Week 22 - Bless up

Hey everyone!

    Splits with Elder Bringhurst was the best! Learned a ton and it was awesome to talk about home and good times and stuff. 10/10. He asked me at the end the thing that has taught me the most on my mission so far. I thought about it and realized that it was actually being rejected. You really begin to understand the Savior in a new way when you are rejected for his sake. You understand a little what he went through and you recognize the times you close the door on Him and don't want to hear what He has to say. It's really a sacred opportunity if you think about it. 


    Transfer calls came and I'm staying in Sundsvall! I am entering my fourth transfer here today and I reach my six month mark at the end of this month and I'm trying to figure out where all that time went... I'm now the old geezer in Sundsvall that knows all the branch's secrets. Everyone in my original district has transferred and two have gone home. Weird feeling! Elder Moss is heading down to Jönköping, then it'll just be me left! 

     I gave a talk on Sunday about prayer. Some things I learned from preparing: sincere prayer can make a world of difference in how happy you are, praying for those you love can give you peace and assurance for their welfare, praying with gratitude reveals how the Lord was involved in your day or week or month or life.  So get on your knees! ??

      I love you all! Have a great week :)
