Well it has been quite a
week. On Tuesday, we had the wonderful blessing of going to temple Christmas
conference. It is such a blessing to have a temple so close. They had a
wonderful program with a lot of music and some talks all by missionaries which
brought the spirit of Christmas so strongly. Then we had an amazing lunch. Then
President Lewis spoke to us for a little bit about the temple, how sacred it
is, and the covenants we make there. Then we got to go to the temple! It was
amazing to be in there with so many amazing missionaries. President and Sister
Lewis welcomed each one of us individually in the celestial room. It was
incredible! The spirit of the temple cannot be beat.
This week, Elder Idso and
myself tried to focus on doing better with the first moments with our
investigators. We asked better questions, and really tried to listen and let
the Spirit work. It was amazing, and we saw some wonderful blessings from
it.
Well this transfer has
officially ended. Tomorrow I will be moving to the Lodi 4th Branch! I will be
in Lodi, and on bike! It will be a very different experience. I will be
companions with Elder Fernandez, who I think just got finished getting trained.
It will be fun, and I am sure I will learn so much! It will be fun.
I hope that you all are
getting into the wonderful spirit of Christmas! What a blessed time of the
year. It is no wonder that by celebrating the birth of our Savior, and focusing
on giving rather than getting, there can be a happier spirit in the air.
I love and miss you all.
Stay safe and warm.
Elder Stone
