It’s already March

Well, another week is gone just like that! It’s crazy how fast it goes when you’re busy! Winter finally hit and it’s actually cold now, it felt like a really long fall until this week! Last weekend we had a split with the other elders! I got to stay in Ktown with Elder Heller! It was awesome to be with a German for a whole day and just get to really speak the language and learn some great tips from him. He’s a super great missionary. On our split we helped a family move some wood from their front yard to the back and then had a super great lunch with them. They are a really cool, humble German family. It was super strange to have a German appointment because I’ve only had American appointments for the last 10 months! Not complaining they have been awesome. After that we had an appointment set up with a less-active member, but he wasn’t able to make it sadly. So we went finding! We didn’t have a ton of success, but it was still good to get out and go work.

   Sunday was great, Elder Adams and I both gave talks in one of the wards and then elder Ashworth got up to bear his testimony. Elder Adams and I were super psyched out to give talks, but they both went great and we didn’t go over, so the bishopric was happy. Earlier this week we had a great Missionary Conference and learned a ton about the importance of using the Book of Mormon because of the power that it has.

    We also went on a member split with some priests and the bishop from the ward and it was a ton of fun! Elder Adams, a  priest, and the bishop went by on an investigator and they had a really good lesson with him. Elder Ashworth, me and two priests went to another appointment with members and had a blast. We taught them about how we can become immune from the temptations of the adversary and how important it is to set goals and stick with them.

    Well just to wrap up I hope everyone knows how important it is for us to be converted. As i studied for my talk last Sunday i learned that Alma the younger wasn’t converted when the Angel appeared to him and the sons of Mosiah, he was converted to much fasting and much prayer. In other words, it took time, it took enduring trials and learning for himself. I know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is what we can use to be converted, it’s what gets us on the path to Christ and keeps us on it. I hope everyone has a great week!!!
