Ok guys how's it's going? Hope y'all had a great week because I did! Big things that happened this week:
First thing is related to our landlady. So in my last email I mentioned this lady who's letting us live in like this side house in her mansion who knows Elder Andersen. So my mom asked some questions and figured out some really cool things. These being that I (our landlady) was roommates with Sister Andersen's mother so they were best friends and wanted their children to get married. So later Sister Andersen's brother married Iris' daughter. So that's a lot of where she tied there, but the Andersen family loves her and has called her Aunt I growing up and while Elder Andersen was the Mission President in France, Iris sent all the missionaries stockings so my mom actually got a couple while she was there! And now after getting reassigned and some craziness between somehow I'm living with her which is so awesome! It's in the little things that we really see how much God has planned for us. So anyway the Andersen's didn't know we were living with her so they're super excited and they told I's daughter to call Elder Beatty and talk to him and tell him to "seal the deal" and in case y'all are confused I'm Elder Beatty apparently but when an apostle of the Lord says so, it is so. So now we are working to get this amazing lady baptized.
Second thing is we dropped Elder W off at the airport so he's back in Brazil! Super excited for him and it's a little weird to not be in a trio anymore.
Third thing is that we had our ward get split this week so now we are really confused since Elder M and I are both new to the area and don't really know the members at all.
Fourth thing is that we had zone conference this week which was so fun. I got to catch up with almost everyone which was super dope and I'm pretty much known as the camera guy now for the zone so my 2 years of digital art is really coming in handy.
Last thing is that we had a blasting fun pday together because everyone listened to me and instead of playing sports in the morning we did it in the afternoon and played games afterwards which mean pday went way smoother this week which was awesome.
I love this gospel! Something that has helped me tremendously is the idea of sometimes just slowing down and breathing and focusing on the Savior and the spirit. I have felt so much love doing this and has really kept me going. If y'all are feeling overwhelmed or alone or sad or anything I promise doing this and just focusing on our savior will help. He loves us so much but sometimes we get too busy to let him in.
Love y'all!
