I gave a talk in sacrament meeting and then (actually I gave 2 talks: one in the Branch and one in the Ward) the Ward one was about Missionary work and the Branch one was pretty much just my testimony that Jesus is the Christ (Mosiah 3:17). The Ward talk I prepared for, but the Branch one I did not and I learned a lot from both. :) Now I don’t think I’ll ever be good enough to give a General Conference address because I don’t read what I write/prepare. I read a sentence then go off on my own so I lose my place :). Soo, yea… but it was still okay :)
This week was a difficult week for finding for my companion and me. We had 0 new investigators leading into Sunday, but with major blessings we were able to find 2 new investigators and we have worked out a plan to get more this week. The work is still going. I’ve had fufu about 5 of the 7 days this week. It’s not 7 of 7 because I don’t buy on Sundays and exchange on Saturdays. I don’t want to go home because fufu is too good!
My companion is sweet. It’s weird training a second time because I just expect him to know everything that my other trainee knows and he doesn’t. So, I had to take a step back and actually remember to train him and I feel like that will help me raise my kids one day because the second one will most likely need the same attention as the first :)
Also, this week I was super tired. Like way too much and so thank goodness for revelation because now I know why in the D&C section 84:33 it says why I was so tired and it’s all because I wasn’t magnifying my calling!!!!! What?? Who would have guessed, but it’s true. I got lazy but now I’m more focused and less tired so it’s pretty sweet!
This week was good overall :)
