I hope all is going well. You are all in my thoughts and prayers! Thanks for all of the prayers and thoughts sent my way as well!
This last week has been pretty crazy! Its transfer week so that is why I'm sending this out today on Tuesday. We had about 28 new missionaries come in this last week so we had to house one of them for a couple days! All the new missionaries are really funny. Its inspiring how they all have such a desire to be out here and serve the Lord even if it wasn't their original call! Then later in the week NO ONE WAS ANSWERING THEIR PHONE. It was crazy! I don't know how every single person was busy like the same days same times but it was funny! We have gotten back in contact with most of them now.
I also had a photo shoot. I love pictures and I could do it for hours... also, the sun comes up at like 5AM so thats when I wake up now a days haha! I also learned how to make fried rice. All of the riots everywhere are kinda crazy! I hope you all stay safe and that nothing happens to you!
I've been studying in Daniel. I really like it! I invite you all to go back and remind yourself about Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. And then to also read the story of Daniel and the lions den and think of the principles you learn while reading it and APPLY THEM IN YOUR LIFE. So these stories are found in Daniel 3 & Daniel 6. I like it all but I think one of my favorite parts is Daniel 3:17-18 - "If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up." They were willing to except ANYTHING that the Lord had for them. As we are obedient and are trying to be our best to follow the Lord we will have the same attitude as Shadrack, Meshach and Abed-nego and we will be able to endure anything that we go through with the strength of the Lord.
DO GOOD, BE GOOD
Love,
Elder T. Ricks
