Hello hello!

Well, there's a whole lot to say this week! It's been really interesting being back with Sister Moore, because we cover our same area as before in YSA so we see a lot of the same people and it's a really weird flashback! It's been really nice to be able to fall back into a rhythm quickly instead of having to find out how to work the dynamic of a new companionship, and we've been able to work really hard and see lots of miracles. 

Working with the YSA is such a dream come true. I had NO idea how magical it would be. People literally have called us telling us they were bringing their friends to church/institute/FHE and asked if we could befriend them - it's like the opposite of what I'm used to. Most of them are returned missionaries, and the fire is very strong and very real. It's amazing. 

Spiritual insight for the week. We went to visit a recent convert who was baptized a couple of months ago, and he's been really struggling to not want to go back to drinking, etc. He got his patriarchal blessing a week ago, and because of some miraculous circumstances I was there, and now he's my member. We were able to talk about some of the things that he had been promised if he stayed faithful, and then sister Moore and I taught him about the war in heaven and about what it means that he's here on earth with the Gospel and what he had to have done in the pre-earth life to deserve it all. We told him that he had to have been a strong warrior on God's side, and after we had talked for a bit he said "really? I had no idea - nobody ever taught me that." you could see that it really affected him, and he saw life a little differently.

Those are the coolest moments - when you get to help people understand :)

well, I love you all!

Until next week.
