A Plethora of Answers

I started the week with a couple of questions and most were answered. On exchanges with the APs, I learned from Elder Richins how to have things stick better in my brain. I need to write stuff down or I really need to ask the question when I read scriptures “why is this in here?” Or “How can this apply to my life?” This has made my studies way more meaningful. Plus, I study things that I really want to learn. The exchange was also very fun and we ate at Angelos! I also got to see some members of my last area.

Then we had interviews this week and they were so good! All district meetings were happening at the stake center so we got to see everyone in the zone. I absolutely love the Franklin Zone! Anyways, in interviews I learned what Elder Maynes was talking about in his talk on integrity. I have had that question since General Conference. Pretty much what happened was say the next to lowest bitter was $100 but Elder Maynes offered $50. The boss man said if you can move it to $95 then we will get more money and we can split the extra $45 for ourselves. It is being dishonest to get more money for yourself. I also learned that I may be leaving this area on thanksgiving. That would be really sad, but I will do what the lord wants.

Then I had the question all week about, what can I do to improve. I have little patience in slow improvement ha! I was reading the scriptures and came a crossed Alma 32:43. I learned that I just need to be faithful, diligent, and patient to be able to grow. I need to realize that it is all in the lord’s timing not mine in how I grow. I have a stronger testimony in scriptures study and prayer. I have been trying to see the blessings from prayer but I realized that not only do I have to pray but I have to word for my answers. I can’t just say my list in prayers then not do anything about it.

Patti is still on fire as a new convert! Her husband came to church and is repenting so he should be baptized soon. Also, we are doing better in both wards to prioritize the repentant. I love y’all and have a blessed week!
