This week has been full of lots of driving and trying to find a bunch of less actives here in my area!! Remember like 3 months ago when I said I was driving a lot....well that's nothing compared to now ha!! We live 30 minutes out of my area because since I am not Native American, we are not allowed to live on the Reservation! Also like every single house out here is probably a mile a part....thank goodness Elder Batty has GPS!! Even then sometimes we are completely lost haha!! A couple days ago, we were trying to find this house and the GPS took us up into the mountains on this very random road and who knows where we were heading but about 2 miles up the road we found this sweet lake that was frozen over! So we actually drove up there yesterday for P-Day and wandered around and had a little picnic!! It is Beautiful out here! Even though there isn't much snow...still reminds me of home!!
This week we had a pretty cool experience to take a less active member some groceries! We were on exchanges with the Ruidoso Elders and we were going through our list of names, and ended up visiting her! We showed up and gave her a spiritual thought and invited her to church! We didn't know that she walks every where.......which is like 13 miles to church!! But she came to church! She talked to a member a little and we found out that she was without food! So later that day we went with Bro. Woody to get some food and me and Elder Batty got to take it to her! We showed up with TONS of food and the look her 5 little boys faces made my whole year.
It showed me that no matter what we have in life we should be grateful for. There are people out n the world that are in need of many things and even just a loaf of bread will put the biggest grin on their face!! I am so grateful for the chances like that, that I have been able to have on my mission!
Hope you all haven't broke your New Years Resolutions quite yet and keep them!! If you haven't already I would challenge you all to set a Spiritual Goal..... whether it be Finish the Book of Mormon, or go to the temple at least once a week! I promised that always keeping an eye single to the Glory of God will bless you life and make this year better!!
I am so grateful for this gospel and especially the opportunity that I have to be a missionary.
Love you bye
-Elder Rose
