Week 2

Hello! 

Wednesday (4/11/19) 

I mainly trained and for the last part I indexed. I was on my own for most of the day which was nice to do things on my own, but at the end of the day I felt like I didn't do much and kind of wasted the day. As soon as I stepped outside I saw the temple. I got a feeling that even the smaller things like indexing aren't a waste of time. It helped me realize that even when I feel like I'm not doing much, the smaller things matter. I love seeing the temple! 

Thursday 4/11/19 

I was able to meet with sisters and study with them for about an hour. It was very nice and helped me remember my purpose serving as a full time missionary no matter the type. Later I went to the temple and I didn't really get anything big out of the endowment but as I was waiting to get initiatory started, I prayed for help not really knowing what help I needed or what to ask for. I just prayed for help. Within minutes I got the thought "He doesn't expect me to be perfect, just for me to do my best." That really helped me, especially on Sunday. 

Saturday 4/13/19 

My grandpas brother helped me with family history and then we talked about the importance of some of the things on family search. It was nice to semi-understand things. 

Sunday 4/14/19 

I seemed to be doubting a lot in the evening what I am doing. Wondering if I made the right decision to serve. It was kind of intense. Whenever I get really anxious and it tends to get bad and hard right at the end I have noticed my Savior steps in and helps me to push through. I realized late in the evening that every time I have struggled with something and get really nervous that I have been able to find the help I need in some way or form. He has helped me every step of the way. I am thankful. 

Your favorite service missionary,

Ps. I don't know if I should be sharing pictures since we all live near Logan but I feel weird not sharing pictures. So here's stepping out of the family history center and seeing the temple. 

and not the best quote, but it works.
