Tuesday this week we went up to Omaha and I got to go on exchanges with Elder Powell! We were comps back in the fall, and it was a fun day! We were out in the rain most of the day just talking to people and we didn't have much success but it was a good time! We also had our 700th day as a missionary on Tuesday do that was crazy as well!
Wednesday we had a lesson with this guy named Junior! We met him about a month ago, but this was the first lesson we were able to have with him. He told us that there's been a ton going on bit he wants to start coming to church and changing his life! It was a pretty cool miracle and we are super excited to start working with him!
Thursday we had a sweet lesson with this guy named Sean. He was super cool and was talking about how he needs to get back into everything. He definitely felt the spirit so it was a super cool experience!
So anyways I don't usually like to tell people when it's a little tougher, but this week my eye has had some sort of infection or something. I have eyedrops and everything to take care of it, but it's been an adventure trying to do everything as usual. But the only reason I bring that up is that it has helped me understand the Atonement better. Jesus is sometimes called the healer, and the reason that he wants us to follow him is so that we don't have to hurt. By following the doctor and using the eye drops every day, I can avoid a lot of pain. By following Jesus Christ's commandments and repenting, we can avoid so much spiritual pain and live a happier life. We just need to repent and follow Christ. So the reason he wants us to follow him isn't to help him, it's to help us! Anyways follow Jesus Christ everyone and have a great week!
