Dear Friends and Family,
This week has gone by faster than any other week. It feels like I
was just writing home. Well, one thing was super fun that we did! We
did a family history activity, and though only one person showed up, it
was a success! I also found out a little bit more on how to search and
do family history as far as my Native American ancestor goes so mom and
grandpa, watch out! I'm gonna find something whether it is on the mission
or after! HAHA
A lot of pondering has gone on this week in many different forms.
Though one thing that I am grateful for is the fact that we are given challenges. They come in all shapes and forms. Some of them are great,
and some are small. Though one thing is for sure, you will always learn
something from your challenges. Even if its something you don't
necessarily want to learn at the moment. Sadly, those seem to be more
regular than not. HAHA Though the Savior knows how to shape you the way
he needs you. And he does it in such marvelous ways that sometimes we
miss them. I just want you all to know that I am grateful every day for
the Lord and the challenges he puts in my paths so that I can overcome
them and become stronger.
I am also truly happy for his sacrifice so the challenges that I
go through can also be a time for me to accept his support. Man, I learn
something about the Atonement every day! its awesome!!!!!
I love you all and look forward to hearing about your amazing adventures during these next few weeks!
Much more love than ever,
Elder Stonely,
