This week was pretty crazy, but really awesome at the same time!!
Last
Monday we went and got pedicures up in Stillwater, it was really funny
and actually felt really good! The little Asian lady who was clipping my
toe nails said I had a couple in-grown toe nails (as usual) haha and
got them right out, It didn't even hurt. Who needs doctors when you got
little Asian ladies right? haha

We had a really good experience this week though! We were
kinda upset, frustrated, and a bit tired one evening this week, we were
complaining and moping about the mission struggles and our issues with
certain things and just a lot of poopy stuff was being thrown down, then
we were like ok we still have to go out and work so went up to talk to
this guy and sure enough he was super interested in hearing about the
gospel and asking us questions about the missions and why we were doing
what we were doing and it brought me back to remember the real reasons
why I decided to serve a mission and why i was still on my mission right
now!! It helped me focus on what truly matters!!!
Thursday this week we had a super good opportunity to go to
the
Oklahoma City Temple with Sister Rollins (endowment) for the 1st time!!! It has been sooo cool
to see the changes the Rollins family has made in the past 3 months i
have been in Guthrie! They are the best people here and are doing sooo
good! I love going to the Temple and I was able to see the newest video
finally!! haha its been a while since ive been! We are going again with
the mission in august so that will be good to go again!!
Friday we had district meeting again and I gave a training on
finding people and how we can find prepared people and what makes
someone prepared!! The coolest thing I learned from studying that is
that the Lord already knows who will accept His message and who wont!
Now obviously we need to give everyone that choice but when we involve
the Lord in our efforts to find people to teach we can find those who
are truly ready to hear the message of the restoration!
We had a lot of service opportunities this week and were able
to teach some people some good lessons! I have felt like our lessons
could be better so that's what I have been focusing on this week is
giving everything in every lesson we are in!! Laying everything down on
the line and being bold!!
Oh and this week was blazing hot, like 105 with the humidity
was crazy!!! We had to walk one day cause Elder Balch's tires were flat
and I felt like I was going to pass out!!! It was soo bad and we were
lucky to knock on a door that gave us water! she was super nice!!! haha
Love Ya'll,
Elder Morris
