this week has been packed full of
tons of last minute changes and conferences and special meetings and all kinds
of craziness, but i love it all. we had an awesome zone conference with
president warne, hermana warne and the assistants about how to use preach my
gospel more effectively in the mission, but also after the mission. president
warne shared a quote that went something like: preach my gospel is not just a
book that is read for two years while in a foreign country or in a different
language, but is a book that is inspired by god and his prophets and apostles
to help us as members of this church achieve our full potential and fulfill
with our purpose to invite all to come unto christ by word deed and example. he
stressed that preach my gospel is for all families and members of this church,
for all ages and for all good. we just need to read it and follow its teachings
to receive all the blessings from it.... good stuff, president warne is such a
great inspired mission president. i love getting to listen to him talk and
testify of the work we are all doing and the work that we still need to do.
elder salas and i have been busy
going on splits or divisions with other companionship to help them out with
whatever they are struggling with and its been a crazy long week of divs. i
love being able to really get to know the other missionaries in the zone and
see how they work and i love getting to learn from them. i always learn at
least one new thing from each division we do.
