This week was really cool. We had zone conference with Elder Nielson of the 70. President Richardson talked about how we should all desire to be in proximity to prophets/ general authorities and by extension God. Elder Nielson talked about his personal experiences with the prophet. He said there is not a more spiritual more intelligent more qualified man on earth. He talked a lot about becoming equally yoked. The importance of being bound so we can push together and lift greater burdens. Yoked with the members, our companions and the mission. He talked about the powerful truth of knowing you are a child of God. If your capacity and potential is to become like Him, your decisions change. They become befitting a deity (hopefully). He talked about how important is to make sure those you are teaching are willing to open their minds. Only talk to those who will listen. He says to never teach a lesson before you know what they know. It was a lot of really good counsel and very conversational. He's an incredible man and it was my privilege to meet him. Transfers are this week, it's been crazy how fast time goes. I've come to realize that as I learn to love the people I'm not concerned about external factors like transfers or companions or time. The ward here is awesome, I'm so grateful for the sacrifice and consecration of the saints here in MN they are wonderful examples to me!
