Thanks for the update this week. Sounds like it is fall. Life is getting busy now - same for us. Some stores are having Christmas sweets out. It's getting crazy.
This week was good. We are just working. We had a great zone meeting about keeping the Sabbath day holy. I LOVED it!! I'm so glad that I was able to come on a mission. I have learned so much about the importance of keeping the Sabbath day holy. There are so many blessings that can come and so many reasons to keep the Sabbath day holy. Why would you not? We got to watch the general conference training for last conference, and it was so good to hear from the 12!!! I loved it!
Highlight of the week: Got to work with Sai and Ofa this week and their friend. She opened up to us about her situation. I can't go into details but, man, is it rough. I'm learning skills that I never thought I would have to develop as a 20 year old! The Spirit was there and it was so cool to see the Spirit work through us as we had promptings to share scriptures and Mormon messages. These iPads really are a blessing!! It was exactly what was needed to calm her down and to reassure her that she can do it! That was cool, plus we got some heavenly food from them.
Another cool experience... A less active we are working with was able to take the sacrament again. You should have seen her when the bread came. She was so quick to throw it in her mouth. The sacrament is so important. It's so cool to see someone you have helped be able to have those blessings in their life.
Oh my goodness!! My studies this week were all from 2 Nephi 2. I don't have the time to share all that I learned but, man, Heavenly Father is so smart and the plan He has for each of us is so cool. The creation, the fall and the atonement all happened so perfectly so that we can make it back home. I love it. I'll share more next week!!
I love you all and am so glad that I have you in my life!!
This gospel is amazing!!
Love you all!!
