I really don't feel like sending a weekly this week for some
reason..
It wasn't the most action packed week of my mission, but it was still a good one with lots of good stuff.
General Conference was SO GOOD. We were able to tune in for
the 2 morning sessions on Saturday and Sunday evening here in K-town, and MAN
was that some good stuff right there. I got so many answers and felt so
inspired and touched from every single talk, song and prayer that happened in
the conference!!
My 2 favorite talks that I've seen and listened to so far
are Elder Rasband's on fear, and Elder Holland's on forgiveness. Go give them a
listen, or second or third listen! Having literal modern scripture in our day
with modern revelation through modern prophets, seers, and revelators is such a
blessing that we all take for granted in some degree.
Rasband's talk:
Holland's talk:
I know I'll be spending a lot of time listening, reading,
and then re-reading and re-listening to all the talks that were given. They were all
jam-packed with great stuff.
I finished a 3 week study on Jacob 5 this week. Man, for me, one of
the best chapters of all time in all scripture, hands down. So many principles
are deeply packed in each verse and if we spend the time, we can chisel out
some gold nuggets. My favorite verse that hit me like a freight train was Jacob
5:41. We truly are so blessed by a perfectly loving God and Savior. When we sit
back and reflect on our lives and the blessings that we have, it gets easier
for us to say, too, "what more could He have done for me in my
life?".
He loves us and blessed us so much that He gives us
wonderful prophets, seers, and revelators that do all the same things that
prophets have done for all of history! How blessed we are to have them in our
days, right here, right now, so they can give us things that we need to know TODAY! And
things we need to look out for in the near future.
We have seen great progress in a couple of our
investigators, and I got an amazing text from one of them. I'd asked her to
share her thoughts after reading some of my favorite chapters from the Book of
Mormon. She is reading with such depth. It's amazing that a relatively small book can completely change people
who are willing to read deeper than what the pages physically represent. It has
changed my life, and it can change anyone else's who is willing to accept the
things that it invites us to do.
Have a good week!
