Hey friends and family this week has been nuts. We started
zone conferences and you know what that means. ROAD TRIP! Don't worry it's an obedient
kind of road trip. With our assignment as tech Elder we get to go around to all
of the zone conferences and present on technological needs. So, we are
presenting on our area book app :) and some of the features there are on it and
some new features that are on it that are being underused. It's been a lot of
fun actually. I really enjoy going to all the zone conferences and teaching.
It's so much fun. I get to see all my mission friends around the mission. Anyway,
that's what ate up 90% of the week so I don't have much to talk about, but I
will try and figure out something to write about.
Anyway, Monday was just a normal P-Day. We just played
basketball and hung out. I think I'm starting to kinds get good at basketball.
You hear that Danika?? (little sister) I think I might be able to take you when
I get home ;) yes, I'm throwing out a challenge. Our house, 1 year from now, be
there or be square. ;) anywho after P-Day we went and had a family home evening
with the Woodd family in the ward (yes there are 2 D's) we talked about Alma
the younger and his conversion story. Both in Mosiah 27 and also Alma 36. We
compared both of them and talked about them. It was a super cool family home
evening.
Anyway, Tuesday started zone conferences. We started to
drive at 6 pm. It was kind if chaotic trying to leave. But once we got on the
road we took off to eureka :) I got to drive up actually in the big Ford
Transit van :) it was actually super fun I felt like a monster truck. The only
not fun thing about it was the length of the drive. It's a 4 hour drive up to Eureka
from Santa Rosa. Which actually isn't too bad to be honest. It's a super pretty
drive and I got to chill with friends in the car so on scale to 1 to 10.
10 being would drive it every day if I could. I would give it a 6.7
:)
Wed-Friday were zone conferences and what not. So, nothing
too exciting. Just sat through 3 different 9 hour meetings haha :) woooooo
That's pretty much my week. We had a lesson with Robert
Rowland this week which went alright. We taught the plan of salvation, but he
was pretty out of it. His back has been hurting him and he was pretty exhausted
from the day so it wasn’t the best lesson..... Who knows... Hopefully he got
something out of it.
We had lunch with Jazlin which was cool. She is still super
pumped for Kenya. But unfortunately, she wasn't able to go to the temple. The
group she was supposed to go with canceled...... I was extremely
frustrated..... So, she won't be able to go until after she gets home from
Kenya...... Sad..... Oh well......
Anyway, so I guess my last topic will be what we are learning
about in zone conference. We are actually learning about the thing I put in the
subject line. Who knows where that's from??
No answer huh..... Anyway, it’s my favorite exchange in the Bible
between Peter and the Savior. (For those who don’t know, I love Peter. I can't
wait to meet that guy. Favorite prophet by far.) It's after the Savior was
resurrected and he ascended to his father. The apostles had no clue what to do
so they returned to their old lives. So, they all went fishing. And like you
all know they caught nothing. The Savior appears to them and tells them to fish
on the right side of the boat. And they caught so many fishes that they
couldn't pull them into the boat. So, they recognized it was the Lord and went
over to him. While they were eating the Savior leaned over to Peter and asked
him 3 questions. "Peter, lovest thou me?" He asks that single
question 3 times. Think about that. How would you react? The first time asked
you would be like. Of course, I love you! You know that. Then he responds. Feed
my sheep. Then he asks you a second time. You would be a bit confused so you
would respond again yes, Lord of course I love you. Maybe thinking he didn't
hear you. He responds again feed my sheep. And then for a third time he asks
you. What would you he thinking?? Clearly, he has heard you. Starts to make you
think how you would respond. And that's my invitation to you all. Think about
how you would answer. I have been pondering about that for a while now. All our
motivation in this life should be by our love for our Father in heaven. Keep
thinking about that this week.
Anyway, I love you lots! Hope you all have a wonderful week!
God loves you! The sky is blue and the book is true! Joseph Smith was and is a
prophet. And through him the priesthood was restored and this is Christ's true
church once again restored to the earth! Have a wonderful week!
