Choose Joy

This week has been so much fun and filled with a bunch of new things!
Monday we drove to Wichita and had a couple of meetings on Monday
night and then Tuesday we had this really long meeting from like 9-5.
It was a pretty intense but so awesome. Then we got home and just
worked hard.

We went on exchanged with other elders in the zone, I stayed in our
area and I just got here and didn't know where to drive but I found my
way around so that was good. We were about to stop for institute and
we saw these two guys walking past the institute so we ran and gave
them a card of Jesus. Turns out they were both from China, and
studying and KSU. We set a return appointment and departed ways. The
next day we went back and he was super excited to see us. He had put
the picture of Jesus above his bed so he could see it everyday. We sat
down and started talking and turns out he doesn't even have a
knowledge about God or Jesus. So we taught the very basic principles
and he prayed for the first time in his life! I think that might be my
favorite part of missionary work, is here people pray for the first
time. It's amazing. Anyways he came to church and preparing for
baptism! I love that even though he has such a little knowledge the
spirit still told him what we said was true.

Anyways I love the miracles that happen every single day. They really
do. Even the small things can change your day around! We have this
missionary in the mission that always says the phrase "choose joy" and
I love that! Joy is an choice and state of mind and even when things
get hard and tough and rough like life usually does you can still find
joy and choose to be happy. I love that phrase so much! Changed my
life!

Love you all! Thanks for the prayers and support!
