Hello Friends and Family!
This week was so hard. It was ultimately rewarding as two people I have come to know and love became clean from their sins and received the precious gift of the Holy Ghost, being confirmed members. It was so rewarding. And that's what I'm grateful for. It was difficult in send a companion home. It was hard dealing with feelings of discouragement as the week progressed. It was hard feeling homesick and realizing I only have 2 transfers left after this one. Kind of a smack in the face. I'm not ready to go home. There is still so much more I can do and NEED to do 4 months fly by too quickly. It seems like just yesterday I was barely starting and now I've been out for 14 months...
It passes too quickly and I have work that needs to be done. I'm ready for a new transfer. I'm ready for change. I rearranged the furniture in the apartment and cleaned everything. It felt good to vacuum and get everything so clean. I feel so much better knowing things are changing this time. Which is weird. I originally hated change. Now it's an everyday constant. It's been wonderful to see the change in my atmosphere and mindset. I know things are getting to where they need to be and I earnestly want to seek improvement. I've made goals with my STL and I'm going to make goals with my District Leader too. I want it. I want to see Lisa and Cheyenne baptized. I want to see Joe come to church and actually want to make this a priority. I want to find new investigators and have the ward surround them and hold fast to them. I want to go through my ward roster and have a ward wall established in my apartment.
I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure the Lord's work is done in Fishers. I want 20 lessons EVERY week this transfer. I want to improve my exact obedience. I want to improve my communication skills and also my study habits. I want to delve deeper in to the scriptures and listen to more talks. There are so many things I want to do and I understand I need to pick a few goals that I can work on steadily. That's where I want to be. I've got a desire to see this work done before I leave or go home. If I stay in Fishers the rest of my mission I wouldn't be opposed to it. There are people here I need to see to the baptismal font. Whether it be in the Temple or accepting the Gospel for themselves. I'm going to do it.
Heavenly Father has helped me through difficult times and has helped me feel the peace and comfort I've needed to in turn reflect my good feelings on these amazing people. I'm going to sit down with my WML and ask him what he wants to see us do for the area, what the area needs, and how we can improve to be the vessels of the Lord. There is so much Potential here. Let's see how much we can tap. :)
Love,
