This week has been really good. This week we were able to go to the temple again which was amazing. It was Elder Terry's first time going to the temple is whole mission, so that was great. We went with a member that just recently moved her records to our ward. Her name is Bridian. She is pretty sweet, and she takes us out to lunch whenever we want. This week we also had some exchanges. I went with a brand new missionary, Elder Hoppe, here in Lubbock. On our Exchange we had quite a bit of action going on. It was pouring rain the whole first day. So the roads we're basically Rivers. That was fun and exciting. And on the second day of our Exchange there was a Texas Tech football game. Texas Tech is in my area so the campus was a huge attraction. We forgot that there was a game and drove down that way and got caught in traffic for like 30 minutes. Where it only takes like 5 minutes. But at least it was entertaining to watch all the crazy fans rooting on their team. On our exchange we were also able to do some more service for A.B. in his yard. He hasn't kept his yard very nicely cut.... So his backyard was literally like a jungle. There were weeds as tall as me and weeds as thick as my ankles. It was pretty crazy.
This week we have taught the Paslay family quite a bit. I don't know if I have mentioned them. But we have been teaching them for a while now. Sister Paslay is a returning less active that me and my past companions have been able to reactivate. She has two kids that are 12 and 13 Madison and Dylan. Madison is getting baptized this Saturday. This past week we have done a lot of teaching over at their house to prepare her for baptism. One night we were over there at their house and sister Paslay was very stressed out because she was being investigated for something at her work. Her job was on the line but she still wanted us to share a lesson. While we were talking and just about to start our lesson. We asked who would like to say the prayer, and it was Dylan's turn. He prayed for ministering angels to help Mom and he asked heavenly father to Comfort his mom. Within 10 minutes of the prayer and into our lesson sister Pasley got a phone call from her boss saying the case was dropped. In the moment we weren't really thinking about what just happened but we continued on with our lesson. But as the lesson went by we had realized what had just happened.
The moral behind this is that things happen in life that make life a little crazy and scary sometimes. But our father in heaven knows exactly what is happening right now as you are reading my email. He knows if you are struggling and he knows if you are happy. When we have enough faith to pray and ask our Eternal Father for a little guidance, he will help us. No matter how shaken our faith is in the moment we have to rely on what faith we still have.
Thanks for the emails and the support y all show me. Have a great week everyone!!!
Love Elder Rose🌷
