Stand as a Witness

I hope you are all doing well because I really miss each and every one of you!  This week was A LOT better than last week.  Although it sucks being sick, it feels amazing when you start to heal so it all worked out :)

We had our zone conference this week and it was incredible as always.  There's always something special about hearing from your Mission President because you know that he holds the keys and authority to give the missionaries in this mission the guidance and instruction that they need to carry out our responsibilities as representatives of Jesus Christ.  The theme that I got out of this zone conference was standing as a witness of Jesus Christ.  Every member of this church has their own witness as Jesus Christ and all of us have an obligation to protect our faith and constantly exercise it by following His example and learning more about His word.  Stand as a witness and let nobody touch that foundation that you have built as acknowledging Jesus Christ as our Savior and Redeemer.  Great zone conference I enjoyed it immensely.  

Of course the struggle we had this week was, you guessed it, investigators attending church.  Sometimes it gets really hard when you spend a whole week teaching about the importance of church attendance and your investigators don't show up to church.  You just love them so much and want them to exercise their faith but DANG JUST COME TO CHURCH.  Hahaha nevertheless we'll keep working and I know Heavenly Father will provide ways for them to come to church.  

Here's a picture of my companion and Blackie Chan lurking in the background there. Look at how cute my companion is freak.

Alright that's it for this week I love you all have an amazing week and STAND AS WITNESSES!
