Hi, all!!
This week was relatively uneventful, but good, as always.
-This last week we traveled out to the Batsona for their
district council meeting. Apparently every week after district council they go
to Eddy's Pizza, a place where on Tuesdays and Wednesdays they have a buy one
get one free deal, so we definitely enjoyed some pizza that day. And don't
worry about me eating too much pizza, because my companion have still been
going to the gym! Definitely going for a six-pack before I get home... No
promises, but I'm working for it, hahaha
-We worked with a lot of less-active members this week which
actually went really well. We had four less-active members come to church this
past week! There are lots of various reasons to lead someone to fall away from
the church, but it is always such a beautiful experience to see someone once
again experience what they felt before. The gospel is incredible in the ways it
manifests its truthfulness to those who embrace it. Some it comes little by
little, some it comes in a dramatic way, but regardless of how someone comes to
know the truth, I've noticed that it is always accompanied by an incredible
feeling of peace and happiness. It's not something one can really explain with
words. It'd be like trying to describe the taste of salt to you if you have
never tasted salt or trying to explain the color blue if you can't see. It's
something that really only means something to someone who has personally
experienced it. I have experienced it. I have felt it for myself. I know that
this incredible feeling of peacefulness can come from no other source but the
Savior, Jesus Christ. It's a feeling of peace that comes even when everything
seems to be going wrong, yet for some reason somehow you know everything will
be okay because you know the Savior is there ready to help and He will if you
trust in Him and reach out to Him.
I love all of you so much. I hope you all have a fantastic
week and that all is well with you.
With love,
Elder Buchanan
Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures this week, but I
will try to repent and do better next week for all of you, haha
