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!
