Hi everyone! Happy New Year!
What
a crazy week! I don't even know if anything unique happened, but it's
been absolutely crazy trying to just operate right now. Temple Shift was
good, we got one more look at the Temple Christmas lights. They're very
pretty.
We went on
Exchanges this week! It was pretty good. I felt bad, because I tried
planning some activities for us to do, but a lot of them fell through.
Elder Baker was good, though. We watched some videos, and did some
tracting. And then we had a dinner appointment with a member (yes, 100%
spanish), and no, Elder Baker speaks 0 spanish, so we went and it was
great! I was able to understand basically everything he said, and what I
didn't understand I was about until I understood.
We
did an escape room today! It was an absolute blast. We finished with
over 17 minutes remaining. It was scary/clown themed, and at first I was
iffy about it because I don't like scares a whole lot, but it turned
out really fun. (And it wasn't scary at all)
And,
with the New Years tomorrow, I thought I'd share about goal setting and
that stuff. As a missionary, setting goals is an underrated activity,
in my humble opinion. Without goals, you kinda just float along. There
is no reason to improve, there is no motive to progress. Or even if you
WANT to grow, you don't, because there is no action to back your
passion, you won't get anywhere.
So,
when you set goals, here's what I suggest from my experience: A) make a
few goals that are spiritual, physical, and fun. You can include
intellectual or emotional if you want. But make goals that cover
different aspects of life. You'll feel more productive and experienced
greater growth.
B) make
each goal have a constant check-up. I mean, how many of us have made
goals and then forget about them? Do something or plan something with a
consistent follow-up (with another person is best) on a monthly, weekly,
or perhaps daily schedule.
I promise if you set goals in life to become better individuals, you will be glad you did. Amen.
See you soon!
Elder Goss
