I hope that you are all doing well! So this week.. It has been great!!!
Okay, down to business. The gospel is true!
The MTC is crazy. I am learning a lot. We had a Skype TRC (where we teach real people as opposed to role playing people) It went well. I mostly understood what was going on, and I think that the person we were talking to understood us.... It was great!!!
Guess who came to the MTC!!!! You were close. Nice guess. It was PRESIDENT NELSON!!!! (Sorry to all of those that read ahead, so the surprise was ruined for you....) Anyway, it was great to hear from him. He is amazing!!! He talked about how the Lord is hastening the work, and so we must keep the pace. We have much to do - missionaries and members. He said to make sure that we had written the new and everlasting covenant on our hearts - keep it with us always and hold true to it.
Along with that, at a bishop's training conference, Elder Christofferson said that while the world is wicked enough for the Lord to come again (I agree on this point, I mean, just look at this year's election candidates.... :) ), the members of the church are not committed enough to their covenants for Him to come. I really liked that thought. We can become better and as we become more committed to our promises with God, we will be preparing the way for the Lord to come to earth. So, my challenge to you (and to myself as well) is to go and be more committed to the promises that we have already made.
We've got this, we can be the change that corrects the wrongs of the world. All we have to do is change our hearts!
Let's all go out and build Zion!!!! I love you all!!! Keep on being awesome!
Hurrah for Israel!!!
Love,
Elder Weenig
