Nearing the finish line...

Beautiful sunset in Norman, Oklahoma

We had a meeting up in Moore last Tuesday and we were running late. We were headed to pick up the other elders and ran into construction work. I pulled into a gas station on the corner and went out the other side of the gas station so that I could avoid a long detour. A cop pulled me over immediately and I have a ticket to pay. It's $124 for "improper use of service drive".

 

I listened to a speech from Elder Maxwell titled, "But for a Small Moment". It was really good! We are having our zone temple day this Thursday. Our session is at 12 so we counseled with our District Leaders and decided to hold a short Devotional beforehand from 10:30-11:30. We'll have a couple talks on drawing personal strength through the Atonement and being still and trusting in God. Then we'll show the Because of Him video and listen to someone play the piano for about 10 minutes while we do some personal reflection; Write a letter to yourself bearing your testimony, read your Patriarchal Blessing, read the scriptures, write questions to ponder in the temple... etc. Then we'll have a brief testimony meeting and then proceed to the temple. I think it will be a great experience for everyone. 

 

Staying strong for the last month of my mission!! I wouldn’t change anything about the last 2 years. I love it!!
