Learning Patience

Alright, so this week was a little better! Just having that mindset of focusing on the positives help! It is hard in Bynum Run because everyone is super busy a lot, and everyone is in a rush. I want to shout out to Brev, going to Gilbert AZ. and Corey for leaving in 2 days to Mexico!!! Soooo sick!! 

Monday- We went to the church after we emailed and balled with Elder Stone, Cooms and Kershaw. That night my parents sent me a pizza to the apartment! That was the coolest thing ever!! And helped me a ton!!

Tuesday- Woke up, played basketball in the morning at the park across from our apartment. We had district meeting and the zone leaders taught it about "the fourth missionary" talk. Which is super good, by Lawrence E Corbridge. You can apply it to life and it is way good but pretty long. That was a sick district meeting.

Wednesday- A hard day, nothing was going on. We are trying to knock doors and stuff, visit potentials and former investigators. The hard thing is no one is home. This week and especially this week I have been learning patience. Patience in everything I do and think. In Westminster everything was go, go, go and teach, teach, teach every day. Here it is so much harder. I want to do the same thing but we can't, everyone is gone during the day. We are trying to find service opportunities and stuff but man it is hard for me to adjust, sometimes I feel bad because I need to be constantly walking somewhere or doing something but the reality here is that we need to set up appointments with members and inactives to find people through them. And for me that is a hard adjustment because in Westminster it was not like that. But I will adjust. Also being more patience with Elder Kershaw is hard too. But for sure working on that and getting better.

Thursday- We did some service for Lasos who helps Latinos learn english and stuff. We just work around their place doing stuff. We had weekly planning and went out again. Picked up some people that we were going to go teach on Friday.

Friday- hard day, those two people both fell through. Just a crappy day honestly.

Saturday- Worked at Lasos, kind of the same as Friday, but trying to stay positive hahaha hard times sometimes but I know it is all for my benefit. 

Sunday- had ward council, church then we had dinner. After we walked around and visited some people. Then went to bed.

Honestly, I am trying to work my hardest. And it is hard to learn patience. Just kind of a hard time these days but there are some fun times too!! So just staying on the positive side is essential. Hope you all will have a sick week this week!!! Love, Elder Brown
