This week was a crazy good one that is for sure! This week started out with an awesome meeting with all the leaders and Pres. Whenever there is a meeting with President, it's a good time. The man is super intelligent. And he loves our mission so much. I respect the guy like crazy. So, it started off great. We were more than pumped to get out and go to work.
And then it started to rain from Wednesday to Saturday. It didn't stop raining, but we went to work. On Saturday we worked in the dumping rain for over 6 hours-it was nuts! We were able to teach a few people still. We taught this girl named Pamela all this week. She was baptized this week which was an awesome experience. It is always super stressful on the baptismal days, but it always works out great. And it always turns out somewhat spiritual.
This past week I have been reading a book about Gordan B. Hinckley. My testimony on prophets has grown a ton. Gordon was one of the best dudes the planet has ever had. I love seeing how big a gentleman he was and how he did so much for the church, and put so much time and work into it. His testimony was amazing and it was so powerful that it changed thousands of hearts. My goal everyday is to live the high standards that they live with Christlike attributes. Our prophet and apostles are such amazing role models. But, that was how my week went.
One more thing, I was reading in Helamen 10:4-5 about Nefi and how he didn't care about his own life. He wanted to do everything he could possibly do teach and live the commandments. I loved this chapter and verses. I remembered something else...
This week we had a zone meeting and we taught a few great things. One thing I loved was that we were talking about how Joseph Smith had the First Vision with 14 years of age and Mormon had a visit from the Lord with 15 years of age. We taught and said, "Are we prepared receive a visit from the Lord?" It was super spiritual.
Love,
Elder Meyer
