Hey good to hear from yall as always! That new bishopric sounds
wonderful. I'm sure they will be such a blessing to the ward. Haha I'm
glad yall get to enjoy each other's company again.
The meeting with Elder Nash was great. We learned a lot of really good
insights about our purpose as missionaries and helping investigators
learn and grow. We really emphasized that it's all about getting people
to the next ordinance. If people aren't baptized, it's baptism; if they
haven't been to church in awhile, it's the sacrament; and for recent
converts it's the temple. When we focus on these things it really helps
us have direction in our teaching. We can see people as they will
become. I've really taken to heart the importance of the ordinances.
There are so many people that believe living good lives will give them
lasting hapiness but in order for us to experience the full measure of
happiness we need to adhere to not only the principles but also the ordinances of
the gospel. The third Article of Faith really emphasizes that again. We
as missionaries are the only ones in the area that have the authority
to provide that ordinance of baptism. This calling is so important.
I memorized a few scriptures today. D&C 58:26-28
and Ezekial 33:6. I'm loving memorizing scriptures. The more I memorize,
the easier it gets to memorize them and have them in my brain so I can
recall them for my benefit. It's like an instant pick-me-up to have an
awesome scripture stored up there.
I'm glad everything's going well at home.
I'm so excited for conference! I love general
conference so much. It means so much more to me now that I'm older and
can stay awake for everything haha. I've been reading a lot of Ensign
articles and watching former conference talks to get excited for it.
Other than that I'm just looking forward to it a lot.
Thanks for all the help. I haven't gotten the shoes yet. Thanks for
everything though I'm always always grateful for all that yall do.
We met this great lady Audree the other day. She is
awesome. I'm really looking forward to continuing to teach her. After we
shared with her the first vision she cried and said she'd never felt
anything like that before in her life. She had wanted to feel like that
in church and had been looking for it all her life but just never felt
it. The gospel is really going to change her life. Please pray for her.
