Elder Mason Moon: el tiempo vuela

I think this goes down as one of the fastest weeks of all time. We started off the week with a baptismal interview and Briana passed, so she will be getting baptized this Saturday. We are making plans to go to the temple soon with her and her mom, so that the rest of the family will get to see the bigger picture and more than anything feel the Spirit and all get baptized.

We taught the Ambriz family again and they are doing pretty good. We are working on getting them more familiar with the members and the church in general, so that they feel comfortable setting a baptismal date all together and getting baptized sometime in the next transfer.

We had a few exchanges and on one of the exchanges, the fire alarm went off at 1:30 in the morning, so we had to evacuate all because one person had a sprinkler go off in their apartment.

We taught all the recent converts on Thursday and are just helping them get ready for the temple. Elder Bednar's talk is pretty spot on and that has been a big focus for us whenever we talk to members who are on the verge of being ready for the temple and all of its blessings.

We will be having Elder Klebingat visit our mission on Friday and Saturday, so we will have MLC in Menifee on Friday and then our zone conference on Saturday in Riverside. There isn't a Raising Canes in MoVal, but somehow Menifee has one, so Friday dinner is already set haha. Elder Klebingat is part of the area presidency, so it'll be fun to hear what he trains us on and how we can help this part of the Lord's vineyard grow.

Now is the perfect time to dive deep into our studies of what the leaders of the church shared with us last week. This week, I read a quote from the October 2000 conference. Elder Neuenschwander told us that "...to have living prophets, seers, and revelators among us and not listen to them is no better than not having them at all. The prophet Jacob hoped that the words written with so much difficulty on the plates by righteous men would be received by their children with thankful hearts and that they might learn from them “with joy and not with sorrow.” May we be wise enough to do likewise with the words of the living prophets, seers, and revelators of our time."

Reading one talk a day takes anywhere between 10-20 minutes and it will help us stay true to the restored truths of the gospel in these last days.
