President Nelson's Devotional


Funny: We had an escort when we were walking to the church for the special devotional on Sunday night. He was 5 and had a very funny attitude. We complimented his new shoes and he told us the proper term was his "fly kicks" and they were also his speed shoes which proceeded to show us how fast he can run. Haha, he also told us his name was Theodore but once we started calling him that he told us that Theodore was his not in church name, it was actually Henry and since we were in the church, we were to call him Henry. It was my favorite walk into church yet.

Spiritual: This week was a memorable one that was filled with many spiritual experiences. One that I loved was the broadcast with President Nelson. It was fantastic but the best part came after. We had a family we were teaching there and they expressed to us afterwards that that didn't understand most of what was said (the Abrahamic Covenant and Gathering of Israel is kinda complex) but told us that they could feel a power that came off of President Nelson as he spoke. What a great testimony builder that even though people might not totally understand the message, the Holy Ghost will still testify of its truthfulness.

Where I am at: We have had a blustery week and i know that I will be feeling sand in my hair for a long time. It has been fun to walk around in the stiff wind. The work down here is doing great! We met a lot of new people this week and we are chuck full of appointments. This upcoming week should be another good one. We have zone conference and interviews coming up and we are excited to learn how to be better missionaries. Hope y'all have a great week!
