Funny: Zone Conference was on Wednesday and it was so fantastic!
We learned about Satan and about the awesome blessings of keeping the Sabbath
Day Holy. President Hansen was helping us learn about how to help people come
to church and so he did a role play for us, it was so impressive! He's just
very bold, but very sincere so I just watch him in awe. At one point in the
role play, he said "and as we talked about last time, church is only two
hours long". He then turned to us and winked 😂
We all really appreciated the opportunity to laugh and see that practicing
teaching can be funny. Plus, I'm super excited for the change to a two-hour
block so that we can have more people we are teaching come, even if they have
health challenges.
Spiritual: We met Becky this week and she is one of the most
most enthusiastic learners I've met while on my mission! She loves the Bible
and has always wanted to read the Book of Mormon, but then she had hard things
happen and wasn't ever able to start. The reason she was so interested in the
Book of Mormon in the first place was that she grew up listening to the
Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square (formerly known as the Mormon Tabernacle
Choir) and it is her dream to sing with the Choir. When we showed her
scriptures from the Book of Mormon, she got so interested and saw how she could
get answers to her questions through reading and praying. Sister Taylor bore a
really powerful testimony of the Book of Mormon and also said that we could get
an autograph for her from a member of the Choir 😊 We are so excited to
see her next week!
Where I'm at: We've just barely realized how many people
that we have the opportunity to teach right now and it makes us really excited
that we can improve our teaching skills and hopefully help someone progress
towards baptism. We should have a normal (as normal as it gets) week and are
doing really well. The weather here has taken a turn to the cold side and I
broke out my cardigans so that I could stay warm.
Have a joyful week!
