Hey Everyone!!
Guess what?!? It's SNOWING outside!!!!?!? Yeah. I didn't know it snowed in April in Oklahoma... but it clearly does. It's not that much, but there's still snow falling, which I think is just ridiculousness. Anyway, this week was pretty sweet! There was all sorts of good stuff going down, and some crazy things as well! To start off with, I'll share a few of the highlights or things that I particularly enjoyed this week!
Foremost on my list was that I got to go on an exchange in Del City! It was super fun, and we got to see a lot of cool people! One family we got to visit with already believed in most of what we were talking about, which was super neat, but sadly we had to cut the lesson short since they had to go somewhere. But, you could certainly pray for the Williams family as they continue learning! We also got to visit with a girl named Kel, who is getting baptized at the beginning of May, and she's super ready! It was neat since we were going through the baptismal interview questions with her for that visit, and it was cool to see her notice how much she's changed since she started learning more about the church. So, that was a pretty sweet day.
In addition to that, a couple other highlights were getting to see Brother Grant! He's doing super well, and the Lord is truly blessing him for his decisions of late. For one thing, he got promoted! He told us that it didn't even really seem like a possibility, but he's been blessed and he recognized it, so that was awesome! We've also had some awesome dinners and lessons throughout the week, but I don't really have time to go into all that today. We also got to go this week down to the hospital in Norman to help give a blessing to a member, which was a pretty cool experience. They have a nice hospital down there - super pretty looking on the outside and inside, so that was fun. We also had perhaps one of the best fast and testimony meetings I've been to in a while yesterday, which was awesome. There were some testimonies borne about missionary work, quite a few about the Savior and restoration of His Church, and nobody was up there for an extended period of time, so it was pretty awesome!
On that note, I wanted to share some quick spiritual thoughts with y'all before I go!
This week I've been reading a lot in Mosiah and the Doctrine and Covenants, so that's where the thoughts will be from this week!
In Mosiah, I particularly liked:
- 15:3
- 20:11
- 21:13-15
- 23:12-14
- 23:20-22
- 24:15
- 26:30-21
And in the Doctrine and Covenants,
- 84:88
- 87:8
- 88:3-4
- 88:21-25
- 88:32-33
- 90:24
- 93:23-24
- 95:1-2
- 96:6
Then of course I'm just stoked to start studying conference! It's already on the gospel library app, and it's online here:
Have at it! Love y'all!
'Til Next Time,
Elder Jordan Nielson
