Hello friends and Family i just know your week went amazing and everything was sunshine and rainbows. If it wasn't i guess you missed out on the opportunity to see the good that happened. This week has been exhausting and probably one of the most service oriented weeks on my mission. The people of washington are coming out of hibernation and are realizing that they have some things to clean up and have asked for a lot of help this past week. It has been amazing serving them even though there were many times this week i wished people would stop asking for help but wouldn't replace those opportunities for anything. 

🚲Bikes Fixed: 8 

🛋Couches moved: 5

🏡Houses/apartments Moved: 2 

😋Meals acquired from service: 4 

I had the opportunity to prepare for a meeting that me and my companion were in charge of this past week. As i was preparing some thoughts i got drawn to this talk Called (Know thyself, Control Thyself, Give Thyself- Elder Pual H. Dunn) an amazing talk and i wanted to share a little excerpt from it that has stuck with me and given me some great perspective on my actions  

Now this is what he says and he is quoting his father it goes 

"Paul, there are dozens of rules for success, but none of them work unless you do.”

Each day we have the opportunity to succeed in whatever we are doing but it doesn't matter what it is if there is no work, effort or focus. you won't succeed. If your wondering what your next "successful" step might be just start moving forward and work hard and if its Done with God success is inevitable. I want to invite y'all to move take the next steps and succeed. 

I hope you all have another amazing week, know that i am doing well and appreciate all the support very much! Love you All! Peace
