Elder Jared Greenburg

YAY! Elder Dastrup and I got super sick this week! Being sick on the mission has never made me feel so wasteful in my life! Such a giant waste of space! This week was super slow because we couldn't get out, our Zone Leaders made us stay home. But, I am fine now so I am pumped to get working! It is my 6th week in the field so that means I get to start leading discussions, super pumped about that! I like to view teaching as a team effort. Missionaries, Investigator, The Lord, all striving to achieve 1 goal. Helping them come closer to Jesus Christ through the restored gospel. When this occurs it shows the Gator that we really do strive to help them see salvation, and that we really do care. It isn't about getting the baptism so that you can show it off to everyone, but to really show them that this is their salvation that's on the line, and that through the Doctrines of Christ they can see celestial glory. As we sit down with these investigators we can strategist with them what we need to do to accomplish this goal, what are road blocks that might occur? What are some hang ups? From that point we can set goals and make plans to help them achieve them. This is something that has been drawing on my mins all week, and I can't wait to use it. I really think it will help us with teaching, and showing investigators what real intent is all bout. It's super sick! Anyway, I don't have much to write about this week.

Here is a picture of me bumming around apartment.

Hope all is well!
