Happy Halloween

My week was boring but if you want an update click here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/gMQcSXmRqWsZ31n89 Send me pics back, everyone sends me words with no pictures... lame

We did get to watch Coco on Halloween. Somehow felt the spirit while watching a Disney movie? Idk being a missionary is so weird honestly. My Spanish is also improving, I understood all the words and songs.

This week I was listening to a speech and it was talking about how we have three stages of faith. 
1. Creation- everything makes sense and you don't doubt anything 
2. The fall- you don't believe things and question your faith 
3. Atonement- You've made it through your doubts and wonder why you even questioned your faith

So for me recently the creation was when I was in the mtc, nothing could get in my way and my testimony was so strong. 
Then the fall came, I got to the field and then went home. I thought I couldn't keep being a disciple of christ and questioned why I followed him. It felt like my life would be easier on my own.
But like always the atonement came. I now never want to stop teaching the gospel because I love it so much and want everyone else to experience the joy of it. 

The most important part is realizing that everyone is also going through these stages. Dont compare yourself to someone in the creation stage if you're in the fall stage. Everybody will have a fall but the thing that matters is what you do from there. 

God works in organized ways that the humble eye can't see

First and Last Member Meal

Image
Happy Thanksgiving!! Thanksgiving, p day and our only member meal of the mission all in 1 day, sorry if I don't respond.  There's nothing Utahns dislike more than California. Everyday this week I've had someone go on a rant about how much they don't like CA. I might start telling people I'm from AZ or something just to avoid the shade being thrown. Jk I'll always claim Orange County. They all make a point to say how much they like Disney and Newport though.  The Christmas lights turn on tomorrow! I think we are more excited about that than we are actual Christmas. This also means that our schedule changes  from 6:30-10:30   to   7:30-11:30.   But church and relief society still   start at 7:45  on Sundays and Wednesdays so pray for us and our lack of sleep. I'm gonna be honest Thanksgiving is probably my least favorite holiday. I don't eat a ton of food, I'm not a fan of pie, stuffing or yams but I love the attitude of being grateful. Gratitu...
