Hey everyone, I hope
you are all doing well.
Things are going well
for us here in Lafayette, we have been having fun teaching and getting to know
the area and members. There are a lot of great people here.
One of the highlights,
but also sad things about this week, is that I was able to watch the funeral
for President Monson, it was a great event, and I loved to hear all the talks. We
are going to miss that amazing man; but I know that he is where he wants to be,
which is on the other side with his wife. And I am very grateful for this
church and the fact that there is a succession of prophets and I know we will
be guided well by our new prophet President Nelson.
We had a great Sunday
this last week and had the opportunity to hear from Elder Bednar. He gave a talk about repentance and the
importance of it. One of my favorite lines in this was when he stated that
repentance is not true if you do not feel a desire to become more like Christ
as you go through it. Just changing a
behavior is not enough. I thought that was very cool seeing as we are using
Christ’s own sacrifice to repent, and the whole purpose of us on this earth is
to become more Christlike.
We also had a lesson
with a man named N this week. He is a nice guy that only recently was released
from jail, he is a super great guy and he loves Christ. He was actually
watching a movie about Christ when we showed up to his home. And his sister is
also interested in hearing our message so we are excited to work with them.
That is the week, I hope
y’all have a great week.
