Hearing the Words of Christ 4-5-2021




This week was super special because we were able to watch General Conference. We were able to hear the words of the Living Christ through his prophets and apostles. We were instructed, chastened, uplifted, counselled, and felt the love of God through His servants. One of my favorite talks was given by President Dallin H Oaks who spoke about the Constitution and about Gods influence on it. Another was from Elder David A Bednar who spoke on teaching correct principles and having us use those to govern ourselves. The Prophet Russell m Nelson spoke powerfully on faith and how to increase its power in our lives. If you were busy or couldn't watch, it can be found at churchofjesuschrist.org

Short highlights of the the week:

Wednesday: got first shot of the Pfizer vaccine. Did 2 and a half hours of service digging a pool.

Thursday: did service pouring concrete. Had District Council. Went with a member and met some of her neighbors. 

Friday: did service trimming trees. Recovered from the vaccine.

Saturday: watched General Conference!!! Hung out with district

Sunday: watched General Conference!!! Hung out with district

Miracle of the Week: This past weekend was Easter. We celebrated the miracle of the Resurrection of Jesus the Christ. He rose on the 3rd day and broke the bands of death making immortality a reality and exaltation a possibility. God be thanked for the matchless gift of His Only Begotten Son! Jesus Christ lives today. God the Father lives as well and together they invite us to follow Them and partake of Their joy and Their peace. Do it!

Quote of the Week: "Man has his agency, it is true, but God will not be mocked"

Fun story: I just got a call and I have been called to be a District Leader (in charge of a small group of missionaries) and they added another stake to our area as well. Shout out to Elder K for being a district leader as well!! This week was pretty interesting. The beginning we we didn't have much to do and it was kinda miserable. However, the second half of the week we were like screw it, we are going to work hard because we have nothing else to do. As that happened, we saw that we were both much more happier and a lot less depressed. I we had more lessons with people as well as the chance to talk to some of my friends (y'all) about the church as well which awesome to see them and talk about what brings me happiness. General Conference was Saturday and Sunday and it was fantastic. Last General Conference we were told that this one was going to be not only memorable but unforgettable and boy did they pull out all the stops. Went our church building and watched ...

Monday night they had a BBQ across the street and a the police came and did a presentation and gave tours of some of their vehicles. They also would cuff you if you wanted.   Tuesday we crashed a youth activity and the young women were doing a salon so we joined in an get masks and had my toenails painted.    Wednesday we rearranged our bedroom a little to give more space for our beds which ended up working out well. In the evening we had an ice cream social with one of the wards we cover and we got to chat with the and met a lot of people. They also had a ton of left over ice cream so we now have a stash of ice cream at the church whenever we want it.   Thursday we went to this homemade ice cream place in downtown bountiful which as really good ice cream.
