Man this week was a pretty good week. It was awesome to see how much of an impact the #LIGHTtheWORLD has made on social media down here. There have been a ton of non-members "liking" and "sharing" the videos and posts. We haven't got any referrals yet but hopefully they are on their way soon! So I hope you all are doing your part as well. You never know who you can impact.
We had MLC (Mission Leadership Conference) this week with President and the "First Lady", the AP's, ZL's and the STL's. It was super good. We have had a little bit of a slip in obedience over the last few months. Not just the little stuff. So we discussed what we thought might be the causes of all of it. And after like 2 hours of discussion we decided that we need to go "Back to the Basics." We have become too "relaxed" with everything. The way we talk and act. Which doesn't seem to do much, but in the long run it makes a huge difference. Think of how long it takes to build up to have a healthy body. By missing a day or two leads to weeks then months of not working out. And before you know it, you are back to the way you were before. And in our case, the people we were before our mission. Which isn't really bad. But not the way a mission should affect you. You should come out mentally and physically different. Well not just different, but BETTER. So we need to go back to the basics of the little things. So Elder Phillips and I are going to prepare a training on this for our Zone Training Meeting for this Thursday. Should be good.
The Christmas Devotional was awesome. The music was sweet! I loved President Eyring's talk. I don't have my notes, sooo I can't really remember all that he talked about. But I thought it was good.
Well, some of you asked if it was cold here in California. YES IT IS! I have calculated the temperature that I can't handle and need to put on a jacket or sweater. 65 degrees. Yes. 65 degrees is when I start shivering. When it drops below 50, I dread getting out of the warm car to go knock on doors haha. That's only happened a few times though. I don't know what I am going to do when I go home and it drops below 50 during the summer haha. We will just have to see!
Well, I gotta get running now but I love you all and will talk to you next week!
