Another week in Sunny Selma.
April, 27, 2020
The weather has been nice, most mornings my companion and I get up to the sunrise and open the doors to feel the morning breeze. We go to the church to practice piano every once in a while too. We had a service project this week, we chopped wood for that same member mentioned last week, it was good to go out for a couple hours and get some lumberjackin' in. I need to cut wood more often because I was sore in places I didn't realize could be sore. We had an online district council, it's been convenient to attend from the comfort of my arm chair. Our Mission President has designated the hours of 5-8:30 as "prime finding and teaching time" and so we spent every evening this week calling or messaging people in an attempt to make contact and spread the gospel. It's different, we're adjusting. It's long hours, and I'm starting to miss knocking doors, but everything has it's season. My companion Elder Grant made a video for our Facebook page, Come Unto Christ in Selma, (feel free to look it up and like the page!), he bore his testimony and made an allegory, it was pretty cool. We also cleaned an apartment this week, our President is anticipating the reassigned missionaries to be arriving in the next couple weeks. I guess we'll see. This week I've been thinking about gratitude. I really gotta stay grateful to stay humble and to stay happy, gratitude is a simple first step in weaving our spiritual tapestry and stepping into lifelong discipleship. I don't have a lot to say. I probably won't for a couple weeks, but I hope you're all staying strong. Stay well!
Elder Gneiting
