BOMC2

So this week has been so crazy and has just flown by! It's been insane! With finals week upon us I got to reflect on how grateful I am that I don't have to take finals! My heart goes out to all of the college students right now! haha I did actually take a final, we have been going to institute on Wednesday night with the branch and we had the final this week and had to write an essay (something that I haven't done for who knows how long) on the Old Testament and really the only thing that would hold me back from passing the class (and getting college credit haha) is I never completed the readings. Soooo if I could get Genesis through 2 Samuel read before the end of the year I would be set. Unfortunately that's not really going to happen.  


Something that our mission has done, starting Thanksgiving and ending the first of the year, is we are reading the Book of Mormon as a mission. IT'S BEEN SO AMAZING! It's called the Book of Mormon Change Challenge, or in KWM terms, BOM C Squared. I am almost done with Alma (which is really behind) and it's been so cool. The spirit is so strong every single time and I learn so much! We have been highlighting different subjects (red- character of Christ, Green- The atonement and Blue-Faith) and it's crazy how much these subjects stand out. Especially the Character of Christ. 

This week we also had Zone Conference and we talked about Spiritual Giancy (another KWM term) and really focused everything on making sure that Love for the Savior is the only motive that we have. President Bell gave an amazing talk on the Character of Christ and that we need to all develop the character of Christ. Always turning outwards never inwards. He gave all these examples (character of Christ by elder bednar gives all those great examples if you want to read it) and it was just super awesome! Then we had an ugly sweat contest and christmas party! Favorite quote of Zone Confrence "We gotta be super consecrated this morning so we can go crazy this afternoon" -President Bell. I LOVE THEM! 

We also saw a lot of super sick miracles this week! We went on a few exchanges and were able to get to know everyone that is in the zone and get the transfer started off all great! I love Christmas time, and A Savior is Born works amazingly on softening peoples hearts! Every single time we show that video we always get the response of "It's so diverse" and I love that! It really shows that God is no respecter of persons! He loves every single one of us, no matter who we are, how old, where we are from, what we have done. It's so cool! 

Love you all!
