A Sense of Sacred

Helllllooooo again.
The past week was great, got to spend some good time on service and building houses. Then we had a great Zone Conference where we talked about obedience and about the talk "A Sense of the Sacred". It's a really great talk, if any of you want to try reading it. It talks all about how we can gain an appreciation and reverence for sacred things, and the importance of that in our lives. It was really great to hear from President and Sister Reeder as well! We also had a decent turnout yesterday for church, with 7 of our Less Active members coming to church. We've found out that they don't really need a big long lesson once a week, but constant, short visits just for us to show them that we really care for them. We did have several great spiritual lessons that did end up with bringing members back to church. Our less active second counselor opened up to us and told us he thinks he's ready to begin the repentance process to come back to church and lead his family again. So hopefully we can get moving on that with the help of our Branch President! Besides that, not really an eventful week. Near nighttime on the way to an appointment, we walked passed a "Hot Babes Bar" where there were some women outside who were yelling at us to join them, for free because we're foreigners, but we thanked them for the offer and said we're ok and kept goin haha. Kind of a random experience. I thought of the great and spacious building, but this one wasn't very tempting haha. Random lesson to not get distracted from the Lord's work. Anyway, hope you all have a great week
