So
it’s been another week here in the Grand Junction 4th ward. The weather
has turned a little chillier, as we've already had one night that reached below
freezing. Brrrrrr! But it’s been pretty mild during the day.
Well
conference was a great experience. We went to the stake center to watch
them all. Besides the wonderful talks that were given, what I also
noticed was the Tabernacle Choir's pieces were unusually good. I really
enjoyed the different arrangement of the songs. They also did a really
good job sort of correlating the choir pieces with the conference talks.
Overall conference was great.
One
talk that spoke to me was Edward Dube, that African seventy. He told of
how he did a lot of work in his farm and tried to tell his mother to look back
and see all of the work they had finished, and she responded by simply saying
something along the lines of, "Edward, we still have more to
do." I thought about my mission, how I am 23 months out, almost
done, and am having the tendency to "look back" at all that I had
done. But the fact is, I still have one month left, and I cannot afford
to look back now. It really encouraged me to square my shoulders and
finish up strong.
Not
much on the missionary front. The area is struggling profusely with missionary
work and I don't have a lot of reference points to work with. So we are
really starting from the ground up. Hope it starts up soon!
Thank
you all for your support.
