I love learning!

This week, I feel like I have really learned a lot.  More than usual.  We had our quarterly Zone Conference, and I am more and more impressed with President Rahlf (My mission president) every time I hear him teach.  He is so smart, and it is so great to learn something new from him every time.  

This week, he taught us about the Light of Christ, and how it is the literal light in everything.  Even the Sun.  Without Christ, Light would be no more.  And also, how every single person who is born is born with that Light of Christ in them.. it is just up to the person if they continue to get more light, or if they diminish that light.  And as missionaries, we are blessed because we have some extra light :) It's awesome!!! I want to continue to do all that I can to make sure I have that light in my countenance.

We also have some new mission goals, and they are really putting a lot of emphasis on talking to new people, and really trying to spread our message.  And it is really hard, because that would have to be one of my biggest weaknesses... talking to random people.  But the more I do it, the more confident I feel, and it is amazing that when I have the spirit with me, it doesn't necessarily become easier, but the people become more receptive, and they are willing to listen.  It is still something that I am trying to improve, and I hope that it can become my strength by the end of my mission. 

Well, Jesus the Christ is amazing.  Like I have said in the past, if you have the chance, you should get it and read it! :) Jesus Christ is such an amazing example, and we should all strive to accept his invitation to "be thou perfect, even as I am." I accept that challenge! :)

Other than that.... we have had a lot of eating appointments this week, so that has been fantastic.  The Filipino people really know how to cook... but they also shouldn't cook certain things. Like rat, frog, etc.  It's super fun! :P hehe.

Love you all! Stay True
