Mission and Stake Conference

Hey everyone how’s life? 

Things are going pretty good down here in the good old south. We had a really good weekend because we got a visit from Elder Klebingat and Elder Oaks! It was a super great time listening to them and hearing all of their advice for us as missionaries. Some of the highlights were when Elder Oaks taught us a bit about humility and becoming Christlike. For the humility part he told us that a misconception with humility is that we need to feel as though we are below everyone else.  He stated that humility is the ability to recognize and accept being taught new things, and to recognize that everyone has different strengths, and can help you on your path towards the celestial kingdom. Then with the becoming Christlike part he stated that there is a difference between having a testimony of the Gospel and being a disciple of Christ. He says that having a testimony and testifying is to know and say something, but to become a true disciple of Christ we must do, we must act on our knowledge. And also we must act on it for the right reasons, not because we just know it is the right thing to do, but also because it is the desire of our hearts to do it. I loved learning these things and many others from Elder Oaks, it was a great experience.

Also this weekend for Stake Conference we got the opportunity to spend a night in Chalmete with Elder Stoddard and Isrealsen, both of whom were past companions of mine. It was great to see them and get to talk and catch up with them.

And that is it for this week, I hope y’all have an awesome week!
