Heyyyyyy. This weeks been pretty good. I learned some awesome stuff and did some awesome things. Here are some highlights:
Zone Conference - lots of driving and lots of sitting. It'll be weird when I get transferred and don't have to drive more than an hour just to get somewhere. But they talked about standing in holy places, and how we can make our own holy places anywhere we are at. It was pretty good.
Temple Covenants - For District Council we talked about the covenants we make in the temple and what they really mean. It was a really cool discussion and there's this awesome resource on LDS.org you should all check out.
Amber - we got a online referral the other day and have chatted with her since. She just needs someone to talk to. Then she asked us if we could date and that was a red flag. So that was very funny. Hopefully the YSA sisters can get her to go to activities and find someone 
Member Baptism - So it turns out I didn't play the piano at the baptism, but I do have I'm a child of God down so that's good. It was a really cool baptism and lots of their non-member friends showed up. Sadly, none took a book of Mormon. But Taira came so that was cool.
Taira - So we had another lesson with her and taught the Plan of Salvation. It's so cool because I could tell that she wasn't getting some of it but the next day after she read the chapters we gave her, she texted us and asked us questions about other scriptures she had found to help her understand. It's so cool to see how much studying she does and how she knows this Gospel to be true. I can't wait till her baptism this Saturday!!!
It's going to be at 6pm PST. And I'll send the zoom link out hopefully today.
So I wanted to talk about consecration. I learned a lot from district council and I really liked what I learned about the law of consecration. For a bit I thought it was just giving up our time, talents, and resources; but that's the law of sacrifice. What I learned was that consecration is not giving stuff up.but dedicated it to the Lord. Giving it to Him so He can make it better and help make you better.
2 weeks I talked about committing something to the Lord everyday and so after learning this I changed it to consecrating someone to the Lord and that as you do it and keep Him involved He can magnify your efforts.
I love you all and I hope you can see the power of God in your life this week! Until next time...
