I hope everyone is having a great week and dont forget to wish Mal a Happy
Birthday on the 18TH!
This email is going to be quick!
Monday night Elder Bin Salleh got a bus ticket and made his way back to
Manila, finishing his mission! Im gonna miss Elder Bin Salleh so much but I am
so grateful that I got to really know him before he went home! Now Elder Lloyd
goes home in just 1 month so we are going to WORK our last few weeks serving the
Lord.
We had it planned to! There were no meetings at all this week until
Thursday so Elder Lloyd and I were rejoicing in the time we had to just work the
whooollle day! And then....
Elder Lloyd got some pretty severe food poisoning throwin him into a
hospital bed for 4 days!
It was so quiet in the room but we had quite the laughs. Every 30 minutes
one of us would mumble "We are supposed to be at the ____ Family right now"
hahhahaha. we were really making the cup half empty, but it was just for
laughs!
Because we had quite some time in the hospital, we watched a plethora of
General Conference videos, including ones from the 70's 80's 90's and on.
One of my favorites was from Elder Holland titled Safety for the Soul,
another being about our confidence in ourselves.
President Nelsons most recent talk spoke to me as well. We need to follow
the words of the Prophets and Apostles.
As we watched the funeral service of President Thomas S. Monson, I thought
about the last things he taught us all at Conference. One being Charity which is
so needed in our time. And the other about reading the Book of Mormon. Both are
simple choice that we ourselves make. No one can make us have charity. No one
can make us feast upon the words of the Book of Mormon. They are simple choice
that are up to us to make. A simple commandment, and an enormous blessing to
everyone we come into contact with. I love you all. Have a great week. Find time
each day to allow the Lord to speak to you through reading His words.
