So, this week was really good. Sorry I didn't get a ton of pictures, and I don't have a lot to say right now, but we worked hard. We set some high goals in our weekly planning. We found 8 people, had 10 member participating lessons, had 4 people at church, and put another friend on date!
A fun thing though, is there's a Muslim guy on messenger who reached out to me and is trying to convert me. I also just randomly found a Quran at the other Elders Apartment. It's kinda interesting though, some of the stuff he sends me don't quite make sense and he isn't really answering my questions.
That leads me to a small spiritual thought, and it's that our Church actually has answers, and even better, they make sense!! At times I get confused, but I've noticed that if I actually study, I find answers. And this week I relearned the importance of having questions. My studies have felt non-beneficial lately, because I couldn't think of anything that I really wanted to learn, but then I started to think about the sealing power. Like, let's say a Dad is sealed to his son, and one of them chooses not to believe in the Savior, and doesn't go to the celestial kingdom, but the other one was faithful. If the Dad was faithful, but the son wasn't, does the Dad still have claim over his kid in the next life? Anyways, I'm still reading up on it, but it's been a lot more fun when you have a question. So ask questions!

He was speaking about Joy, but I think the principle applies to everything. Love you guys! Sorry for the short email
