First off, this is kind of weird
emailing in a Tuesday! However, the
Mission Conference we held yesterday was AWESOME! They basically talked about proselyting in the
new age and how different it has become over time, and of course the new tools we
are privileged to use! They announced that we will be getting our new iPads in
the next few weeks, but we are going to be doing many training courses,
seminars, etc. about working online and Facebook Proselyting.
Also, we had a member of the Quorum of
the Seventy come and speak at it. Elder Zwick came and gave us some GREAT
advice!
"None is immune or exempt to the
spiritual battles life throws at us. We are all given the opportunity to fail,
but we must all stand tall, push through the best you can and give it your
all."
-Elder Zwick
At the mission conference I was
able to see and kind of hang with some of my previous companions! It was
awesome to be able to see and talk with them again, see how their new areas and
new companions are and so on! Elder Cotton is still in DeLand so I was able to
catch up on all that has been happening over there. I was sad to hear that some
people haven't been coming as regularly as they had been. Yet there are others who are getting callings,
and overall progressing!!! I sure miss my old companions.
We were able to pick up a few new
investigators this week, and will start working with them soon! We also had the
Stake Baptism day. Jessica decided she
wanted me to baptize her. She had a interview with a member of our mission
presidency and they both decided she should wait a little longer to make sure
she is fully ready. We know what we need
to do to get her to that point and are going to continue to keep helping her
the best we can!
Not much new for is week, except for it
has been extremely cold surprisingly. We were probably in the low 30's for a
few of the mornings this week, so that has been nice and quite interesting! I
will admit though, It was pretty chilly. hahah! But now it's starting to warm
up, and sort of get into the rainy season!
So sorry about the lame email! It
hasn't been that interesting. But I will leave you with a quote and message
from Elder Zwick:
"Make your heart your filter. If you can't get that now, you will never go
anywhere. And never reach the full potential your Father in heaven has in store
for you and wants you to achieve."
This world is filled with things
everyone doesn't agree on. Drama seems to be everywhere, and it's always been
an ever changing world and will continue to be! Some things will get better.
Some things will get worse! As long as we stay true to the teachings we have
learned and follow them the best that we can. Your Father in Heaven is going to
provide. He will make sure everything works out how it's best for you. You will
achieve much more! It might not be easy, but it's worth it.
I love and miss you all so much! Have
an AMAZING week everyone! Keep up the great work! And again...sorry this email
is a day later than usual!

P.S. I got a haircut from a barber I believe was totally high....it's called the radical laser part.....haha.
