Hello everyone!
This week has been a bit rough! I have been sick all week which is not fun at all. The weather is changing, so of course I get sick. At the beginning of the week I just pushed through it but it's not as easy as I thought. Before when I got sick, I'd just go to school and then come home and rest. But being on a mission you are outside all day in the cold and have no time for naps or rest! I saw the mission nurse and the doctor and he told me I needed to stay at the apartment, take my antibiotic, and rest because I have bronchitis and have been coughing all week. So I've been watching a lot of gospel movies which is fun and I've been sleeping a lot, hopefully I'll get better soon.
Besides being sick, we had a cool week. One of the seventy, Elder Curtis, came to Logan for a mission tour. He spoke in conference a few weeks ago during the priesthood session which was pretty cool! He talked to us about Alma 5 and Ether 12! Such great chapters in the Book of Mormon by the way! He talked about daily repentance. Repentance isn't something bad, it is a gift that Jesus Christ has given us. Every time we repent we become more like Jesus Christ and can be perfected through him. This week I have repented daily even for the silliest things because I know that the atonement was done for me and I want to use it daily in my life.
We had some lessons this week too! We have been teaching this less active girl named Brie! She brings her non Mormon boyfriend to the lessons. This week we taught the plan of salvation to them (which is my favorite lesson to teach). He seemed very intrigued and it looked like he was thinking a lot. At the end of the lesson we asked Patrick to say the prayer and he said yes. In his prayer he asked for truth to be revealed, he asked to receive an answer if the Book of Mormon was true, and asked if the plan of salvation is God’s plan for us. It was the most sincere prayer I have ever heard. We were so happy after the lesson!
Last thing.... This Sunday we had stake conference! And President and Sister Allred (mission president) came to it. They asked us to sit on the stand with them, so we did. In the middle of President Allred's talk he asked for us to stand up and give the 4 minute restoration. We were super nervous because there were like 600 people there, but we did it, and I definitely felt the spirit so strongly. After stake conference so many people came up to us afterward saying how much they loved our message. This one girl came up to us and burst into tears and told us that our message just real pierced her heart. It took us 30 minutes to even get out of the big room! It was a great experience
and I'm so happy to be able to share the restoration with the whole YSA 3rd stake!
Well I hope all of your weeks went well! Just know that I love this gospel so much and it brings me so much joy even in the hard times!
Love you all!
