I Did Not See That Coming...

Hey yall! Hope yall had a great week! This week was great! Some big changes, but lots of great things to come.


So probably the biggest surprise was there has been an out of sync(emergency) transfer. I am no longer in Victoria YSA, but I am now in Victoria 2nd Ward. This is likely a temporary change for the next few weeks, I'll likely be back in the YSA in January. The reason for the change is my new companion, Elder Schmidt, has been really struggling the last few months, and just lost his driving priveliges, so they needed a switch-up. I am now technically training, and am a district leader. Lots of changes, and I found out about it yesterday haha. However, the Lord has a great plan in store, and I am excited to see what comes next! It may be hard, but there is still much for me to learn!

Anyways, heres what happened this week:

Highlights:
-Exchanges with the Assistants! 
-Christmas Zone Conference!
-Interviews with President Gill!
-Stake Christmas Devotional!

Lowlights:
-Got a little sick this week, but a quick recovery!
-Got transfered out of the YSA :(

Exchanges with the Assistants: This week I went on Exchange with Elder Roth, one of the Assistants. We have known each other our whole missions, so it was a ton of fun to be companions for a day! We also saw a lot of miracles! One was we got Wendys for lunch, and while we were in line, I struck up a conversation with a YSA age guy in line behind me. We had a fantastic conversation! He was interested in learning more about the church and coming to YSA activities! He is also from Belgium which was pretty cool! But the exchange was fantastic! A definite highlight of the week!

Zone Conference: For Zone Conference this week, it was all Christmas themed! A bunch of Musical numbers, and lots of Christmas videos and messages! It was incredible! I was even able to participate in 2 of the musical numbers(piano and guitar) and play the piano for the conference! It was busy organizing and setting up for the conference, but it went great! Got to also see Elder Guiterrez, an old companion I had back in Surrey, so that was great!

Stake Christmas Devotional: Going along with music, we had a massive Christmas devotional for the Stake here in Victoria on Sunday! And WOW there are so many people in this stake that are musically talented! The Spirit was super strong, and definitely a great way to kick off the Holidays!

I guess kind of something that has been on my mind lately is Light, and how Jesus Christ is the Light and the Life of the World. I have been thinking about how Jesus Christ is like a Prism, He refracts the light from the Father to all of us, all over the world, and as the light hits us, we can either choose to be another Prism, or not. If we choose to be, we then continue the chain of refracting light to others around us! It truly makes us the angels in other people's lives! Theres an incredible video that goes along with this. Its called Hold Up Your Light, by Elder Marcus B. Nash of the Seventy. You can find it on Gospel Library or the Church Website. I invite you all to watch it! It shows how a simple act of kindness can carry the Light of the Gospel to everyone! As you do so, I promise that youll be touched by the Holy Ghost to help you this Christmas Season to Light the World!

Anyways yall, thats it for this week! I hope yall have a fantastic week! Take Care!

Haawa!
