Jacob - October 17, 2016

This week we met together as a stake. There were lots of
people and we all got to partake of the sacrament together. It was
cool, but the reason was that there are some changes going on in the
Spanish Stake. Two wards are going to be discontinued and their
members will meet in different wards. The boundaries of the ward I am
currently in will expand a little bit and we are going to have another
companionship here for at least this transfer. So we will have 6
elders and 2 sisters here. It's pretty crazy, but I'm really excited
to see what we'll happen this transfer. I think a lot of good will
come of it. Oh also this week I had the opportunity to have an
interview with President Taggart. We talked a little about humility
and also about Alma 5:33-34. I like this scripture because the
invitation the Savior extends is one word: Repent and his promise
blessing is that he will receive us. I find it amazing how simple the
doctrine is and that it's the only we thing we need to do to receive
the Savior's love. But there's a ton of other scriptures that I've
enjoyed as I've read the Book of Mormon. Currently I'm in Alma 18
where Ammon begins his ministry among the Lamanites. But I think
that's mostly it for this week. I'm doing well and today is transfers
which equals change, lot's of change with this new stake layout, but I
know everything will go well. I love you mom, I hope you have a great
week and that you can feel 100% again. Also that you can overcome
those negative feelings. Just remember the savior has felt it all, so
let him help you out. Take care.
