Hello, everyone! (Happy Easter, yesterday!)
This week has been glorious! A lot of change is happening, and it's going to be insane!
First off, the Solemn Assembly. That was glorious. No other words can accurately describe the awesomeness of that event. ("I can't see!" "He's too awesome!") #KungFuPanda
Next there was the Priesthood session. The way President Nelson ended the session was so epic, there is only one way to describe how epic it was: "it was like a whale gave birth to a roaring T-rex, that was uppercutting a plato can." #OlanRogers
Then, yesterday. *mic drop*
I'm excited for all the changes that President Nelson has talked about, and that will be happening/is happening now!
... And there's another change happening soon in the Albuquerque mission! Yeah, smartphones are coming... but not for the next month-ish or so! This time, it's not speculation, it's the official word that we are getting devices. *gag*
Pictures (because I forgot until now):
1) Elder Dudley and I at the temple last Monday.
2) Graffiti that people put up in the middle of the desert. (I guess they miss the water, ;)
3) We were on exchanges, I drew that and put that together, Elder Riehle was just there and decided to put his head in the picture. :)
So, with all the changes that are happening, I like how much responsibility is put on us. We no longer report statistics for home and visiting teaching. I enjoy that very much. There is much more trust placed in us as members of the church. It's no longer about the numbers, as some people have got it into their head, and it is more focused on people, like it was in Christ's day. If anyone is struggling accepting this change, I invite you to "be not afraid, only believe." It's as simple as that. Try believing in it, and everything will work out. I have learned that if you believe that something was supposed to happen, then it becomes easier to handle it. Believe that it was meant to happen, and it will all work out. :)
Te whanaunga mo ake tonu!
