Hey all! Well I cant believe that its getting so close... On
a side note I forgot my notebook today so the fun scripture chain will be
taking a break! But, honestly, these two years have been the fastest of my life
to think that in 10 short days it is over...But, I am working up til the last
day so I am not going to get caught up on a farewell to the mission letter til
next week!:)
This week went really well for us, it was by far the fastest
week of my entire mission. What a crazy way to end it. A true week of miracles,
with finding the chosen that the Lord has placed before us, and I feel really
good about how I am leaving the area for Elder McClure and his new comp.
On Wednesday we got to give a zone training to the zone, and
I kind of took it as my farewell because its one of the last training
opportunities I will have. I just shared my feelings about the importance of
obedience to the missionaries. ONe thing I am tired of is that we always find
out about bad things that a missionary has done once he is out of our zone, and
we have no way to help him, so I talked about the importance of solving
problems in the moment, and truly loving our companions enough to help them. I
got really emotional as I shared some personal stories from the mission. I have
loved my comps as a zone leader because it has been so easy to work with them,
but the hard comps that I had, the times where I just wanted to give up. That
is when I grew as a person, and as a disciple.
We got to spend some serious time learning from President
Mecham this week. I love him so much, his spirituality is just contagious to
everyone. We had some fun calls from him this week that led to more operations
haha so fun! We got to learn from him about the reaching power fo the
atonement, and got to have a special interview with him yesterday and we
counseled about some of the problems in our zone. I am just preparing now
spiritually so that I can percieve all of the spiritual promptings that come in
my finaly interview wiht him next week.
Until then,
Elder Stout
