Saving Your Life

Well we went on our temple trip today! That's why our preparation day is Tuesday and not Monday. So we were able to do an endowment session this morning! Always the best way to start the day.

And what made it even better was that I saw the video that I'd never seen before! Sooooo good. definitely my favorite one. Satan was really good in it and I was able to learn a lot this time around. One part that I really loved was the very last shot when Adam and Eve reunite with Peter, James and John and they begin to teach Adam and Eve the gospel--so cool!    

We had a pretty up and down week with Emma. We were actually able to see and teach her quite a few times but she STILL hasn't come to church. So, that means we'll have to move her date again. Pretty frustrating. We just hope that she can start picking up the pace! Because she's keeping all of her other commitments of reading, praying and living the commandments--except for coming to church! So hopefully we kind know what we can do to help her.

All of the district leaders were invited to MLC this last week. The meeting they have once a month with the mission president and all the zone leaders. Super intimidating. But I learned SO much. It seems like my entire perspective of missionary work has changed for the better. That's something that I love about the mission. Just how much we learn little by little. And we receive more direction and guidance just when we need it.  

Alright my "ponderizing" scripture for this week. Luke 9:24

"For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it."

I chose this one this week because Elder Freestone and I listened to a talk last week called "Saving Your Life" by Elder Christofferson. It's an amazing talk that's all centered around this verse. He talks about how in order to truly discover who we really are and find ourselves, we have to give ourselves to the Lord in His service. I love that idea!

Thanks for all that you do! Love you all!
