| I conferred the Melchizedek Priesthood to one of my good friends yesterday. It was sweet! |
Nope nobody knows about it here ha and I lent the only green tie I
have to an Elder forever ago and still haven't gotten it back ha. Yup we
are still spending tons of time teaching the members, but this weekend
we had stake conference which helped a ton. Elder Lopez (Area
Seventy in Mexico) came and taught us that it's way easier to think of
references when you think about specific groups of people one at a time.
Like for example, coworkers, neighbors that you haven't talked to about
the church, friends from school, etc. We got a big list of names thanks
to this!

Elder Lopez focused on talking about the importance
of members being converted to Christ and not the church. What's the
difference? You can have lots of callings and the church and still yell
at your family members. True disciples of Christ take advantage of the
Atonement EVERYDAY. He taught so clearly so that even the non-members and
children could understand the importance of repenting daily. He also
talked about how members shouldn't teach non-members about the church,
because then they are going to be way closed off. To open them up all we
need to do is talk generally about God and then share your beliefs and
your testimony. Then they will ask you more. It works!
