Weekly

Well this week was a blur,  but I will try to recap everything. 

Tuesday was exchanges with Brandermill, I went with Elder Hansen, who had been out all of 5 days at that point, and we went street contacting on VCU campus, which is terrifying even still for me, but he handled it like an old pro, we taught a few lessons to some of our people, it was good. 

Wednesday was back to back exchages with Elder Jones and Loftus, the other set of elders in our ward. I went with Elder Loftus, we taught a guy named JB, he's a youth pastor at another church and knows his stuff, we had a really really good conversation with him and exchange of ideas, we talked about the Plan of Salvation mostly, and we pointed him to a few places in the bible where he could read about where we get the reasoning for what we belive, he was pretty struck when we showed him biblical evidence. Thats what happens when people hear true doctrine for the first time. We also taught Kashish, one of our investigators the plan of salvation, hes from India and from a Hindu background, a little different teaching someone without a christian background, but hes super cool, he even came to church this week! hoping to have him on date soon.  Wednesday night we also had finding night, so we basically go out to find the people 18+ who still are going to their family wards to recruit them to come to the YSA ward. 

Thursday was the usual grind, finding, contacting ect......

Friday was Zone Conference! Which is always a blast, we talked about member trust, safeguards, and consistency through change. I also sang a musical number with a few other missionaries, that was pretty fun. President and Sister Smith took us through a slideshow of when they took a trip to the Holy Land, and we talked about Easter and the atonement of Christ and the resurrection. President introduced an Easter Challenge for us to do in the weeks leading up to Easter. 

Thats about it for this week, but I wanted to share Mosiah 28:3,  

"Now they were desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul should perish; yea, even the very thoughts that any soul should endure endless torment did cause them to quake and tremble"

Let us all be desirous to share salvaition to every human soul! Personal conversion to Christ is the backbone of what we do, let us all press on in our own conversions and help others along the way.
