This week was magnificent! So the hype for general conference was real and the spirit was so present! So this week we did a lot of inviting and preparing for conference. We also had our zone conference in Orange Park and that was pretty good as well. On Monday, we got a text from a member saying her grandson Wyatt wanted a blessing. We gave him a blessing and he is super interested in the gospel! So we shared with him a message and he asked a lot of good questions. We were able to set a date with him for May 11! He has always wanted to be baptized but just hasn't had the support but his grandma is taking care of him and the ward is also super excited to help too! Eli a, guy who came to church 2 weeks ago was in the hospital this past week but got out since and we were able to stop by and teach him. He is so prepared to here the gospel message and had gotten a Book of Mormon from a member and had been reading it. He also watched general conference with a member! Probably the highlight of my week was going to the priesthood session in Orange Park and seeing some members from the ward. It was so good to talk with Brother Mitte about fishing
haha and all the other members I missed and loved.
From general conference, there was a lot of great talks and probably the theme that stuck out most to me was the importance of our covanent and doing all we can to be faithful to them. Just a week previous, I was pondering about my testimony and how I came to know what I know. For me it wasn't through anything big but the small moments in my life when I felt God's love. I also have been thinking a lot about my choices and which ones are the most important. I know that the prophets and apostles are so inspired and that the counsel they gave us to be more committed to living the gospel than anything else is so important. I know that the only way we can find any worth while happiness is through living the gospel and working out our exhalation which is to know God and experience the same Joy he wants us all to have. For me, the hardest part is going to be to keep what was said on my mind so if any of you have suggestions or want to keep in touch on how you applied conference feel free to hit me up via email!
Well, I hope each of you have an amazing week! The gospel is so true and is such a blessing. Don't forget it! Love ya
