So seeing Elder Holland was pretty
much the coolest experience ever. He is such a boss! It was really
interesting though, because after shaking all of our hands, he was
talking about how much he loves us, and how underneath the tough
exterior, he is really just a soft marshmallow with missionaries. And
not 10 minutes later, he was almost yelling at us. But it was totally
full of love. It was funny though, he didn't raise his voice because he
was telling us to be more obedient (because he didn't. He actually said
that he felt that we didn't need to be talked to about obedience), he
was telling us other stuff. He actually talked a lot about our purpose
as missionaries (The purpose in the front of PMG. Pretty much what the
4th article of faith says.). He said he has never done that with
missionaries, but he felt like he needed to do that for us... IDK. It
was SUPER awesome though. The Spirit was sooo strong there! It was
pretty much a mission changing experience. And several missionaries
recorded it, so now it's on my mp3 player, so now I can listen to it
whenever needed :)
Our mission does what's called an I'm Mormon
devotional where 2 recent converts speak about their conversion story.
It's super effective to bring investigators and less-actives to them.
But for this past one, the Assistants called me up and asked if I could
do a musical number. So with a total of probably 5-10 minutes of
practice, and with my old Zone Leader playing the ukulele, me and 5
other Elders sang I'm Trying to be Like Jesus. It actually turned out
really well!
So a random little fact: Even though I'm turning 20
in a month, I have been younger than every single one of my 12
companions my whole mission, and there have only been a handful of
missionaries in all of my districts that have actually been younger than
me. Pretty funny :)
Anyways, that's about all for this week :)
Thanks for reading!
