Hey Everyone!
Hope y'all have been doing well! Sorry for the no emails the last few weeks. It was a mix of being busy on P-Day and not really having much to report. It is a new transfer, though. I'm still in Rochester! and most of my district from last transfer stayed. I got a new companion, Elder Fackrell. We are quite different in the ways that we both view and do the work, so prayers would be appreciated as we move into this transfer! He's a master at talking to people in public. He's gotten a bunch of numbers from people in restaurants and stores. Pretty cool to see. I'll try to pick up a thing or two from him on that front. We found a whopping 12 people last week from his efforts. Some didn't answer for the follow up or things fell through, but it's impressive to see his love for the work. I also got to spend last Monday afternoon and Tuesday in Sauk Rapids. It was a fun time. Elder Miller is a pretty cool guy, and at the end of Tuesday, we went and used the sauna in their apartment building for a bit. It felt very nice to do that.
If y'all have seen my Facebook post, you know that I'm doing a March madness challenge of reading through the whole Book of Mormon again! It was super cool to see the whole story blend together last year, but this time I'm looking for instances of God's love. I'm up to 1 Nephi 9 already, and while reading Lehi's vision, the part where he was walking in darkness really stuck out to me. It's interesting how he followed "a man... dressed in white" into what seemed like darkness. He must've been confused and felt super lost. It was at that moment, he prayed to find direction. And then he was shown such marvelous things like the Tree of Life! Sometimes it may feel like following what God and Jesus want us to do may seem like they make no sense, but as we ask them to make the reasons known to us, they will. It may not be all at once, but they will.
Have a great week everyone! Don't forget to look for and be rays of light!
Love Y'All!
Sincerely,
Elder Buchanan
