This week has been a ringer! We have been working hard and doing a LOT of service! We have been doing anything and everything from pulling weeds to moving to farm chores. I have loved the opportunity to help some of God's children out here in Ramona CA! I love the surroundings out here. The mountains and farms make me think of Italian landscapes. I have loved getting to know Ramona!
Of course a huge highlight of this week was hands down General Conference! There isn't many more exciting things that getting to hear from living prophets and apostles the words God would have me hear. I left those meetings feeling an unrivaled urgency to get back to work and be a part of the most important thing that men can do.
My companion is so happy and optimistic about this work and I am too! This is what God would have me do. One of my favorite concepts of this gospel is one that you are all familiar with. On an airplane, you are reminded that in the case of a loss of pressure in the cabin that life saving materials will drop down from the overhead. Then you are reminded to help yourself before you can help others. I love how this applies to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Knowing that the opportunity to share the good news of Christ is the most important thing to be done right now on the earth, you cannot share it if you do not know these things of your self! If you have questions, I invite you to seek diligently and find the answers. If you do not have questions, I invite you to find some! In missionary work we say that nothing happens until you find someone to teach and we are working on this right now. This life is the time to grow your knowledge and testimony so you can truly know your Father in heaven before you return to Him.
Thank you all for the prayers and love!
Love Yall!
