Hey Everyone!
Today marks 11 months of being a missionary! That's insane! It really doesn't even feel that long since I was back in Ashland, but now I'm in the third transfer here in Faribault. Time really does fly. There were a few fun things about this week, so let's get into it.
We were able to find 3 people this week! Two of them we were finally able to make a follow-up appointment with. It's a guy named Carlos and his kid who is old enough to be baptized. Our first lesson with them was us deciding to pop by at the right time, and luckily, it seems like they liked what we said! We also found a lady named Keyanna. She a mom of 3 and had a recent impression to read more of the Bible. So, she is kinda taste testing churches right now. She can't make it down to Faribault right now because she doesn't have her license, but she's working on it. So, please pray for them to keep having that guidance to the church and the truth.
We met with Nikki and Terryiana this week as well. We had a great lesson on Tuesday. It was meant to be a Restoration lesson, but we spiraled into talking about the blessings of prophets and the temple. We told her it's up to her when they get baptized, and she still said they should be able to do the 23rd. So pray for them too!
The best part of the week was getting to go to the temple! It recently just reopened, so it was awesome to be able to go again. The updated endowment video was interesting, but the changes they made made sense. Being able to sit in the peace of the Celestial Room was so nice too. I wish I could go more. Lucky for us, President Allred said that we'll be able to go 4 times a year, and if we are within an hour of the temple and one of our friends was going, we could go as long as we have a ride! I hope I'm around it when John is able to go in March! I really enjoyed the temple, and we went and got Taco Bell afterwards, so that was good.
That's really it for the week. I had a little bit of a mid-mission crisis this week, mostly of just being down on myself. But, my momma knows how to give me good reminders. She sent me the lyrics to a song that had a big impact on me even serving in the first place. Desert Road by Casting Crowns. I relistened to it, and I kinda had the feeling of, "Yeah, this is where I'm supposed to be." God is good, and He loves you and me. He knows where He needs us, we just have to be listening to Him.
Don't forget to look for miracles and be a miracle for someone else! You never know what your actions might do for others!
Love Y'all!
Sincerely,
Elder Buchanan
