OPEN HOUSE

This has been and will be an amazing Crazy week!

First off, tonight we have the opportunity to go outside our mission to go to the Mesa Temple Open House with our YSA and some recent Converts and people we are teaching! I am so excited to see more of the Valley.

Also, on Wednesday I leave for England! I am super excited to finally go, but also being in Arizona has been so amazing. I can definitely say that I needed to come here. Because of the people I have been able to help, and those that have helped me as well. I have come to love the people here, but I know that the Lord needs me somewhere else!

Lastly, General Conference was so good this last week! Being able to teach and Testify about Modern Day Prophets has been amazing. I have truly learned that Prophets do not stand between you and the Savior. Rather, they stand next to you and point you to the Savior. 

The two talks that resonated with me the most was President Nelson's and Elder Bednars. They both talked about Covenants and why they are so important. Like they invited, I started studying Covenants this morning. Covenants truly do Bind us to the Savior. The Ordinances that we participate in, teach us about the Covenant and that is where the Power of God is Manifest. I have found for myself, that making and Honoring Covenants is safety for the soul, and Brings Peace and Joy that nothing else can!

Hope everyone has a great week
