Stand Strong and Share Truth

Less than average week. Only because nothing overly exciting happened.

We did get new mattresses though (it's a big deal).

Actually I remembered something... so on Tuesday the Elders quorum

president asked us if we could teach the class on Sunday... sure why

not nothing else going on. Then Wednesday morning 1st councillor in

the bishopric calls and asks "Elder Pilling could you stand in and give a

talk on Sunday? One of our speakers can't make it. 7-10 minutes on the

talk from Thomas S Monson called Courage to Stand Strong." Thursday

all day was interviews with president and training from the

assistants. Pretty busy planning lesson (new curriculum not a lot of

material) so we planned a lot. My talk went ok. Not the greatest some

of my thoughts didn't make sense haha. Shared some classic

construction stories tho.

So I had some good study 📖 learned a ton! Lots about choosing the

right. Choosing the harder right instead of the easier wrong! Standing

true to our beliefs and not diluting what we believe when asked, etc.

Quite a lot of stuff. My FAVORITE probably came down to what we can

learn from Jesus Christ our Saviour. As he was confronted with many

false accusations he always shared truth and testified. When we

testify, a few things happen. First the spirit will touch the hearts of

those who are prepared and second we find our true testimony. After all "a

testimony is found in the bearing of it." Boyd K. Packer

I challenge you all to take a second thought when one asks about your

beliefs and stand strong and share truth. You never know who's ready

to receive.

This week is the last full week of the transfer so on Saturday we will

find out who moves around and what not. Should be good.  Quite a few

people are heading home and stuff so ah it's just exciting.

Also I snagged my English drivers license! Due to fraud reasons I

won't send a pic lol but it's pretty neat!  I feel like a proper citizen

hehe

One last IMPORTANT THING, if you email me your address I'll send you a

cool English postcard 😎 free of charge ;)

Love you alls
