Week 20 - January 6, 2020

Yo yo yo!!  Elder Wilde here, all ya'll!!

I got a quick speed email out right here!!

Lemme tell ya'll, boy did we have a busy week!!  It was long lol.  We contacted for about 4-5 hours each day, one day even hit 6!!  Also, speaking ONLY Russian all day everyday makes it all so much harder lol.  BUT AYOOO WERE ALIVE!!  Grind doesn't stop though!!  We plan to go at it this next week again!!  Especially with the possibility that our District could all be split up this week because of transfers!!  Transfers come this Saturday!!  Meaning my training is about to end, just right around the corner!!

We also had two really awesome member visits this week!!  It was so crazy, one of the member's family we would meet with every week--and every week, I would have no Idea what they were saying... but the other day when we were there, I held conversations with them straight up and it was amazing!!  Haha. 

On a side note - It was so weird, there were absolutely no people out on the street the day after New Years!!  It was a ghost town!!  That's how I had heard it was like before, and it turned out to be 100% true!!

For our member visits this week, I led the spiritual thoughts!!  We talked about Stephen W. Owen's talk, which he gave, just this last conference!!  We discussed how when the deer were fed hay, to try and have them last the winter, they died.  The hay is not what the deer needed to be properly nourished.  

We them discussed what we need to do throughout our lives to be properly nourished!!  Of course phones, movies, music, and so on, are all fun and good!!  But we need to fill our bodies with what's more important and what will inevitably, bring us back to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.  We need to read the scriptures, go to church, pray, etc.  These are the things which are going to keep us on the right path, nourishing our souls, so that we can make it back to live with our families again:).  Yes, these are the obvious Sunday School answers on what we need to do to be spiritually nourished, but it's so obvious because it's so simple!!  Its that clear!!  So everyone, remember to nourish your body with what it is that's important :)) the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Love you all!!  Elder Wilde :))
