On Friday we went to Tucson to have a meeting with President Passey, Sister Passey and the Assistants to the President (also known as MLC). It was incredible! Such a spiritual feast! The main topic was faith and how we can find with faith, increase our faith, etc etc. Really great!
Then of course conference this week. It was INCREDIBLE! I learned so much! It was awesome to see all the repeating themes, like "Follow the Prophet" three times in a row! One of my favorite talks was by Elder Bednar. I love the story he shared about how his older son helped his younger son when he got hurt, and then the younger son turned around and went to share with all his friends the "soothing balm" he had experienced. Especially as a missionary, I have felt the "soothing balm" of the gospel and I just want to share it with everyone. Sometimes I might seem a little crazy, sometimes it might be confusing for others. But I know the sweetness of it, and if others just open up a little to "experiment on the word" they will come to realize the sweetness of it as well. I can promise it. I have seen people become happier, more dedicated children of God as they let the gospel change their life. I hope that all of you can either share the "soothing balm" of the gospel with someone else, or experiment on it yourself. I can promise that it will be a life changing experience.
Well Silver City has been fun! It is a lot cooler here (which is so nice! No more sweating like I'm in a sauna haha). Hermana Magnusson is so much fun! We have a lot of similar views for how we want to do the work, so it has been great working together! She is so willing to help me out as I try to figure out this new calling and this new area! I love her and am excited to be serving with her!
Well sorry this is so short. Hopefully this week will be more "normal missionary" style haha! Love you lots! Keep on keeping on!
Love,
Hermana Lundquist
