This week was one of the toughest week because of what we heard on Monday. Armenia no longer has a stake and it is really sad because a lot of the members are not going to get the same money that they got before so they can eat. In some ways I think it could be good for them because it will force them to work harder. It's just sad for all of the people there and what they are going through. So when the two area 70s told them that they are no longer going to be a stake and apparently a bunch or people disagreed and walked out of the church. They are still members and all that, but they just need to realize the church is true no matter who your leaders are. The Church decided to do that because when it is a stake the members have a lot of responsibility and they just were not doing as well as they could with that responsibility. Now that it is a district, the mission president is head of the whole district. so he is kind of like a stake president. Also, now that so they decided to destake them, the mission would be running them and they could put missionaries in charge. Right now there are 5 missionaries that are branch presidents so it is very possible that I could be a branch president some day. It would be super hard to have to tell them that I could possibly have to tell them that I cant give them money for their food.
Other than that though this week was pretty good. I got to skype an actual Armenian. It was crazy how much Armenian I actually knew. When she slowed it down I could understand most of what she was saying, but it just seemed like she was slurring her words, but i will get used to it. as I am over there more and more.
This week we also had an amazing devotional. The speaker had 5 points of what you can do to serve a good mission.
1 Work as hard as you can
2 you are never alone
3 put aside the world
4 love the people and your companion
5 dont be afraid to fast
If I do these things I dont see how the lord wont help me to touch the people of Armenia.
This week has I have grown probably the most I have my entire mission. I am realizing the importance of the Book of Mormon more and more and know that Jesus Christ loves everyone. No matter what you do Jesus will be there for you.
Keep working hard at home. I love all. The church it true and the atomement is real.
So these pictures are pretty normal except this week I dropped a skittle and it broke exactly in half.
