Week Eighty-Nine:  Spiritual Feasting [April 8, 2019

Hi Everyone! 

This has been a pretty spiritual week for me personally! Tuesday morning we were able to go to the Los Angeles temple! Even though it was really early in the morning it was a great experience and really helped me to feel the Spirit! I can't wait until I'm able to attend the temple more frequently than every 6 months! 

We've been able to see Dizi a lot this week! Wednesday she had her baptismal interview and passed! We've also officially finished teaching her all the lessons so now everything will pretty much be review. Also after our Thursday lesson Dizi gave us two containers of apple juice which was a real blessing for Elder Pack since he really likes juice! Last night we also saw Dizi at a fireside. Elder Pack almost made her die of laughter from the different things he was saying and doing. 

We had kinda an unusual coincidence. We sent a referral to somewhere in Nevada and the sisters who cover that area gave us a call to find out more about the person we sent. The weird thing is, the ward they cover is called the Valley Vista ward, which is the same name as our ward!

Jason is still continuing to prepare to go to the temple! He has some names so it's just a matter of time now. We taught him a bit about temples and showed him the video of Elder Bednar and Elder Rasband giving a virtual tour of the Rome Italy temple. 

General Conference was incredible! I don't remember ever enjoying a conference so much! There where so many talks where I was able to feel the Spirit, two of which were the ones given by our prophet! I remember all the years before I came out conference seemed like a chore, but now I feel that I don't want it to end! I encourage all of you to study the talks that were given and seek personal revelation from them! 

I hope all of you have a great week!
