Wow, week 100. Can you imagine that? 100 weeks since I was last home. Well, only two more to go! I am super looking forward to seeing everyone, and I am going to miss a lot of things here too.
This morning, Elder Smith and I went to the Temple, and wow that was good. If anyone hasn't had the chance to make it to the temple since Quarantine, you've got to go! Make that a priority. When We arrived, we were pleasantly surprised to see our Mission President, his wife, the AP's and SSTL's (all missionary leadership assignments) there as well! So we got to go through the Temple all together.
The days before that, we had a unique meeting with our Zone and President, and after the meeting, he took turns accompanying the missionaries' various teaching appointments, including Elder Smith's and mine. That was pretty fire.
As a spiritual thought, I really want to share my testimony. At the Temple, I was doing some serious pondering, and contemplation. I was thinking about what we were doing, and the promises being made. And I want to testify that regardless of anyone's opinion, complaints, or skepticism, I felt nothing but goodness and purity in the Lord's Holy Temple and his work. I might not know all the answers, and even during the session I had questions, but the atmosphere and the holiness were unmistakable. I cannot express what a pure and clear sensation that feeling was. I testify that God is real. I testify that the Temple is the Lord's holy house. I testify that the promises are genuine and real, and should be regarded with the utmost reverence and dedication. I know there are many problems and doubts that I will find, and troublesome questions I run into, but I cannot doubt or discredit that feeling. Pure. Wholesome. Righteous. Glorious. Peace. Strength. I testify this church is true.
Thank you so much! I'll see you all soon
