Haha see I can still speak Spanish. This week
was great! It was one of the best weeks on my mission! We had a great
week in the work but also with my own personal conversion. This
Christmas season I've been focusing a lot on becoming a more converted
disciple of Jesus Christ everyday. One of the best ways we can do that
is through diligent scripture study. This week I read these scriptures,
which stuck out to me a lot! Luke 3:4-6 is a great scripture for
describing our roles as members of the church and missionaries. John the
Baptist has one primary job in his ministry, to prepare the way for
Jesus Christ. Are we not doing the exact same thing? One of our purposes
in this church is to prepare the earth for the second coming of Jesus
Christ. I'm excited for that day, as it will be a glorious day for the
righteous.
I also had the chance to speak in one of our
Sacrament Meetings yesterday. I felt like I needed to talk about the
Restoration. I know it's the basic and doctrinal foundation for our
beliefs and church, but we can always use a review of the basics. I know
Joseph Smith was called of God to be an instrument in his hands in the
last days. I know that as we follow God's chosen leaders here on the
earth, we will be blessed. I love this work!
I'm super excited
for Christmas this week! We don't have very many lessons set up but we
have plenty of plans to go caroling, shovel sidewalks, provide service
for the poor, stuff like that. I love giving service to others because
it helps me feel like a true representative of Jesus Christ. He did
everything for others, and I'm trying my best to follow his example.
We
went to the temple this week! I love the temple, it is so beautiful
here in the winter! The temple looks amazing with the snow around it,
pictures are attached!
I'm super excited to skype this upcoming Friday, I hope I won't cry to much when I talk to my family lol.
Have a great week! #GoHawks
Love,
Elder Strate
Zone Conferences that we had this last week.
