| Watching General Conference at the Oakland Temple Visitors Center |
HI
EVERYONE!!!!!! This week was great!!!
I
don't remember where I left off from last week... sorry....
BUT!
Monday
3/27: I made Mexican pie! And we fixed our light problem in our bathroom by
putting up Christmas lights :)
Tuesday:
I read Helaman 15 & 16 for part of my personal study and learned a lot
about keeping covenants and also seeing how there are 3 kinds of people on our
mission:
·
Those who will be ready and listen to you
·
Those who will take more effort but will
eventually listen to you
·
Those who are not interested at all.
I've
also come to see the importance of always reading your scriptures daily, and
praying daily and going to church. If you feel your testimony wavering or
you're doubting; do these things and I know that if you turn to God you won't
have to fear or doubt. Doubt not, fear not!
Wednesday:
A Book of Mormon request on teaching center made my day when I called him!!! He
said he was super excited to meet the missionaries and that he loved it when
they stopped by back in the day. He's recovering from a stroke and has a very
positive attitude with it. He said if that's what it took to humble him and
turn him to God then he's super grateful and the Elders said that he committed
to be baptized!
Thursday:
We got up at 5:35 am to run before
sports... yay. WATCH THE NEW EASTER VIDEO!!!! https://youtu.be/Ly9xk59Qkfc Find peace
in a troubled world by learning more of Jesus Christ. This Easter season, learn
principles of peace from the #PRINCEofPEACE. Go
to www.mormon.org to learn all about the ‘Principles
of Peace’ and do the really cool daily things to prepare for Easter!! Use #PRINCEofPEACE
on your social media too!

Friday:
On of our members gave us a referral for her nanny! We’re going to see them this
Wednesday! Also, a girl I met on a chat session from mormon.org got baptized back
in February. She got engaged to her LDS boyfriend and they're getting married
next month!!!!!!
So for
Saturday morning we were at the church for the first session of General
Conference and a member from the Samoan ward fed us lunch. Saturday afternoon
we had lunch at a members house and then watched the afternoon session of
General Conference at their house (yes, we had 2 lunches xD)
Sunday morning
we were at the church again for the morning session of General Conference. Then,
Sunday afternoon we watched the afternoon session at the Oakland Temple
Visitors Center. I don't know which was my favorite talk, but I loved Elder
Coasta's talk for investigators and recent converts! By the way, I actually
know his daughter! She's here in our mission and is a Visitor Center sister but
since I've been here in the mission, she's been serving as a full time proselyting
missionary instead of splitting her time at the Visitors Center. But I've seen
her a few times.
Love you all,
Sister Phillips
