Yeah.
I run out of clever subject lines.
So
this week was long and great! Between meetings and teaching it has been a
fulfilling and fun week!
We
had President Interviews this week and that was great! President Clark is
such an inspired man! Ha quick funny story about that too, Sister Clark
has a fun way of making you want to be on time. If you are late you get
to plank (get on the floor in push up position and rest on your forearms) until
she's tired. It's become a mission wide thing. Every Zone
Conference there's always elders planking at the start. I've escaped planking
so far in my mission and Sister Clark even told me she was impressed that I
haven't had to plank yet and she'd be watching me. So this past
Friday Elder Agazzani and I were 1 minute late to her training while
President did interviews, so he and I got to plank until Sister Clark was
tired. Dang! She didn't tire very quickly! After 4 and half minutes
she said she was tired and we went and sat back down for her training!
Usually it's about 2 minutes of planking! She told me that since I had never
been late that I deserved more cause I should've been in the habit of it
already! Psh. Sister Clark! Ha she's a great lady!
Our
stake got a new stake presidency, so all the members were all antsy and anxious
to find out their new stake presidency! We had Elder Baxter from the
First Quorum of the Seventy and Elder Packer of the Seventy show up to
reorganize it! They gave phenomenal talks and I want to share my favorite
quote from Elder Baxter's:(also read this in an English accent cause he's from
London! It makes the quote so much cooler!!)
"We ought to have a spring in our step, a smile on our face
and a twinkle in our eye because there's a fire burning in our hearts."
Whoa!
So good! Here's what I wrote down after his talk: "We all should let
the light of Christ shine through us at every moment of the day! We
should have our burning testimonies light our whole being all the time because
we have the truth! We have purpose! We have the knowledge that we
are never alone! We have so much that should make us happy ALL THE
TIME! Sometimes I think we just let other things smother or dampen our
fire. Maybe we lose sight of our purpose in being here. Maybe we sin and
don't fully believe that Christ can forgive and heal us. Whatever is
smothering or dampening your fire, get rid of it! Let your divine
potential shine through your actions, the way you look, talk, what you do.
These are all indicators of how much you are letting that light from your fire
show! Every thought, decision, and act will, however minutely, eternally
affect you! Choose to do good, choose to let your light shine so that
others will know 'where to look for their salvation!'" So
yeah. I filled up a lot of my journal with stuff from his talk!!
Love
yall!
