Elder Dillon Stott - Ukraine, Kiev Mission: Week 80

December 4, 2018

This week was AWESOME. It went by so fast. Holy cow. We were in L'viv for 5 days, for a conference, interviews, and then back home. It worked out weird so that we had interviews on our P-day, then our P-day got moved to the next day, and then we had a day of missionary work in L'viv, and then Zone Conference, and then back home on Friday morning.

The conference was SO good! We talked about Christlike attributes. If I had more time, I would write as much out as I learned, but all I know is that Christlike attributes all lead to one another, and they are all gifts from God. I studied Charity, and it was a great study and I learned so much. And more than anything, about how it is the defining quality that Christ possesses. We can learn so much about how we can obtain those qualities in ourselves as we closely learn from the scriptures and observe just how incredible Christ truly was.

It was a special conference for me, and kind of sad, because I had to say goodbye to Elder Frehner. He's one of the best friends that I've made in my life. Shoutout to him for serving a dope mission and being one of the most loving people that I've ever met in my life. I wish you luck back home, FD! Some of the best talks and laughs that I've had on my mission, and even in my life, have been with this beast of a missionary.

I don't have a lot else about this week. L'viv was an amazing experience and a much needed boost. There is a certain power that comes when people join together in the Gospel and they all "feast on the words of Christ". That power comes in the form of pure joy and happiness. I hope that we can all take glory in those moments and enjoy them to the fullest. I've found out for myself that TRULY, where two or three or more are gathered, the Spirit of Christ is right there with them.

Have a great week!!!
