It's kinda crazy how fast the days go by, and everyone has been telling me that the 2 years will be over quick. Now the two things I hear the most are: Enjoy it while you can; and Where's West Haven?
This week was pretty awesome with a lot of highlights so I'll jump right in.
- Phil: This guy is around 60 and is 6'11", so I am not the tallest dude in South Whidbey. He is pretty awesome and is building a hobbit home in his backyard that is going to be fully functioning. Super cool member.
- Dan: My first weird experience, he is listed as a member, but has some different beliefs that have come from "visions" while he has been dead. It was super weird and we tried teaching him a bit, but he wasn't really open hearted at the moment. It was funny because he said the Book of Mormon was true as we left, but from what he said, I don't think he remembers what it says.
- Dulinda: She is a less active/non-member but doesn't have any weird beliefs like Dan, she lost her significant other and Elder Herbst shared Alma 40:11-12. It was so good, and he is so awesome. That meant a lot to her and she said she would love to have us over again!
- Aurora: We met her last week and talked to her again this last Friday. She is a super sweet old lady and loves the bible. She told us she had a member friend a while ago that shared a little bit of the Gospel with her so we gave her a BOM and she said she would read it!! We have a return appointment with her and it's going to be so awesome.
- Seth: He said he wasn't looking to join but would love to talk about the bible. But then he said how he goes to church twice a week and is trying to follow Christ. I hope in our lesson we can show him the one and only true way. But we did invite him to watch Conference and he said yes!! He watched Sunday afternoon and I hope he really liked it.
- Conference: Last but definitely the most spiritually high moment was Conference. It was the most I have ever paid attention to and I took notes and it made the biggest difference. I am so happy to be on a mission and for the little and big changes that have happened to make me who I am today and help me improve little by little each day. Repentance is a process, a process to change for the better. Some think it is just for sin, but it is for anything. I am so grateful for General Conference in showing us how we can improve to become like Christ, by keeping the commandments and covenants we have made.
I love you all! I love hearing from you all, sorry if I don't respond, but I want you to know your emails mean the world to me. If you got this far in the email it means you're committed :) ,so I would like to encourage each of you to reread/relisten to a talk and try applying it into your life this month. A good scripture is John 8:29. It is Jesus talking but if we read it as if we are saying it, it is a super cool promise. Anywho, I love y'all, God loves y'all, Jesus Christ loves y'all, the Holy Ghost loves y'all, and so many more love you all. With that kind of support you can never fail to keep progressing forward. Until next week, here are some pictures.
