Dear Family,
That's sweet that the Utes won! We were getting updates of the game from one of the members and I was getting worried when they started choking at the end, but hey they pulled through for the victory! I am pumped to FaceTime you guys on Friday! It sounds like the white elephant and the nativity went well!
Anyways, this week was pretty good! We had a ton of appointments cancel on us but it happens. We were able to meet with Robert and Rosemary, and we read out of the Book of Mormon with them. They said they would absolutely be at church this week and they never ended up showing haha, but we are going to meet with them this week and throw down on them for not being there haha! We also had an investigator that moved away so we won’t be teaching him anymore, but we have a lot of potentials that we are hoping to turn into new investigators soon.
We also are helping a lady with a mouse infestation that she has in her garage. Mom is going to love this one, her garage is filled with boxes and bags and just things all over the place, and she has bags of bird seed that she uses to feed the birds in her yard, but some of the bags have split open and spilled everywhere so there is bird seed all over the floor. So basically it’s like paradise for mice because they have a ton of places to hide and they have a ton of food. We have been going over there to set traps for her and we have caught like five mice already, but every time we open the garage we see one or two more scurry in, so it’s basically a lost cause… but tomorrow we are going in there to clean the bird seed up and move some of the boxes and take some mice to the woodshed. It’ll be a good time.
We also met with our new Stake President this week. His name is President Allman and he is sweet! We talked about our vision for the stake and what his vision is, and he talked about how he gets super frustrated when missionaries don’t go out and work. There have been a couple missionaries in our zone that haven’t been working as hard as they should and they kinda ruined one of the areas, but they got transferred this transfer so there are some new ones there now. But we talked about all the potential that Rio Rancho has and how we can help the missionaries see it. Something I have realized on my mission is that you can’t just be an object, you have to be an agent. I was taught that multiple times before my mission but I didn’t fully grasp it until my mission. Nothing in life is going to happen if you are just waiting for it to happen, if you want something to happen you just gotta do it! There are a lot of missionaries and people that want things to change in their area or in their life, but they are not willing to do the things necessary to change it so they just wait and nothing happens and then they just get discouraged and things get worse. Just do it!! Yeah it may take a little while for things to work out but when you are working diligently and you don’t give up, it will always work out. Agency is so sweet!
Anyways, I love and miss all of you and hope all is well! I’m excited to see you guys on Christmas! Keep doing what’s right. I’ll talk to you later!
Love, Elder Summerhays
