Hi!
It was a good week in the neighborhood. A nice Church member
took my companion and I to a nearby disc golf course where I threw out my arm
and walked a lot more than I was expecting on a preparation day. It was a lot
of fun and a group of missionaries are planning on heading out there today to
play!
We headed up to door this past week and I noticed some clay
bowls sitting nearby. There was a red wing image on it and as I squinted at the
writing on the bottom I saw that it said RED WING, MINN! This made my day. Even
the small reminders of Minnesota are uplifting! Unfortunately, the people who
lived there were not from Minnesota. I have been trying to convince my
companion that Goldy the Gopher is indeed the cutest and most awesome mascot the
world has ever seen. The fact that gophers are hated rodents doesn't help his
case.
I made a connection this past week with a missionary in
Hungary whom I met in the Missionary Training Center five months ago. His
grandparents live in the area that I serve! This experience proved to me that
our Heavenly Father has all the details, even the small ones, worked out. The
world is small and there are no such things as coincidences.
I saw a video this past week (http://bcove.me/0djeoayt) that, along with
an article in the Ensign (a Church produced magazine) helped me learn more
about faith. I believe and have faith that God does bless us according to His
will and timeline. He blesses us when we feel lost, when we feel like He has
given up on us. He blesses us even when we don't believe in Him. Acts of faith
are important. We may not see the significance of our actions today or the
blessings, but they will come. I also gained an understanding that the purpose
of faith isn't really to change the the circumstances surrounding us, but to
change our hearts so we can deal with any circumstance with an the proper
perspective.
Please have a great week!
Love,
Elder Adamek
