We did have the oppurtunity to visit a single mother whose daughter is 10 and has Leukima. What was amazing and touching to me was how happy they were. They dont have much at all, but they are happy and content with what they do have.
We talked about her favorite scripture, which is actually a whole book (1 Nephi). She talked about how Nephi's situation and trials give her strength in her own. What a great example of liking the scriptures into our lives. There is so much we can learn from them and they are so applicapble and were written for our time!
On a side note I had pigs feet at her house and it was actually pretty good. All these foods I wouldn't even try when I was home. :)
Other than that, we had zone conference where we learned the missionary schedule has changed. We now plan in the mornings and have an hour and a half to prepare for bed. There is other stuff, but as missionaries this was the biggest and our favorite change. I am sure you can look up what the changes are, but the new schedules basically allow us to have more freedom and agency and become personally motivated, along with allowing us to spend more time outside instead of inside studying!
In the missionary broadcast, which I think everyone can learn from as it is all about sharing the gospel, president Oaks said something really surprising that I loved. How can we as missionaries (or members) continue to progress? By partaking of the sacrament. A surprising answer that we were all surprised to hear. But, I think for all of us it is important to think about why he would suggest this as the best way to improve ourself!
Well I hope everyone had a great week!
