How we doin
This week was great, we had our big trip down to Colorado
again this weekend so that was a blast. It was good to see a lot of the
missionaries I've gotten close with. President McMurray gave a great training
on the temple and the role it can play in our lives so that was awesome. I had
a really fun exchange with Elder Christensen as well. I always love being
around that guy, he's great.
Elder Gillette and I have been working a lot on how we can
better expound on the scriptures while we're reading with people. This has been
super helpful for my own understanding as well. Also, I finally was able to
gain a testimony of the power of fasting. We went to the temple on Friday
morning, and President asked that we fast in preparation for that. I have never
had a more enriching experience at the temple. There was so many questions I
was able to have answered, and many miracles followed with the missionaries in
the zone. It was an incredible blessing.
I really love being a missionary, and I'm grateful for the
opportunity I have. The theme for the upcoming zone conference is repentance
and sacrifice. It's been very helpful to look at ways I can improve and I know
I'll be able to grow from it.
Hope you have a great week!
