Frontier of Faith!

Wow it's been a crazy two weeks! Sorry I missed writing everyone last week. So I'll just tell ya about some of the major things that happened. We had MLC. That's was super crazy. It was like a personal General Conference. We had a general authority come down and talk to us. Elder Pearson. He talked a lot about faith and getting to the next level as a missionary. He explained it as a graph. On the x axis is effort/diligence and on the y axis is attitude/attributes. Some times as missionaries we have a good attitude towards the work and want to do good just have no effort behind it. Or we might have a lot of effort and then it hits 110+ and all of out diligence goes away. Then on the same graph, just a little bit out is what he called the frontier of faith. Beyond the frontier of faith is where all the miracles lie. Too often as missionaries we stop ourselves before we can get beyond the frontier of faith. So he talked about get to the next level as a missionary and getting passed the frontier of faith. So that was super good. Then we had to have a ZTM and train our zone on it. That was super hard. We had to try and make a meeting as good as a general authority. Just doesn't quite measure up, but it was super good. We gave a 30 minute training and an hour training. That is probably my least favorite part about being a missionary is giving training's and I have to give an hour long one at least every month and then some in between for district meetings and things. Well later this week we put 3 people on date! It was super awesome. Especially since we haven't had a person on date in about 7 weeks! But later that week we got transfer news. The mission is changing a lot. Lots of weird stuff happening and tons of people training. I also got transferred! Super lame! I was kind of mad. I'm going back to my last area with Elder Mangus and we are going to be training. It should be a pretty good transfer though. 


We have been eating in and out so much they gave us hats. People just take us out all the time and give us gift cards to go there
