This week has been so much fun!
Tuesday night we went on exchanges with the missionaries in
La Junta, I was down in La Junta and had a blast! I really like going on
exchanges it is a ton of fun to just go and meet new people and get to know the
other Elders in the Zone. I was able to perform a baptismal interview for one
of their investigators and it was just a really great experience!
There was a fireside Saturday evening and the speaker was
Sally DeFord, she is a composer and one of the songs she wrote is "If the
Savior stood beside me" It was so awesome to hear from her!
She told a few stories and one was about when she was young
and was first taking piano lessons she learned a song that the teacher had not
gotten to yet and of course the teacher was not mad even though at the time
Sally DeFord thought that she would be, and the teach gave her a Ducky sticker,
She then talked about how important it is to encourage each other weather we
are young or old we have to "give each other ducky stickers"
She also talked about being grateful!
She said something that I really like! "God does not
ask us to pray or be thankful because he wants us to thank him, but because He
knows how to be happy"
Our Father in Heaven knows what true joy is! He wants us to
have that! If we are more grateful then we will be happier, I know that is
true. If you don't know that I would invite you to test it :) and I know you
will be happier!
I love the Gospel it is the best! This is where families can
be seal together forever and where joy is found. I know that our Father in Heaven
still speaks to us today :)
Love you guys!
