Hello Everyone,
This week has honestly been very good! (I know that is what I say most weeks). We had quite a few lessons and got to talk about a variety of different topics. The Gospel really has a lot to it yet is so simple. It feels my soul with happiness and peace.
Our week began with a day filled with quite a lot of lessons and a service appointment where I removed a lot of thorny blackberry bushes! I got some cuts to prove it but absolutely loved seeing the bushes getting torn down. Actually, we had quite a lot of service this week and most of it was removing bushes. We are always so happy to see the difference that an hour or two of hard work makes. Lesson learned: You can really make change in any situation! (and wear gloves)
The rest of our week was pretty normal! We had an online district council meeting because we can't meet in person (remember I live on an island)! We loved talking to the missionaries but it does feel different only getting to be online. We look forward to the Mission Konference next week and being with other missionaries!
Speaking of Mission Konference, we were assigned to write something in preparation for it. The topic is the Book of Mormon and specifically how the Book of Mormon is changing me. I would like to share about how I have seen the Book of Mormon change me with each of you! I will start by saying that I have come to know the divinity of the book. I know that it is sent by God in these last days in order to give us an increase of knowledge about our Savior and the plan hat he played an important role in and how to love and forgive.Though the Book of Mormon has changed me in many ways, the biggest way it helps me is in becoming more like Christ! I have been studying the different attributes of Christ quite often and I know that they can help me overcome challenges and find joy through the will and grace of the Lord! There really is much to learn and although it can be hard to read the same stuff again and again, there is always something new to learn. Concentrated study throughout my mission has changed me. My heart will not ever be the same. Oh, how grateful I am for the Book of Mormon.
Well, I end this email by saying thank you to everyone that reads these emails! I hope you feel uplifted! I feel so much joy and I hope you do as well.
Thank you everyone for the many prayers for missionaries all over the world! The work is moving forward and we are happy about it!
Here are some pictures of some Cinnamon Rolls I made and gave out to people this week! They taste great! Also, some pictures of nature. I promise to get more pictures of myself! (per my moms request)
Love to all of you,
Elder Lines
