What a long week! I'm not even sure why. It just feels like Thanksgiving was weeks ago. At about 6:30am that morning, we played football up in Atwater for a couple hours (approved by the mission president of course). It was so much fun! But we are all super sore the next few days. Apparently 20 minutes of running each morning just doesn't cut it. After that we had a zone meeting and then a regular proselyting day. The only problem is they didn't tell us it would be a regular proselyting day until late the night before, so we didn't have any plans. We didn't get much done, but we ate a ton of food. First we ate with J, then we had some pie at the Ps' and then we ate with a less active member named T. We were so full!
We had two investigators at church as well as a less-active member and her non-member boyfriend. It was so great to see them there! We put a lot of effort into getting them to church. Fast and Testimony meeting went over 20 minutes which was kind of frustrating, but I don't think our investigators minded too much. We have some good potential for baptisms this month, and the members are starting to help us find investigators. We didn't make any of them new investigators this week, but there are a few potentials that members have directed us to that could become investigators this week.
We have zone conference with Elder Bruce D. Porter this week and then we have Christmas Conference next week, and then after that is transfers, and then after that is Christmas. This month is going to fly by!
I read today in President Eyering's talk from the Sunday morning session of Conference a quote by President George Q. Cannon: “There is not one of us but what God’s love has been expended upon. There is not one of us that He has not cared for and caressed. There is not one of us that He has not desired to save, and that He has not devised means to save. There is not one of us that He has not given His angels charge concerning. We may be insignificant and contemptible in our own eyes, and in the eyes of others, but the truth remains that we are the children of God, and that He has actually given His angels—invisible beings of power and might—charge concerning us, and they watch over us and have us in their keeping.”
Then President Eyering said, "What President Cannon taught is true. You will need that assurance, as I have needed it and depended on it.
What a promise! I love you all!
Elder Lofthouse
