All my notes got deleted so sorry about the trash email.
This week was the craziest week on my mission by far with all the stuff that has happened
We had to have and elder stay with us this whole week because a few got in trouble and were waiting for the seventy to decided whether or not they go home. They did some pretty dumb crap. He got news though on Tuesday that he is getting sent home and he will be leaving Friday. He was pretty bummed about it and it hit him that it was actually happening. So yeah we were just forced into this whole mess of stuff and watched him while stuff was being figured out. My Companion was also sick for half the week so it started of trash. Other than that, this week in Mission leadership Council we decided to get rid of Facebook because it is a piece of crap. The mission has found no success through it and all missionaries do is waste time on it so we tossed it. I know some missionaries are going to be pissed they actually have to start working. Conference this weekend was the best. We watched it together as a Zone on saturday and had a potluck of food for everyone. On Sunday we invited people to watch conference and then headed to the church to watch it with missionaries. After the morning session we hopped on the train and headed to downtown salt lake to go watch it in person. It was amazing being able to listen to our living prophet and his apostles testify of our savior Jesus christ. The conference center is freaking massive and the choir is amazing. I hope I can go next year. Easton is Killin it in the Philippines MTC and is getting bloated on rice. He’s gonna come back bulky.
Today we have a zone kickball game so we will see how this uncoordinated zone does.
In the “Price of Priesthood Power” by the prophe Russell M. Nelson he says:
I fear that too many have sadly surrendered their agency to the adversary and are saying by their conduct, “I care more about satisfying my own desires than I do about bearing the Savior’s power to bless others.”
We can bless others as we dedicate our lives to let God prevail in our life. He knows what will make us most happy even though it may seem like it’s the opposite. Turn to the savior and we will have that power to bless others everyday
