This week felt like it was a whole month; it's been very very hard. We learned that someone we were teaching committed suicide. This was someone I loved a lot.
I feel like a baby sitter right now. I'm training, then my district is full of a bunch of super young missionaries. They still don't know what they are doing. So I'm always stressing on how I can help them. It's honestly just over baring right now. Just too much going on.
We had a general authority come and visit with us on Friday. It was Elder Mackay from the Quorum of the 70. He is a very good speaker, and said a lot of wise words.
I'd say my spiritual high was yesterday. At church while partaking of the sacrament-even though this week was super hard-I tried to focus on what the Savior has done for me during the week. It was a very tender moment; I was crying a lot. Then last night we went to a members home, the spirit in their home was so strong. I don't know if I've ever felt it that strong in someone's home before. So I was tearing up again.
This week I leaned on my Savior. He carried me through the week, it wouldn't have been possible without his help. He really does carry us when we can't go anymore. There is a youth song that the church made called "Peace in Christ". In the chorus there is a line that says,"He gives us strength, When we can’t go on." How true is that?! Remember that if it weren't for Jesus Christ, life would be nothing but suffering in guilt, shame, loneliness, etc. There wouldn't be peace. Thank Heavenly Father for the many things He gives you!
Love y'all,
Elder Larsen
