😁 πŸ¦ƒ πŸ“…

Hey friends n fam! It's Monday already!? Wowza where did the week go? This week was great and went by super fast!

Some of the highlights of the week were dinners with members. We went to dinner with a recent convert who is a music producer and it was super cool. He took us to an awesome BBQ place and told us all about his job and making music! It was awesome! He said he's produced music with the group The Kooks so you'll have to look them up for me and see if they're good πŸ˜‚ Another member we ate with this week is a movie producer so he took us to get Sushi and told us all about making movies! They were some fun dinners for sure!

Yesterday was great! N__ was confirmed in sacrament meeting and she brought her boyfriend to church. We've started meeting with him now and he said he wants to be Baptised too! Wahooooo! Another great part of the week was zone conference. We had lots of trainings on what to do if there are earthquakes, fires, and nuclear attacks πŸ˜‚ Hopefully that's not a sign of things to come πŸ˜…

A cool thought I found this week was given by Jean Bingham in the October 2016 woman's conference. In it she said, "Our obligation and privilege is to embrace improvement in everyone as we strive to become more like our savior, Jesus Christ." It just made me think about how everyone that has ever been on earth chose to follow our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and that we all came with the goal of returning to live with them again. Some people just don't remember that. That's why it's our obligation and privilege to help everyone we can remember their purpose here on earth, come unto Christ, and eventually return to live with our Heavenly Father. That's what the gospel is all about and that's why it's so important to share it with others!

Have a great week and a great Thanksgiving!
