Week 60: Mission Conference!

Hallo zusammen!

This past week was so good! A highlight was definitely the mission conference we had yesterday! Elder Alliaud and Elder and Sister Rasband were there, and their remarks were so inspiring! I also got to see so many of my friends! It was such a joyful day yesterday!

To jump back a little bit, we did a lot of street finding and social media work this past week. We've seen a little bit of success from street finding, but social media finding has gone pretty well. I'm thankful I have Sister Ligon to help me navigate it all because social media finding isn't my strong suit.

We had an amazing time with a less-active member that we've been working with. She brought a friend, and we had a really good discussion together! It was led by this member, and it all felt so natural. Nothing beats member-missionary work!

Like I mentioned earlier, we had the opportunity to hear from disciples of Jesus Christ! Elder Rasband talked about how valuable our work as missionaries is even if we don't always get to see the fruits of our labors. He taught us to find joy in all types of missionary work whether we are planting seeds, nourishing seeds, or harvesting. Sister Rasband shared a formula for discipleship that stuck out to me: when we know the Savior, we come to love Him, and when we love Him, we want to serve Him. It's that simple. When we get to know the Savior, our love for Him will carry us through into being true disciples.

That's all for the week! Bis zum nächsten Mal!

Liebe Grüße,

Sister Gladwell
