Hello everyone!! This past week was pretty slow and not a ton to talk about. But we have been constantly been going over the less actives that live here in Mescalero, and finding some success! We went to a house that was on the list and started talking to this guy, and he actually came outside and talked with us for 45 minutes....which is SUPER RARE out here! Most of the time people think that we are the Cops, FBI, or Jdubs haha and they don't answer the door.... But we were talking to this guy and found out that he is actaully a baptized member, but just hasn't had his records moved over here yet! He was a pretty sweet guy!!
This week we had the chance to watch President Monson's Funeral and it was a great experience! I loved what his daughter spoke on.....she talked about how President Monson always said that true happiness came when you are serving you God. When you serve others you are serving you God.
And I have found that to be true in the 6 months that I have been out here! It is not all sunshine and rainbows somedays, and I have had some of the hardest days of my life out here, but I have also had some of the best days out here!! They come when you are seeking out service for others and doing the little things. This gospel isn't about all of the complex things.....it's about going to church, reading your scriptures, helping that elderly person shovel the snow off of their driveway. When we do the simple things, we find joy.
I hope you all have had a killer week!!
Sending love from NM.
