Hey Fam!
I am so excited we just found out
this week we will be having our zone conference next week in the Temple!
Wow I have not been to the Temple since last December and yes I miss it
soooooo much. This week will be awesome too! Normally our mission
leadership council happens in Helena and is just a one day thing but President
Mecham is having this one in Billings and it will take 2 days. This is
how it was exactly a year ago when I went to my first one. I love these
because I get to see President Mecham in action and it always adds to my
testimony of the Priesthood and the sacred calling that he has been called to
as the President of the Montana Billings Mission. So we will leave
Missoula today at 2 and will not get back here till late Wednesday night.
So a couple weeks ago when I was in
Kalispell I accepted the 30 day challenge to go 30 days without saying anything
negative about anybody. Up until now I had not made it passed day 4
without restarting but I am currently on day 7 and still going strong!
This is one of the most awesome things I have ever done. I feel
like I normally have a good outlook on life but things are getting
exponentially better! 2 weeks ago the thought can quite clear that I need
to start a prayer journal to write down the things that come to my mind as I am
praying. Ethan gave me a sick journal before my mission and I was gonna
use it when I fill up the one I have been writing in but now it has become my
prayer journal. 2 weeks ago all I did was write the words, "Prayer
Journal" in the front and that was it. Since then I have had 3
different missionaries act on promptings and invite/commit me to keep a prayer
journal. I started writing in it just a few days ago. I love being
able to look back on things I have prayed about and not just remember the
feeling I had when I prayed about them but also the impressions I had in my
mind. I seriously invite all of you to do this if you are not already.
It is amazing.
My new companion, Elder Thomas, is a
giant. He is 6'6" and played football. He is from Orem Utah
and is hilarious. Him and I get along quite well :)
Thanks for all the love and support
I receive from you all!
Love,
Elder
