That basically describes my week pretty well. This week had some crazy moments. To start out the week we went to Portales for District Meeting and afterwards I went on a short exchange with the Portales Spanish missionaries and Elder Pollock went with the English Portales Elders. And I had such a fun time the Elders I went with. They could very well be the funniest companionship in the mission. So that was super fun!! While I was there we were fed by a member in their Branch, which the food was super good..... But there was a catch! They only spoke Spanish, and mi no hablo Español😂 so I sat there confused the whole hour only understanding like half of the conversation. But there was something that really touched me while I was there. When we were getting ready to leave Elder Humphrey had a spiritual thought prepared. And even though couldn't understand like anything that he was saying..... I still felt the spirit and It made me realize that if we don't do the things in life that invite the spirit into our lives can be very confusing. But when we do the things that invite the spirit, we feel the spirit and Heavenly Father's love. I thought that was a cool experience.
The next morning after we got back from Portales a little late we had to get up at 5 to go and get everything ready for the Lubbock parade. We got asked to get about 12 missionaries to ride bikes through the parade for a Cycling Association in town. So that was a hot and wild morning!! If you ever want to see all of Lubbock (normal and crazies) just go to the Downtown parade. The rest of our 4th was pretty normal. Taught some lessons, trying to find people to talk to..... Kinda hard when all of them are drunk, but it was a good time. We ended our 4th by going to a Huge BBQ with some high quality brisket👌
The rest of our week consisted of teaching a bunch of crazy people and having some of the weirdest lessons of my mission. Lots of meal appointments with some sweet families in the ward, and this week we also said goodbye to the Mordue's. They were a senior couple I sent a picture with a few weeks back. They are awesome and we are going to miss them!
Here is a scripture that I have seen play a part in on my mission so far. This is Jesus speaking in Matthew 11:28-30
28 ¶ Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
I know that Our Savior lives. If we do our part in living righteously, and turn to him for comfort and peace. I promise that you can feel a difference in you life. Rely on Him and he will give you rest.
Love y'all. Hope y'all had a great 4th!!
-Elder Rose🌷
