Hows it going? This week was a pretty fun one. I saw a horse. That's different.
We had zone interviews this last week. Its fun having so many new people here, both native speakers and foreigners. Its a lot of teaching and learning and questions.
We had a lot of people come to church yesterday and it was great! It's so amazing to see people taking the steps that they know they need to to come unto Christ. That's really the reason why we're all here, and it is an active process we all need to be engaged in.
I just want to add something I've learned this week: the importance of remembrance. we need to remember the experiences we have. we need to remember the love that we've felt for us and from us. we need to remember all the goals that we're working for and the things we need to do. Satan tries to get us to forget. his whole thing is to make us forget who we are and who our Father is. We cannot forget. The people in the scriptures (namely the book of mormon) are repeatedly called to remember again and again, and sometimes we even have trials to make us seek Him again. But, because God loves us, He gave us the Holy Ghost to "bring all things unto [our] remembrance." God gave us a gift to help us with one of the most important things we need to do because it is exactly that important. He gave us the Sacrament to remember the sacrifice of His Son every time we go to Church. He gives us so many ways to remember and we just need to try our best to remember Christ always. To remember His sacrifice and His Love. To remember who we want to be and who He knows we can become. Don't forget the love God has for you. No matter what he's there for you.
