Conference/Temple

Hello, I hope everyone had an amazing conference weekend. This week went by super fast and was amazing. I have always looked forward to general conference but even more so as a missionary. I loved how much they talked about charity. I started studying charity a couple months before the mission and have loved studying it ever since. My favorite talk was from the prophet about getting rid of all contention in our lives and replacing it with charity, the pure love of christ. 

This week for conference weekend I had my mom send me her famous cookie recipe and me and my comp quickly got to work whipping out around 200 cookies Saturday through Monday. I didn't know making cookies was so easy. By the end we were throwing all the ingredients together and putting them in the oven in under 5 minutes. The cookies were a huge hit with one member eating around 14 in two days. He then asked how to use the oven (cause most people just use it for storage here) then asked for the recipe. This week we may attempt brownies as our skill level has surpassed cookies. Thanks mom

I'm posting a picture below of my favorite people right now, the family Chang. They have worked as temple presidency and are temple workers right now and they're the best. They took us to pollo campero today after the temple.

Other than that we got to go to the temple today. I haven't been to the temple since the Mexico mtc almost around 7 months ago. The temple was amazing and I forgot how much I missed it. It truly is the house of God and the peace and joy we feel in the temple is unmatched from any other place.

This week was truly so special and such a good opportunity that we all had to hear from the prophet and his apostles. I always think about how much better the world would be if we all had an ounce of the charity that Christ has. I invite all of you to try and show a little bit more love this week.

Love you all
