The mission has been making a huge push on talking to more people. We have a new key indicator called OYMs (open yer mouths) and we're asked to get 20 a day. Elder Vance and I have not been great at talking to everyone, so we decided to repent and start talking to more people. On Wednesday we had lots of time, so we walked 6 miles and just talked to people. It was great. As we did that, we felt the Lord giving us greater desires to serve, and we got more excited. Opening our mouths is fun!
This weekend we had stake conference, which was a blast! TheSaturday night session was focused on Hastening the Work of Salvation, so we were really happy to hear members speaking on how to bless others. And we got fed too, and that was nice.
Real bummer about the Niners last night. We tracted a little bit near the end of the game and we even got invited in to watch it. Too bad we couldn't...:(
The last few days have been super sunny! It feels like Alabama in May, sans the humidity. I'd be happy to stay here another few months.
One thing I've been thinking a lot about is faith. Faith is great because it leads us to make changes in our lives to bring our lives in line with the Lord's will. Even small and simple decisions (like choosing not to speed) can help us gain access to the great power of the Atonement, and the peace that comes into our life from the Atonement is greater than anything else we could find in life. The Gospel makes us happy!
Have a good life.
Elder Gillie
