We had an awesome week this past week. I don't think that the temperature has been above single digits in almost 10 days. The cool thing is (haha) that we have a rule that we can only be outside for 20 minutes at a time before we come back in so it gives us a great opportunity to exercise our faith and set really awesome goals for those short periods of time when we can talk to people and invite them to learn about the restored gospel.
On Tuesday we had our zone P-day activity and afterwards we hit the streets of Manchester delivering gift packages to homeless people and giving out free hot-chocolate to people that were walking around on the street. It was really fun but also really really cold. It was awesome to see how even small acts of service can brighten somebody else's day and help them to feel the same love that our Father in Heaven has for all of us.
I officially have less days left on my mission than days that I have been on my mission.
It is really bewildering to think about how quickly that time passes. I am so grateful for this opportunity that I have to be serving a mission in this place at this time with all of these wonderful people that I have met and still have yet to meet. When Elder Anderson visited the MTC while I was there he talked about how, in this life, we will probably never know or see how much good that we bring to the lives of others. Do you all Remember Angel from Randolph NH? The one that we tried to get baptised so hard for so long? well I got word that he moved to Pennsylvania where he was baptised and confirmed a member of the church and he now has a temple date with his new fiance and eternal companion.
I know that this gospel is true and that it blesses the lives of all those who follow the words of the Savior and keep his commandments. That it brings true and everlasting joy! I love you all and I hope that you have a wonderful week and a great start to the new year!
Until Next week
-Elder Connor Starr
