little different because I have really  been struggling with doing the exact same thing everyday.

I have been learning a lot of stuff lately! My studies have  been focused on Christ and the people that we are trying to teach! This has been awesome for me because Christ is the biggest example for anyone! While studying about him, I have been able to focus more on trying to be more like him! While studying more about him, I have realized how much He loves us! Christ loved us so much that he atoned for all of our sins so that we are able to repent and become completely clean again! Without Christ in our life, we would never ever be able to be in the presence of God! Now because of his atonement, we can become clean again to be in the presence of God! I read a quote by Dallin H. Oaks that said "The atonement is not a backup plan. It is the main plan because God knows we are going to fall." This has helped me! I know it can help you too! If you are struggling now or later in life with things that you want to change or repent of, I challenge you to do just that! Because I KNOW it will allow you to become happy again! I mean truly happy! I read a quote from President Nelson that said "The prize is worth the price!" What a beautiful message! I promise you that by doing this you will bring yourself blessings in the future! 

Peace out!
