We haven't had a super eventful week, Temple Square is pretty quiet with the winter season being in full swing - except for the snow. The snow hasn't made a huge appearance yet this winter.. I'm sure it's coming though.
1. We had Zone Conference! We talked a lot about Abraham and the Pearl of Great Price... it was really interesting to me, because the thing I took away from all of it is that God loves His children so so so much. I definitely felt that as we sat and talked about ancient prophets and about our Father in Heaven - I felt that Heavenly Father was very mindful of them, and that He is still very mindful of us. That gives me a lot of comfort, knowing that when I go through hard times or challenges, He is there for me and He loves me.
2. We found a lot of new people to teach!! One of them is named Armando, and he's from Mexico! He is super sweet, he came online telling us that he wants to be closer to God and feel more of a connection with him. Something he kept saying over and over again is that you can't give something you don't have - and I really think that's interesting. He said that he wanted to bring more peace to his home, he wanted to bring more of God into his home... but since he didn't have those things already, he couldn't help his family with them. I totally agree with him - before we can teach anyone anything, we need to understand it. Before we can give someone something, we need to have it - in practical life as in spiritual life, I think there's a great lesson to be learned there.
3. Sister Honeycutt and I are doing great! We are getting along really well, and I am really loving having her as my companion. We are very similar and think a lot the same way, so it makes companionship unity very easy. I am really grateful for the assignment I've been given as trainer - I am definitely learning a lot more from her than she is from me.
I hope you all have a great week!!
