Temple Time!

September 7, 2020

The House of the Lord

Well, welcome to September, I guess. September in Texas is a lot like August in Texas, in that it's going to hit 93 degrees today, and then plummet to a high of 48 this Wednesday. Yayyyyyy

Anywho, missionary work! Our mission recently moved into phase 1, which means that we still can't street or door contact, but now we can have meetings with people we're teaching in their homes as long as we have masks on. So do my days still feel more or less the same now than they did two weeks ago? Yes. Yes they do.

Remember how I was in a trio? Yeah, not anymore. Elder Perez got transferred down to Lubbock to be a Zone Leader, so it's just me and Elder Erickson (and Elders Castleberry and Tomisin too) here in Plainview. So that's going to be an adventure!

We had Zone Conference last week, and it was awesome! Probably my favorite part was when President Child talked about Repentance. He spoke about how it's not just about turning away from sin, but also turning toward Christ and allowing Him to truly change us. It was an awesome talk and something I think all of us need to remember!

I got to go to the temple last week! Elder Erickson didn't have his endowment when he came out on his mission, so I got the opportunity to go through with him. It was really neat, and made me realize I haven't been since December in the Mexico MTC. I also wouldn't have had the opportunity to go at all on my mission because Comodoro doesn't have a temple, so thanks Corona, I guess

. In fact, I challenge all of you to look over the last six months and look for one positive thing that has come out of this pandemic, and then share it with someone. I promise you that you will be able to see some pretty awesome miracles you might not have noticed in the moment.
