This week was pretty awesome. One of the main highlights was that we got to meet with President Schmutz, a member of the Seventy. He spent most of the morning encouraging us to Know, Feel, and Do. All of these related to our understanding and application of the Gospel in our lives and he challenged our whole mission to spent more time finding.
The whole afternoon we had a big discussion about the Doctrine of Christ and discussed the roles of the Godhead from 2 Nephi 31:5-21. Elder Schmutz shared some really cool insights and we learned some really cool things that I had never realized before. We also got to do a special MLC and talk about all the things we learned and what we need to improve on as the leaders of the Mission.
Also we have had some pretty cool miracles with our investigators. One of them, a referral named William, accepted a baptismal date which was super awesome and then we taught another referral named Felicissimo, great name btw, but he has been coming to church and we are going to give him a baptismal date this week as well so the work has been going a lot better lately.
Also we have been playing basketball every week with the district which has been fun. We have a Elder from New Zealand in our district who played rugby, he's big and he always bullies me when we play but it is really fun.
I know the Doctrine of Christ is central to everything we do and it is the way to get back to our Heavenly Father. Another challenge is to study 2 Nephi 3:5-21 and list the roles of each member of the Godhead. We made a list as a mission in one of the pics. Anyways it's really cool.
Love you tons!!!
