YSA

February 17, 2020

Hi!!! WOW it's been a really crazy past few days// weeks. So I'm officially in the YSA (Young Single Adult – 18-30 years old) branch! The branch covers a HUGE area so we split it with a set of elders and just cover half of the branch. It’s so fun! We have Family Home Evening every Monday where we play games and sports, institute on Thursday, which is like a scripture study class, and Sunday we have church of course! Also just like random little activities. The other day we had a Valentines dance which was so so fun and brought me back to stake dances in high school...yikes. 

I got to have lots of companions this week and stayed in some different apartments and cities so that was pretty fun! For a couple days we were covering a couple areas so we had like 1 hour road trips throughout the day which is kind of the YSA life because we cover so much area. We got lots and lots of new referrals too which is awesome, because knocking doors isn’t super affective and we aren't allowed to contact people on campus :( But we had investigators at FHE, institute, and church which was so awesome!

I really liked this scripture from my personal study the other day...

“6 And he said unto them: Behold, my bowels are filled with compassion towards you.

7 Have ye any that are sick among you? Bring them hither. Have ye any that are lame, or blind, or halt, or maimed, or leprous, or that are withered, or that are deaf, or that are afflicted in any manner? Bring them hither and I will heal them, for I have compassion upon you; my bowels are filled with mercy.”

-3 Nephi 17: 6-7

This just really helped me this week to know that Jesus is always full of compassion for us. He always wants to heal and help us :)

Sorry this is a short email but I just wanted to update y'all 

Have a wonderful week!
