When we are specific in prayer...

Thanks for writing early mom!

And thanks for sending boxes for the whole crew! :) There are some that I already have in mind who will need it. There are missionaries that literally don't have a home address serving in this mission. 

That quote would have been perfect to hear at the beginning of this week haha, it was a very full one. (the quote: One day at a time. It has been well said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear. Never load yourself so. If you find yourselves so loaded, at least remember this: it is your own doing, not God's. He begged you to leave the future to him and mind the present. ~George MacDonald)

We ended up with only half a pday, and about 1 hour to work in our area all week. The mission baptised more per missionary this month than it has since President Nelson arrived 2.5 years ago (and maybe ever, not sure). We feel very good about that. The Lord has blessed us a ton, and there are just so many miracles that we hear about. 

This week we were able to give a few really fun trainings. One of them was about being persistent and we made a fake door and slammed it on them if they weren't persistent. The other was with the ZLs and Sister training leaders and we talked about the difference between the word "minister " and "administer". They are both very important as leaders in the church and the mission, but it's important that as we administer, we do it with the purpose of making the minister part easier. Small but important difference.

I have been able to change the way I pray this week, asking and thanking for specific people, and their specific needs. I feel the spirit with me a lot more as I have done so. 

The new generation that arrived is killing it still, finding lots of miracles and living the dream. 

Right now we are going to go eat Thanksgiving dinner with President and Sis. Nelson, the dream! I keep telling them thanksgiving is in October but they don't believe me. 

Love you lots,
