Hey y'all!
It was a great week here in Marble Falls wrapped up by an AMAZING General Conference Weekend! Here are the highlights.
This week we spent a ton of time meeting members and getting to know them and doing some service as well. Tuesday we went and gave a blessing to an older member who recently broke his leg. It was a good experience and he was super glad to see us and chat with us. Wednesday we visited a few newer members of the church and had dinner with them and were able to teach them a bit too. Since COVID restrictions have been lifted a little bit we have been able to do a lot more in person work which is something I really had been missing. We did some drop bys too to some families in the ward and had some good conversations. We continue our efforts on social media as well and have had a decent amount of success reaching out to local people in the community.
But the highlight of the week was definitely conference! Such a great two days of hearing from the Lord's prophet and apostles. I don't think there was one single talk that I wasn't totally blown away by. One of my favorite talks was by Elder Soares about resisting temptation. I love how we compared temptation to a magnet and said that "as we distance ourselves from temptation it loses its power over us". I think that's so true and something that is so important for our day. Satan is sending all of his tactics on us now and he is in all parts of our life. However if we distance ourselves from common spots of temptation, we will gain strength and he will not have power over us.
I am so grateful to have a prophet and apostles on the earth who lead and guide us! Love and miss you all!
