The Living Christ

Howdy y'all! I'm sad to say that things didn’t quite work out for Gabby this past week. Due to the recent elections, we had to be inside our houses at an earlier time for fear of riots. But ya know, since Biden was in the lead, the rioters had no reason to go looting, I guess. I had interviews with President and Sister Maurer and that went well. I love every chance I get to meet with them and chat. 

On top of having interviews, we had a mission wide zoom call where we discussed about a talk given by Elder Bednar in a mission leadership conference in 2018. It was on what revelation is, how we can get it, and what we need to do when we receive it. It was really awesome. One thing that struck me was when he said, "Repetition is a vehicle through which the Holy Ghost can enlighten our minds, influence our hearts, and enlarge our understanding." He continued to say that if we ever are listening to others in sacrament meeting or conference and we think "wait, I already know this", we should not turn off our minds and not pay attention. If we ever do this, Elder Bednar has called these people to repentance hahaha. 

Idk If I told y’all yet, but it is a new goal of mine to memorize the entire document of The Living Christ. President Maurer asked our zone to specifically memorize the first two paragraphs, but I want to know all of it, so that's what I'm working on. 

Even though we didn’t teach many people this week, we got to do a lot of service. I went multiple times to volunteer at Habitat for Humanity, and even had the chance to get things prepped for a Veterans Day golf tournament through the MMIA. It was really fun and I am satisfied with my efforts. There isn't much left to say besides that I am grateful for this opportunity the Lord and my family has blessed me with to come out and serve a mission. I am sure to make every second count and lose myself in the work. God's the GOAT!
