How about General Conference though?! Oh my gosh there were so many changes and so much excitment haha! And the TEMPLES! WHAT?! Russia, India, and LAYTON, UTAH!! WOOHOO!! You should've seen me, I think I wrote that like 6 times in my journal haha!
Aside from all the changes I'd like to express my overwhelming joy for, I'll tell y'all some stuff about this week.
The funny story of the week is that we went tracting this week, which we've done a lot of, and knocked into a nice small family. While talking to one of the daughters, their dog ran out the door and took off down the street. The youngest daughter, Elder Hulet and I ran after it and ran for about a mile before the daughter finally caught it. We were trying to figure out how to get it back to the house since the dog was about 90 pounds, so Elder Hulet used his tie to walk it back home and now we have a potential family from it. The Lord works in mysterious ways.
The spiritual side of things is that we had a bigger commitment for one of our investigators who's Hispanic so we did splits with the AP's, where the Elder Hunt (speaks Spanish) and I went and taught him. Now having lead the discussion and extending a larger commitment, I am very grateful for the Lord's help in the whole thing.
To end I would love to extend the commitment from President Nelson and ask all of you, when the conference talks are available, to go back through and study them for the next 6 months. There were many things promised to us if we do that and the other things that he has asked us to do. We always sing "Follow the Prophet" and now it's time to walk the walk as I know I should've been doing long ago. Amos 3:7 states:
"Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the Prophets."
I have had the Holy Ghost confirm to me that President Russell M. Nelson is the Prophet of God. These changes have been made to better SERVE each other and to better LOVE each other. The last thing is his words, stating:
"These new temples that are being build will not change your life, but the time you spend in them will."
MAKE TIME TO GO TO THE TEMPLE! I love all y'all and I hope you made it this far haha. See y'all next week!
