Hey Family!
This week was way sweet. I fed a giraffe. Get On
My Level. S. Ben was confirmed in church yesterday. She asked me to
confirm her. Yep, I was pretty nervous. But I didn't mess up the
words or start to bless myself (see last week) so no worries.
This week we had a leadership meeting for trainers, district
leaders, and zone leaders. They talked about improving our teaching and
our finding. We had a teaching showdown! They made a bracket and
President and the assistants were judges and graded our teaching for certain
criteria (giving overviews, using How to Begin Teaching points, etc.).
Well E. Campbell and I were asked to participate. It was nerve
wracking times mucho teaching in front of a panel of judges but we won!
Woohoo. There wasn't a prize or anything though.
After the meeting I exchanged with E. Marshall, who is a new
district leader. They are opening a new unit in Lat Prao (middle of Bkk).
The space they are going to use for church meetings is above the overflow
for a massage place. Yeah...true story. They had district meeting
while I was there, but the door for the 3rd floor (the floor the church will be
on) was locked. So we had district meeting in an extra massage room.
Probably the weirdest place possible for a district meeting.
Thoughts from studies: We learn precept by precept, little
by little. Baby steps. Part of that process is applying the
knowledge we have already received. Sometimes we expect the Lord to give
us some new secret that will help solve our problems or make our life easier
when we have not completely applied what the Lord has already taught us.
I can't expect the Lord to give me further guidance until I have applied
the guidance already given to me. That's why recording revelations and
impressions is so critical so we can review them and work on applying them
fully. I am not sure why I was so impressed by this today, but I felt
like the windows of heaven opened and lit my mind up like a Christmas tree.
The Church is restored. The priesthood authority of
God too. The Book of Mormon is proof. We have a prophet. What
a blessing.
Much Love Family!
