Hey everyone!!
This week was one of the best weeks ever. Monday night last week
started weird but exciting. We were all three of us since we're in a
tripanionship its awesome. And it was Monday night we were all chillin
on the couch right before bedtime. And then these super loud bangs
went off, car alarms were going off it was so loud the apartment
shook. We thought it was a terrorist bombing. Or maybe Jesus came but
it was just a random lightning bolt in the parking lot next to our
complex it wasn't even cloudy just decided to strike.
Then Wednesday we had a meeting with the who mission no one but
President Griffin knew Elder Holland was coming. We all lined up for a
picture and he walked in. He shook our hands when we went into the
chapel and when he was speaking he said that when he looks into a
missionaries eyes, (which he did to all of us) he was interviewing all
of us and looking at our soul!!! Pretty scary stuff.
So he went on and said some wonderful things, about missions. And
then while everyone was taking notes and having a good dandy time he
pounded the podium it was about as loud as the thunder 2 lights before
when I thought we all died and he got huge and scary. I was so scared
I just sank in my seat. I don't remember what he saying something
about nicodemus in the New Testament and a question he asked to Jesus.
But here is a take he talked about
"Kick when you don't want to kick and stroke when you don't want to
stroke,/ there's no trophies or ribbons in the start of the race the
trophies are on the other side of the pool." He was talking about his
friend a while back who was a Olympic swimmer. His name was don
showman and don would swim so hard his eyes would break blood vessels
and everything would be pink and he would usually throw up after every
race or sometimes in the race and still win.
And of course related that to our missions and pushing to the end. So
he is a very intense person. Then the next day I went with my last
zone to the temple with President cause last transfer we hit a certain
number of baptisms.
Love you be safe at treck don't forget to send me pictures of it
