July 2, 2018 in Ellsworth, Maine

We have had a great week!

We got to go find!! I LOVE finding! :) Preach My Gospel says nothing happens in missionary work until you find someone to teach. Talking to new people is a hard skill to learn, there are plenty of rude people out there. When you meet amazing people though, it’s the best! :)

We found 10 new people to teach again this week which was great. We have had a big cleaning process with those we are teaching and are starting fresh. We REALLY want to help someone get baptized in July. I had a cool train of thought this morning about faith and desires. If we really really desire something then we will try to achieve it. In the gospel sense, that is when we can see miracles. Just like how Grace works, we can’t accomplish miracles by ourselves. We do all we can, but in the end the only reason any of it is possible is because of our Lord. We have goals and plans in place to do all we can!

We had a few exchanges this week which was fun. It’s great to get to learn from and teach other missionaries. :)

We’re in a parade this week for the 4th, and President and Sister Blair will be joining us! :) That’ll be fun, who’d have thought I’d spend both of the fourths of July on my Mission with President Blair!? :)

Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Branch
