Hey family:
I am so glad that mom had a great time
at girls camp that is awesome!
So yes, I have a new companion and he is great.... well
he's a little slow and hasn't learned too much in his six months out here.
However, that's okay I just have a little bit more work to do and I have to do
all the talking with the investigators but it is helping me learn a ton so I
love it :)
The switch to the new house was all good, although my new
house is super small haha but oh well will figure everything all out.
Okay and now about my week. Well to be honest not too much happened this week.
We had a little mishap with our ward mission leader when
he offered to wash our clothes for us and then expected us to pay him and I was
like "oh okay how much do you want" and he says 65 dollars for three
bags of clothing.... and obviously we don't have that kind of money so I had to
tell him that we couldn't pay him that much that the most we could give was 10
bucks.....he was NOT very happy about that :)
Then for the rest of the week I was just getting adjusted
to being senior companion. We have met two new people that are great that have
accepted baptism dates and I am so excited to keep working with them!
I would like to bare a little testimony to wrap things up:
Okay so the last little bit of my time out here I have
learned a lot about myself. About how hard I can push myself and about the
effort that I want to put into my work as a missionary. I have discovered that
the only way to be happy out here is when you are working as hard as you can. I
have realized that God truly does put people that are prepared to be taught
right in your path. He wants every single one of us in this life to be happy.
He knows me better than I know myslef and he knows just how hard I can push
myself. I want to be able to say that I reached my potential as a disciple of
Christ out here and that I was able to find those in need of the gospel and that I
was able to change their lives.
I love this work and I love the time that I have here. I
hope that every single one of you all can find the same joy that I have found here.
I hope that you all can know without a doubt that Jesus Christ is your Savior
and that he loves you. I hope that our family can be together forever. Because
I have truly relized here how much family means. I have seen so many broken
families here and I am so grateful for mine that I have in Utah. I love you all
so very much and I will talk to you soon next Monday :)
Love,
Elder Lignell
