Hey Everyone!
I hope things are going well for all of you guys! We're staying pretty busy here. My companion is really good at talking to people on the street, so we get a lot of numbers and set up lessons. Unfortunately, the majority don't pick up when we call. But, it's the effort that counts!
We had Zone conference a couple of weeks ago, and we had a general authority join us. Elder Gimenez taught a lot from Preach My Gospel and the standards. The thing that stuck out most to me was judging for ourselves whether we are being successful missionaries. Of course, he directed us to PMG, which really defines being a successful one as the desire, not the numbers or baptisms. That's something really important to remember, so I really liked it!
One of my favorite things that happened recently was we got to join our ward mission leader in taking some young men to give the Sacrament to Brother Weiss. He's only been a member less than 2 years, but he hasn't been able to make it to church because his health is poor enough to not be able to leave the assisted living center he's in. He lit up as we walked in and found him, and, as one of the young men read the prayers, there was such a sweet spirit there. It reminded me of doing that for Brother Noble and the Binnings back in Pinedale so long ago. I was very thankful to be able to be there.
That's the cool things that have happened! Sorry it's not too much, even though it's been a bit since I've written an email. But things are going well, and we're making it through! Don't forget to look for and be miracles for others! You never know what you'll find!
Love Y'All!
Sincerely,
Elder Buchanan
