NOTHIN' BETTER THAN THIS!

FAMILY!

This will be a short one….. we’re at a members home so we have to keep it short. 

This past Tuesday we had an incredible, incredible training by President Slaughter. Dang, he says a lot of things that remind me of the kind of things Tuck's mission president would say. (i.e. It’s better to shoot for the stars and miss than to shoot for the mud and make it.) It was amazing how focused he is on working with members and what has been shared by the first presidency for missionary work. I LOVE IT! It is just in line with all that has been running through my mind. I feel like there are still alot out there I am missing, but we can't know everything all at once. The training was focused on faith. Having faith based questions, having faith in the members, faith in your investigators and believing in them when they don't believe in themselves, when they have fear. Your faith with rub off onto them and they will begin to have that confidence. Our bishop recently told Brother Baldea..."I expect great things from you." Wow if we said that to everyone, how much more would they believe in themselves. It is so true. Do we think of those we are teaching as just another member of the congregation or do we imagine them leading in the church and BUILDING THE KINGDOM OF GOD! President Slaughter also focused a lot on finding strong families that are strong together and are going to uplift everyone. It is easy and so simple to find those who are struggling and desperate for help, but how much greater will God's kingdom be if we can also find strong families.
