{Letter #60} Sick Days

 Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing great! This week's email is going to be pretty short. I don't feel like a ton happened. Here's a few things that did happen though: exchanges, lots of finding, fall festival, and sick days.

Most of our days here in this area are spent trying to find new people. It's kinda long tiring days, but it's good! We have a few good potentially interested people that were working with and hopefully bringing members to also.

On Friday there was a little fall festival at a local elementary school. It was super cool. They specifically asked for the missionaries to help out with it. It was awesome. Lots of little kids and families running around. We just kinda helped out where needed, it was fun. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures though.

After that I got sick for a few days. I did not enjoy that. It's actually the first time my whole mission. We had to take things super slowly. It was kinda awful. But I was mostly better by the end of the weekend!

On Monday we went on exchanges! That was fun! I got to go with Elder Payton and Elder Tingey, who is a local service missionary. It was lots of fun! We found someone to teach and had a couple people accept a date to be baptized in their area! It was awesome! Both very cool Elders and lots of cool people.

My spiritual thought this week is going to be a verse from my personal studies. Jesus Christ said:

"And my Father sent me that I might be lifted up upon the cross; and after that I had been lifted up upon the cross, that I might draw all men unto me, that as I have been lifted up by men even so should men be lifted up by the Father, to stand before me, to be judged of their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil— And for this cause have I been lifted up; therefore, according to the power of the Father I will draw all men unto me, that they may be judged according to their works"

Christ came to draw all people to Him! He suffered and died for you! For every single person! He loves you so much! He knows you and what you are going through.

Love you all! Have a great week! Let me know if theres anything I can help out with!

Love,
Elder Goold
