Well I enjoyed the simplicity of keeping my email real simple last week, so I am going to do that again, and paste stuff from my journal. Hope you all enjoy!
Monday: We went to the Zone Leaders clubhouse and I played a little virtual golf with Elder Sundh, I did really bad in Abudabai...got like +75...I was real bad at it. Then we played in the Rocky mountains. I did a lot better there only got +44. Haha but it was fun.
We ran across the street after this one girl(not the best idea to yell at someone, I mean it is ok to be awkward, but not too awkward that they didn't really want to listen to us), but felt good because we were bold, also it might have helped even more because after we met this girl...and she knows Elder McGowan!!! The one in Hong Kong that I know!!(met Elder McGowan in the MTC, and his family is from C'Ville and they feed us sometimes, they are super awesome) It was super crazy, and all we got was her phone number, but we are going to meet!
Wednesday: Well today was really good, had a really good personal study, and learned that not only should we keep the Sabbath day holy, but that it is actually a holy day, and consecrated to the Lord. And we keep it holy because it is literally a holy day, just like the temple is a holy place and we keep that holy and sacred it is pretty cool.(10 commandments).
Friday: During lunch(at Zone Conference) I sat with Elder Walton and Elder Wheeler and President, because there were no other seats, and Elder Walton asked me what events I swam in high school, and when President found out that I swam he basically told me that swimming was the worst sport. And doesn't understand why I would do it...hahaha it was a bit insulting I suppose. Haha but that that was pretty funny.
Saturday:Also from afar saw this Chinese girl and so I walked up to go and talk to her, and said the normal stuff...then she looked super familiar....and I asked if I knew her, and I did...IT WAS GLORIA!(person we had been teaching before she went home to China) So super embarrassing, but also really cool to run into her!
Sunday: We went to church...and man I really like church, also got to play in sacrament again! It wasn't as scary, played the same sacrament hymn...oh well...but it was good. Church is so great though. Then the rest of it was good, also got to play piano in Elders quorum...and it was way more out of blue...walked in...Smith do you play?...yep...246 Onward Christian Soldiers...ok...so then I just played the upper hand because I am not good enough. But it was alright.
Well this was my week! Hope you all had a great one! This gospel is true! Here is a little spiritual insight for the week.
The joy we experience in this life will be in direct proportion to how well our lives are centered on the teachings, example, and atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. -Richard J. Maynes
This is SO true! As we come closer to Jesus Christ, we receive blessings, as we keep the commandments(or rules to a happy life) we are happy. All true happiness, and joy come from Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Follow their wisdom and counsel! They want the best for you and me! As we do will will receive the joy promised by prophets throughout time!
Love you all!
-Elder Smith
