Change and Stuff

Family and Friends!

Well hey there! It's Monday again! I hope y'all had a good week! This week was pretty great, so here's what happened:

Monday: We went to Deception Pass and sea glass hunting with Hermana Stewart and Penrod. We had so much fun! After pday we had a really awesome lesson with the Landerman-Moores about becoming converted until the Lord. Brother Landerman-Moore defined being converted as trusting in the Lord completely. That really hit me and I had to ask myself if I trust the Lord completely. After that we had a lesson with the Johnsons about service.

Tuesday: We had so many lessons back to back that day. We had a good lesson with our friends Steve and Pam and we talked about actually a whole lot of stuff. We then had a lesson with our friend Renee. She told us that she is having doubts about baptism and didn't know if she should be baptized. We tried our best to address her concerns but as we sat there I had a thought to ask her how often she was reading the Book of Mormon. She said she reads it a couple times a week so I asked her to read it everyday. I bore my testimony about the Book of Mormon and the Spirit filled the room. She said she would do that and that she would pray more. That was a testament to me as well that reading the Book of Mormon DAILY is so important for our spiritual progression.

Wednesday: We had an awesome district council. Our district leader, Elder Lemke, gave us his final remarks before he heads home. It was so awesome and he gave us all really good advice. Later that night we went and visited a less active in the ICU. It was neat because she was telling us how even though she's struggling right now she has so many things to be grateful for. It was great to see her positive attitude even though she was in the ICU.

Thursday: HALF MISSION CONFERENCE!! Man it was so awesome! We had President Pearson from the Area Presidency come and speak to us and man I have never felt so loved and so beat down before in my life. He talked a lot about what we have to do to become true disciples of Christ and that a lot of us need to really work on that. I was able to really see what I need to do as well to be the best disciple I can be. After the conference we had two really good lessons with some members in our wards.

Friday: We did service at the zoo and then had another lesson with Renee. We talked about the Atonement and it went pretty well. She is still a little hesitant on the baptismal date but we are just going to keep teaching and helping her and see how it goes.

Saturday: We did a lot of service for some people in our wards. We helped one family pack up some things because they are moving soon. It was pretty good👍

Sunday: We had 3 friends come to church! Steve and Pam came and said they really enjoyed the service. Pam said she liked that there wasn't a cross in the chapel. They also really like the hymns and seeing all the families together. Renee also came and she had a good time. One of the speakers actually talked about the Atonement too which was awesome because we talked about that in our last lesson! It was pretty neat! Then after church we went and had a lesson with the Reyburns on the Plan of Salvation and I got to use my cutouts! I was pretty excited and they really liked them.

Well that was the week! A scripture I read this week was 2 Nephi 2:2 and I love this one line from it
"...thou knowest the greatness of God; and he shall consecrate thine afflictions for thy gain."
I know that the Lord is mindful of all of us and all of the trials we did or are going through. But it all is for our good! Everything we face is making us into the person that our Heavenly Father sees we can become. We just have to put our trust in Him, and I know that is easier said then done but if we ask Him to help us, He will. I love you all and hope you have the best week ever!
