Hi one and all! I hope you are all doing well!
This week was kind of wild! Lots happened and it was good. Started off with some exchanges with the Tuscola Elders, those were great. We were able to set up lots of lessons for this week during that exchange so it was nice to do a bunch of that.
We had an in-person MLC this week again on Friday. Down to St. Louis. MLC was super amazing, and learned a lot about how we can help the work move forward. We talked about consecration and how to be more dedicated missionaries.
On the way home from transfers we stopped by the ghetto arch and took some pictures, see below! Haha it was fun.
General Conference was amazing! There was so much to take in, if you haven't watched it I encourage you to do so!
I'd love to hear what something was that stuck out to you all from the Conference!!
A couple things that struck me were from the Prophet Russell M. Nelson. He invited us to build positive spiritual momentum. I'm excited to grow my own momentum in learning about the Savior and following through on promptings. Another thing the Prophet invited us to do was to let go of anger/conflict in our hearts and to seek forgiveness. It is something I've tried to do over the last bit and it has already helped a ton! The Prophet is truly inspired! I encourage you to all heed his words!
We had a wonderful experience Sunday evening. I was feeling pretty stressed out and tired, lots of stuff happened, Conference was great but a little overwhelming. So 7:45pm rolled around and we were contacting some of our friends and all of a sudden I had a prompting that we needed to go visit one of our friends. Funny thing was we had just called her twice and she didn't answer so I was like "really we need to visit her?" So I get up and tell Elder Peterson we need to go visit Denise.
So we whip out and go to her place, we walk up to her apartment complex which is one of those locked ones but a resident let us in since he was just getting there. We walked in and then got into an elevator and the same resident who let us into the building ended up in the elevator with us going to the same floor. We started talking to him, his name is Mark. We got out of the elevator and ended up having a 45min conversation with him about God and miracles. He said multiple times that God was in the details of us meeting. He ended up not being interested in a message but the conversation left us all smiling and uplifted! It was wonderful!
I hope you are all well!!
