So on Friday, my sister Erinn, got married. Friday was probably one of the toughest days emotionally on the mission. The adversary was definitely working pretty hard to get me discouraged. It all started at 3 am. I woke up and my stomach was really hurting, like I was about to throw up. I don't think I slept at all from then until 5:30. So for a couple hours all I did was lay there and think "Dang, my sister is getting married today, and I'm not going to be there."
Then I got out of bed and got ready just in time for weekly planning at 10. Weekly planning went way later than it should have because my head wasn't in it. At 4 o'clock Elder Alonzo said he was done being in the apartment. I was done being in the apartment too, but I didn't feel like going out and working either.

Well on Friday at 4 o'clock, in the moment in my mission when I have least felt like doing anything, I
felt a prompting to go visit her. She's a good drive away and lives in the middle of nowhere.
We went and were able to visit with her. Turns out she's read over 30 pages of the Book of Mormon. We had a great visit and she's really interested still. She just had some problems with her phone, and that's why we never heard from her.
Time and time again, when I've felt the worst on the mission, the solution has always been to go to work. I wanted to share that story and my testimony that this is God's work. I don't have much time today, we went to Mount Nebo and spent most the day there. But I know this church is true. I'm so grateful for what it's done for my family. I love my family with all my heart. And I love all y'all, have a wonderful week!
Haha all the photos I have from this week are from a service project, had to borrow some clothes. I was dressed like the kid in the Sandlot haha
