Hello Friends & Family,
For P-day we decided to hike Mt. Rubidoux again, our friend Cody invited us also! Previously he has invited us 3 times, but has slept in all 3 times. We were pleasantly surprised to find him waiting for us at the base of the trail! We hiked up to the top with a few others from our zone, and then fully embraced the wind at the summit! (Videos for proof)
After 10ish minutes we decided that we had had enough rocks flung into our mouths and eyes we ran back down the mountain (honestly it's a glorified hill compared to utah)
Also notably, Elder Hallsted and I FINALLY got a Rav4 to drive! We were incredibly excited to switch from our corolla and finally join with the rest of MLC with the Rav4 squadron!
The Miracle of the week was this past sunday. We recently were informed that our in-person church was canceled AGAIN... Back to zoom! Typically we had a Sunday School zoom meeting at 2pm for anyone who wasn't able to attend the earlier sacrament meeting. But with the in-person sacrament meeting being closed, everyone SHOULD be able to attend the meeting over zoom. All of us ASLders didn't know that the later meeting was canceled, and continued to invite friends to both 10am and 2pm church meetings (majority to the 2pm meeting). Sunday morning, we found that there in fact was no meeting for our friends to attend (Surprise!). We quickly snapped into action and attempted to gain approval to host our own worship service so our friends would not be left out. We called the Branch President, and got approval! We then called the second counselor and he agreed to conduct the impromptu meeting. We had 9 friends attend! It was amazing! We all took turns and introduced ourselves. I think this was excellent because now everyone has someone to look forward to seeing at church! "If there is a will there's a way"
Revelation is most commonly found for me while I act. We should not wait for Revelation to come, then and only then agree to act. Rather we should do the opposite and be anxiously engaged in whatever we are doing and continue to work until we are guided by Heavenly Father to continue, or to change our course!
