So this week has been a lot warmer thanks to the Chinooks! They are truly heaven sent. It got up to 10 Celsius this week! Much better than -20 in my opinion.
Some cool things happened this week!
We had a world wide missionary broadcast from Salt Lake. It was the first one they've had in a really long time from the sounds of it. It was awesome! We received training from members of the quorum of the 12 and other general authorities of the church. It was really instructive, and got us all pumped for missionary work!
We spent a lot of time this week working with our less active members. One lesson in particular sticks out. We were meeting with a sister who has been struggling with smoking for a very long time. While we were there, the member that we brought with us challenged her to quit. She declined at first because she really didn't think she could, but as we kept talking with her, she realized that she wanted to be able to feel the spirit more strongly in her life, and she wanted to be able to go to the temple. She understood that this is something Heavenly Father wanted her to do, and that he would help her overcome her addiction. She agreed to quit, and we're going to do all we can to help her! We're very excited for her!
Since I'm running out of time, that's going to have to be all for today. For my spiritual thought I just want to leave you with an invitation. This is something I'm sure I've talked about before. Learn how to better recognize the promptings of the Holy Ghost. This is something that I've struggled a lot with, but I'm starting to get better, and it's really neat. In the Book of Mormon we're promised that "by the power of the Holy Ghost, you may know the truth of all things". The only way to really gain a knowledge of the truthfulness of the restored gospel is through the spirit. Because of this, it's vital that we learn how it speaks to us, and how we can recognize it.
Hope you guys all have a wonderful week full of missionary opportunities!
Love,
Elder Moffitt
