Elder Neil L. Andersen!!

This week Elder Andersen is coming to the mission to speak to us! The entire mission will be in one stake center. It's gonna be crazy. To prepare, we've been studying all his talks and and reading his book, "The Divine Gift of Forgiveness." It's been incredible. 

This week we had a blast on campus just dividing and conquering, talking to everyone. We were able to start teaching quite a few of them which is awesome! We had some crazy experiences this week especially. I ran into a drunk guy but I've never really met a drunk guy so I didn't really know he was drunk until too far into the conversation. We also met a lady who believes in fairies. Everything's out there guys. 

One of my favorite quotes from Neal L. Anderson: "The sun never sets on righteous missionaries testifying of the Savior." So true! Every time of day there is a missionary in some part of the world testifying of Jesus Christ. Isn't that crazy? 

This week I've been learning to look for the best in others and uplift and motivate them. It's been awesome. 

I know that Jesus loves you and that's why He wants you to grow. Jesus never wants you to coast. If you're coasting you're not taking the steps you need to to change your nature and come back to live with God. And that process is the most liberating experience in life! Make use of the Atonement of Jesus Christ every day of your life! And you will feel God's love for you more every day. 

Love you all!
