Heat wave (30 degrees) - Jack's email from Alaska

 This week was actually so fire not gonna lie. It was hecka long too but also so good at the same time for sure. But yeah I hope everyone is doing well at home or wherever they are. Let's get into the week. 

 Tuesday 3/17: we had district council today and all that. We did practices that were buns but chill I guess. We had dinner at this families house and there kids were always screaming and doing all that extra stuff so that was driving me nuts. We knocked the rest of the night and nobody answered.

 Wednesday 3/18: we got to go to the temple today so that was much needed. We went to cane's after too so that was actually so fire today. We talked to a guy named rodney and he was smoking as we were teaching him and said he'd love for us to come back. It was a good conversation he seems to be missing something in life. But good for him I got a message that could help him out. Also shoutout to the youth from foxboro 2nd ward for the letters!!

 Thursday 3/19: we had a lesson with this older couple today and that was chill. One of them was Baptist and the other was catholic. We talked about original sin and she said "we don't believe in that, that's why we baptize kids when they are infants" like bro what? You literally just proved my point that you do believe in it. But we invited her to read the book of mormon and she said she would. 

 Friday 3/20: we had a lesson on the porch with our friend marissa. We talked about the temple and how that is our goal for her. She said it's something she's interested in for sure. So that was good, we went to stop by this other lady only to run into this guy named levi. He was super nice and handed him a book of mormon and said we can come by and talk with him.

 Saturday 3/21: probably one of the longer days I had this week. 7 hours of finding isn't the funnest for sure. We knocked and knocked and knocked and nobody answered or even wanted to talk to us. But we talked to one guy named Rian. He was the nicest guy and he said we can come by next week and have a lesson wjtb him. Maybe that 7 hours of finding was worth that 1 interaction with him. 

 Sunday 3/22: we had church at the branch we cover and that's like an hour drive so it's a long but super beautiful drive. We had break the fast afterwards so that was hecka good. We came home and did our studies. We then had a member meal which was fire. And then we had our lesson with the mission president so that was good. 

If there's one thing this ward is helping me with it's patience with kids. Cuz I swear everytime I go to a member lesson or member meal. There are kids screaming or crying or not listening to their parents. Like Bro jus listen to ur parents. But yeah that's something that's been frustrating for sure.

Spiritual thought

Alma 26: 12

 Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.
