This week was so great! It's finally starting to get cold out and everyone is putting up their Christmas lights, best time of year! We had some awesome success and miracles this week and I just had a lot of fun with it all.
We had Stake Conference this weekend and it was one of the best ones I have been to. The theme was "spiritual self-reliance" and all of the talks were very powerful. One speaker shared the story of a ten year period in his life when he was sued for 400 million dollars and was constantly and falsely advertised as a criminal in the news. The other 3 owners of the company were in a similar situation and 2 of them committed suicide along with some of their wives. The other owner pleaded guilty to a crime he didn't commit so that he would be put in prison and the people coming after him would finally leave him alone. The speaker shared how he and his wife made it out of that situation fine. He said it was due to their cleaving to their temple covenants and the promise from the Savior that all would be fine. It was such a strengthening talk.
It was also a pretty funny week because of my sleeping problems haha. According to all of my companions, I talk in my sleep a lot. They think it is pretty funny because I have a really good attitude in my sleep and am saying stuff like "Aw man thats sick!" or "Woodland Park? Sweet!" The funniest night though was when I woke up and was freaking out because I thought we had lost the phone. So I was tearing off my bedding and stuff and then I turned on the light and woke up my companion and told him I couldn't find the phone and he was obviously confused haha. then I went and grabbed the phone and said I was going to call the Elders in the other ward and ask them where the phone was........so after my companion told me I had the phone in my hand, I went back to bed very confused haha.
Anyways, we have had some amazing spiritual experiences this week as well. Hunter is doing so well and is planning to be baptized on the 10th! So excited for him! He also drove down on Sunday to the Springs to watch Stake Conference instead of watching the broadcast because he wanted to meet more people, golden!!
Kyle is also progressing very well! We finally met his inactive wife and had a super spiritual lesson. We talked about families and the temple and she bore her testimony about wanting to have a priesthood holder in the home and being married in the temple and was crying and it was just perfect. I think Kyle will really be even more motivated now that his wife is getting more involved.
This week I have really felt closer to my Savior and it is great. Well I hope everyone has a fantastic week and merry Christmas!
