WEEK 18: THE UPS AND DOWNS OF A MISSION


This week was the worst week of the mission.  Were there still good things that happened and blessings?  Yes of course!  Was I still happy?  Yes of course!   Did we hit “Standard of Excellence”?  No! Haha!!  It was rough with us trying to get in with our people.  Everyone seemed like life was kicking their butts and didn’t have time for us, but I guess you have to have those kind of weeks to appreciate the good ones.

I forgot to send a special thank you for all my birthday wishes everyone sent me.  Thank you all so much! I'll try to get a thank you out there specifically to everyone, but if I don't get around to it, it's because life is getting hectic so that can be either good or bad, but thank you all for taking time out of your day to wish me a happy birthday and check up on how I am doing.  It is greatly appreciated.
One of the tender mercy blessings in my life this week is that I have found a lover.  Her name is Kern's Nectar Mango Juice.  This stuff is so addicting and amazingly good.  I think I went through three cartons in just one week. Other than that I’m looking forward to taking on this next week.  Hope all is well!
Love,
Elder Pennington
