Well this week was wonderful! I can't believe that it is already halfway through this transfer, it is going so quick. This week was pretty quick with exchanges and a few conferences.
Started off the week by going on exchanges with the Elders in La Jara. I went with Elder Fuller down to La Jara and we had an awesome day. I came out with Elder Fuller and love him to death, he's a great guy. He really likes deep doctrine and singing so it was a fun day. La Jara is this tiny little town that would be so fun to serve in. It was pretty cool because we walked around a bit and found 2 new people to teach just by talking to the people on the streets.
Later in the week we had our Zone Conference and that was really good. We were trained on making our studies more spiritual and full of revelation. We were also taught about extending commitments to people. President and Sister Stevenson are just awesome and I learn so much form them.
The next big thing we had going on this week was Stake Conference. The Alamosa Stake had a visiting member of the 70 come and speak, Elder Scott. He was awesome. The main message that he gave to us from the 12 and the First Presidency was that we need to develop unshakable faith in Jesus Christ by reading the Book of Mormon and keeping the Sabbath Day holy because we will need it for the coming days. Also that we need to do more to share the gospel with those around us. It was a great conference.
It was pretty neat because we had Doyle come with us to Stake conference and we were sitting in the 2nd row and I was really hoping that Elder Scott would introduce himself to Doyle before the meeting because I thought we probably wouldn't be able to see him after. So Elder Scott went and shook everyone's hand in the first row and said hi and I totally thought he would say hi to Doyle but he didn't see him. So I was a little bummed but I also thought to myself that he is the servant of the Lord and the Spirit will tell him what he needs to do. Then 2-3 minutes before the meeting started, he came down off the stand just to come and tell Doyle he was happy to see him there! I was pretty excited about that.
The other cool thing that happened was just being able to teach Brian and Teresa. brian was baptized several months ago in a different area but moved here and is now less active and Teresa is his girlfriend who we are teaching. The last couple times, we have just read the Book of Mormon with them because they still aren't doing it and they have been awesome lessons. This time we read with them again and I really think they will read and pray about the Book of Mormon this time!
Anyways it has been a great week and I have learned so much. I think it will be a lifelong pursuit of mine to develop unshakable faith in Jesus Christ.
Love,
Elder Morgan
