Well, this was a pretty good week. The best thing that happened was zone conference today! It was super powerful! President Chatfield is the man. He is so inspiring. Let me tell you a little about what he taught.
He talked about Moses and how the first thing the Lord did when he got to the top of the Mountain he told him to take his shoes off. Moses was very smart and learned and was even next in line to be pharaoh. He had just climbed this giant mountain and now he was telling him to take his shoes off? The Lord did this to test him. He wanted to see if he was willing to follow anything he said, even if it didn't make any sense. In our life the Lord sometimes tells us to do things that don't make sense to us. He asks us to "take off our shoes". Just like Moses, he is testing us to see if we have the faith to follow what he asks us to do. What are we willing to do for the Lord when he asks us? What are we willing to give up in our lives to follow Christ? The Lord is waiting to bless us and all we have to do is "take off our shoes."
I hope that made sense. I can't write near as powerful as he can speak. But anyways.. Let me tell you about one of our families right now too. Richard and Beatrice. They are progressing very fast. They have a baptismal date on the 31st of January, and they haven't missed church since we invited them. The only problem is that their landlord doesn't like us to come, and they are super busy. I hope that we will be able to over come these challenges and get them to make a covenant with God.
Well thanks for all you guys do. I hope your week was good and that you plan to make this week better. I love you all.
