Elder Robbie Bigelow's Mission: Week 23 - Foot Surgery for Elder Skousen

Hey everyone,
       Man a lot has changed since I wrote you last. Well to start out
my companion, Elder Skousen broke his ankle. And had surgery. Kinda a

crazy story. But hey we are making the best of it!  We are pretty lucky.

We actually have a foot and ankle specialist in our ward!  That was
pretty neat. Because he opened his office so that we could go get it
checked out after hours and everything. And then he was actually able
to do the surgery. So that was a little miracle in itself. The surgery
went well. And he is doing good. I don't think I would be happy if I
had to lay In bed all day. But hey he is doing well.
 
    I learned something pretty cool this week.  We went to dinner at
a members house. We had a quick message prepared. But when it came
time to share the message their home teacher was there too. And he
shared one. And it was really good. He shared his conversion story.
And it was really cool. And then he talked about 3 things. They were
focus, faith, and patience. He talked about when Peter walked out to
Jesus. And he started to sink when he lost focus on the Savior.  And
that really stuck out to me. If we focus on the Savior, we don't have
to worry about the waves around us. And I really like that. And so if
we focus on the Savior, the next step is faith. Believe that he will
come through for us. When we pray we focus on Him. And then we get up
and start worrying again. And that's because we need to have the faith
the he will come through and we don't need to worry. And then the last
step is patience. We need to wait and he will come through. It just
makes sense to me. I love where I am. I love the people and my companion.
The people I work around. And even the snow sometimes.
 
I hope something I wrote today can help you out. But I know we don't
need to worry. We have the Lord in our corner. And as long as we do what
he tell us we will win. And we don't have anything to worry about.
Love you guys. Hope you have a good week!
Love, Elder Bigelow
