This past week was way good, it was probably the busiest one so far. A lot of crazy encounters with people happened. For example, we were biking down the left side of the road. Biking in the same direction down the right side of the road was a kid around 18 years old. So, we catch up with him, and just kinda start talking/yelling to him from across the road. Apparently that was enough to catch his interest, so we talked for a while, and got some contact info, and set up a meeting with him later. It was way cool, Heavenly Father was definitely working out the details of that one.
On Thanksgiving Day, we had our Zone's Christmas conference. It was way good, there was so much that was said about raising your vision to what God's vision is. We have no idea the potential we have, even in this life. Like, we know that we can become like God in the life to come, but what about now? What does tomorrow hold in store for our potential? To quote Elder Uchtdorf's talk "A Summer with Great Aunt Rose", "Now is part of eternity." Every day, we can rise to our Father's standard for us. For example, maybe today God wants you to be a bit more patient, a bit more loving, show a bit more faith in Christ. Fulling God's will for us everyday is how we prepaid to fulfill it for eternity. So, this week try just s bit harder, when you feel like you can't go anymore, just keep trying, I promise Heavenly Father and Christ can make up the rest.
Keep up all your good work! I love you all, and appreciate all of your letters! Have a fantastic Christmas season!
