General Conference 🔥🔥🔥

So General Conference was fire. Am I right or am I right? For those of you who are wondering about why I'm mentioning it this week, general conference was this weekend for Taiwan ;) and we got to watch it at President's house! Pros of being right next to the mission office :) Anyway...

Monday, we played games and such and that was a grand old time! Tuesday, we had district council and some other stuff which was good! I'm the EUL (English Unit Leader) again this transfer, which is fun, but I have to do my trainings in Chinese now so that will be an adventure. 

Wednesday, we had MLC which was great! For our zone vision we are going to be having a Bingo sheet with different goals and things to help make it fun for our zone. It'll be a good time! After that we had our English conversation group, which was pretty good, we oversee the parent child group and had a little boy who was all over the place and climbing on everything and it was all around a little chaotic but an adventure! My comps have it pretty much down to a science so it's all good. OH OH also we had a temple tour with our friend Barry (林弟兄) and set him on date! It was literally the easiest date set ever!! YAYYY BARRY. Then we had a meeting about the Christmas concert! I'm excited! 

Thursday, we had a temple tour for some missionaries in Taichung and then we had a (supposedly pass of but he's not actually interested) lesson with the Xinan sisters. The guy was really funny but spoke so fast and kind of yelled the whole time, so I got absolutely none of it haha. We love those. 

Friday, we had zone council, weekly planning, and ate hot pot with a member! It was good :) 

Saturday and Sunday we had General Conference! We also had a dinner with some members last night who are super sweet. It was good!

Spiritual thought for the week: One of my favorite talks in general conference was Elder Holland's.  In it he stated, "It is one of the most powerful paradoxes of the Crucifixion that the arms of the Savior were stretched wide open and then nailed there, unwittingly but accurately portraying that every man, woman, and child in the entire human family is not only welcome but invited into His redeeming, exalting embrace." What does it mean to you personally to know that the Savior's arms are always stretched out toward you, and always ready to embrace you? That He invites all to come and experience His rest? He is speaking this to YOU. Not to someone else, not to a family member or friend, but YOU. If He was here, He would let you feel His hands and feet. He would hold your face in those hands where the reminder of His love for you will forever be imprinted. And He would gently assure you that He did indeed do it for you and invite you to be healed through repentance.  Is His invitation to you more meaningful to you than whatever could possibly get in the way? And if not, why not?
