This week not a whole lot happened. I feel like all of the weeks are blending together and it just feels like we are doing the same things over and over again. On Friday we all got our flight plans. I will be leaving on May 24th and arrive in Armenia on May 26th at 2 in the morning. It is definitely going to be a long day of travel, but I can not wait for that day to come.
So this week I think the thing that stood out most is that I am district leader now. So on Tuesday I got to lead the district review. There is really not that much responsibility, but its just cool being the leader now. Other than that this week we got to Skype someone from Armenia and had an amazing devotional.
It it really weird because when I talkto Armenian people, I immediately have this love for the people. The Lord really does call you where you are supposed to go. All of the people there are amazing and I can wait to just spend time with them and get to know them a little better. I have not met one person from Armenia that is not nice - its really is crazy. Granted I have only meet like 3 or 4 people, but still its cool.
So the Devotional this week was amazing. It was the Relief society president for the whole church who came and talked to us. She told us a bunch of stories of what her kids said were the most important things on their missions. The two things I remember the most is to love the people and open your mouth. Do not be afraid to open your mouth if the Spirit tells you to say it than say it. I may not know all of the words, but who cares as long as I have the Spirit they will feel that. Loving the people I think is the most important thing. If you love the people you will want to see them succeed and come unto the gospel. They are all children of God and deserve to hear the message of the true Church.
I love all of you guys and cant wait to tell you all about Armenia in a week a half. The Church is true and if you are ever struggling with anything even something small dont be afraid to ask God because he is there and will help you. Follow the spirit and everything will be okay.
