Elder Jaron Larson: "Strait" not "Straight"

Hey everyone! It's been a pretty not horrible week! I mean... I'm not dead.. so that's always a plus. No I didn't feel that great literally all week. Constant headache, stomach ache, I was just out of it... it was just an off week. Probably the coolest part about it was, everytime we either went to go see someone (potential or investigator, etc.) or in for a dinner appointment... I felt fine the entire time we were there. I just remember feeling great, then I walk out the front door and it all comes back, icky stomach and headache.... Kinda cool to see that small little "God wink" throughout the week as we go see people.

We had that follow-up appointment with the mother and daughter from Wednesday. We shared another scripture and she started tearing up when we told her about missionaries, how we leave for 2 years to do what we do. I have high hopes for her to grow in the gospel. She's super nice with her 12 yr old daughter. They're super awesome. It's been a real struggle trying to meet with everyone else.

Something that I've come to learn is that being in Christ's church, living his standards in his gospel, it's not easy. In 2 Nephi 31 it talks about the strait and narrow path. Notice how it doesn't say "straight." Strait, if you look it up, means difficult. It really is difficult. But it's worth it. He's given us scriptures and other things to help us along the path. TURN TO HIM! He wants to help you. I know that even though things in life may be difficult, you can make it through whatever you are facing. God is aware of you and everything you go through. I hope you all have an amazing week! You all make me so happy! Love you guys!!
