Crazy

This week has been absolutely crazy.

On transfer day we got up and left early to make it all the way to Spokane for Elder Lomu to go to a temple session and then to go home! He's been a great example for me and left me a tie that he signed. He's taught me how to be very very diligent. Anyways, we got on the road and it's very wet and we come across this bend and my companion starts to lose control. He hydroplanes and ends up spinning out into the barrier which thankfully stopped us from heading into the river. We then spun and crossed the other lane into a ditch on the side of the road. All the side airbags deployed and we were stuck. No one was hurt except for ringing in my ears for a couple hours from the airbags. And we're so glad no one was in the other lane. 

Anyways, we climb out and the police showed up and he helped us get a tow and sort everything out. We ended up asking a member to take us an hour to the next city were another set of elders gave us a ride to Spokane. We didn't have a car and we didn't have anything except what we were wearing. But Elder Lomu got home safe and sound!

We ended up going to live with the zone leaders for a day until the mission came up with another truck somehow. And then we picked it up and now we're back in our area and I'm driving. 

Pretty crazy experience but it turned out well because I love to drive! 

For my spiritual thought I wanted to talk about joy. There are points in my life where I have not felt joy. I have lost my focus and was just kinda living life. But in my wisdomous age I've started practicing refocusing myself. Because as President Nelson says, happiness has little to do with the circumstances of your life and everything to do with the focus of your life. Joy comes from a life centered on Jesus Christ. And when that focus is lost, joy is as well. I read today that the presence of the Holy Ghost means you're feeling joy. So doing your best to refocus your life on Jesus Christ so you can really feel the Holy Ghost present will make your life infinitely better!

That's it for this week! If you have any questions send me an email!

Love you all!
