Tuesday we went to the temple in Los Angeles.
It was an amazing experience. It had been a little over 6 months since I have been to the temple. Wednesday we had Zone Conference and it was awesome. I learned a lot! It was great to see some of my friends.
The people we are teaching are doing really well. With Thanksgiving coming up, a lot of people we are teaching have family coming or are going out of town. A family we are teaching wanted us to go to Lake Tahoe with them on their vacation-haha-but we had to pass.
A huge miracle this week was sports night.
We have been trying really hard to get people to sports night. In the past there hasn't been a good turnout. This past week our friend Florenico came and 4 ward members who are really good at soccer. One of them brought a friend and a less active member came too. It was a super fun night! The Lord really provided for us.
There is a scripture in Mosiah 2:22 that I loved this week:
And behold, all that He requires of you is to keep His commandments; and He has promised you that if ye would keep His commandments ye should prosper in the land; and He never doth vary from that which He hath said; therefore, if ye do keep His commandments He doth bless you and prosper you.
This is so true - that as we keep the commandments the Lord does bless us and that is all He asks us to do; follow Him and keep His commandments.
I am excited for another great week in Lompoc!
