WEEK #63 - October. Wait a Minute... October?!

Woah. 

Monday: September 28th

Today was so good, pday is just the best. At Walmart I bought pretzels, cereal, and milk. I think that's it... haha! Someone needs to teach me how to cook :) Or I can just make some good Mac and Cheese, or a bowl of Lucky Charms that always seems to do the trick ;) 

MLC with Elder Malm!

Tuesday: September 29th

Woke up at 5am and drove forever across Colorado to get to MLC. I love the beautiful drive out there! Got to see so many other missionaries and discuss how we can direct the Lord's work to move forward, as it ever will be. Driving back was so amazing, the views are just so beautiful! 

Wednesday: September 30th

We taught a couple lessons today, some varied in their craziness. We had one lesson where this husband and wife were constantly bickering back and forth with, just roasting each other for not understanding the story of the Tower of Babel.... ummmm, we were talking about the Book of Mormon, haha! :) Sometimes people are weird. 

Thursday: October 1st

I can't believe it's already October. What. Is. Going. On. This month is going to be AWEsome! Today we had an in person combined District Council with the whole Zone, it was so good! The Spirit was definitely present, especially as we focused our discussion around 3 Nephi 5:13 which starts with, "Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God..." Such a powerful scripture and statement as we declare our discipleship and loyalty to our Savior Jesus Christ!

Friday: October 2nd

Had a great meeting with our ward mission leader. He's basically the guy who helps us the most with helping others come closer to Christ in the area we serve in! 

Saturday: October 3rd

General Conference! A time and a place where we can gather virtually to listen to the words counsel, love, and advice that beloved prophets and apostles have for us! I invite you to discover what this opportunity is, and what lies in store for YOU as you seek it out. 

The classic General Conference setup!

Sunday: October 4th

This last day of General Conference was so AWEsome! One of my favorite quotes was, "Not making a choice is a choice." We in this life must choose a side, staying on the middle ground in the road is still a choice. We must be all in with the Savior and His side! So many people are content with the middle ground, the no man's land, the place of indecision – which is a decision. So we must CHOOSE our CHOICE and act in faith. Great insights!

This week was great, and I was definitely taught a lot. I hope each of you were guided through trials and strengthened amidst hardship! Keep pressing forward. 

Love,

Elder LaRose
