This week was pretty good, and it flew by super fast!
Thursday morning we went to the temple with our zone. We get to go every 6 months so it's well anticipated. We went to do a session and arrived early so we got to do some initiatories as well. It was so beautiful! The peace there is beautiful, and was so needed.
They extended this next transfer to 8 weeks instead of 6, so that puts my approximate arrival in the first couple weeks of December. Eee! That feels too soon.
Other than that, we had a great normal week! Right now we are working with 2 part-member less-active families to get them active and to teach and baptize their kids. It has been really neat to remind them of the basics and the reason for why they got baptized years ago. The retention of the members is so important - to keep them involved and with a renewed testimony.
This week I loved studying 3 Nephi 5:13 -
"Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of Him to declare His word among His people that they might have everlasting life."
Remembering that to be called a disciple of Christ means we will remember him always, being a student of His teachings and the words of His prophets.There is no passive way to be a disciple! As it says in the scripture, as his followers we have all been called to declare his word among his people, but not just because - this is salvation we are talking about!
Everlasting life is what God wants for each one of us, and it is our duty to help our brothers and sisters to reach that point. It has been the neatest experience to be able to do this full-time and to see the hand of God every day.
Have a wonderful week!

One of my favorite Christmas trees. Their grandma made it from pine cones and chicken wire about 40 years ago and they put it up every year. Also their super cool Nativity Village.
