{Letter #42} SEARCH AND RESCUE: To Seek and Save

Hey Everyone! I hope all of you are doing well! This week was very busy, but so good! A quick summary: Zone Conference, interviews, exchanges, and the temple!

First off, we went to the temple today! If you haven't been to the temple, or haven't been recently, you should go! It is a place that we learn more about God's plan for us and can feel His love!

Yesterday we went on exchanges! It was really fun actually! I got to ride around on bike for the first time in 2 transfers, so that was nice. We were able to find a couple new people to teach and a few more that were interested, it was a really good exchange. Elder Francom and I also got to talk a lot about goal setting and what we can do to set more effective goals that stretch us, but are still achievable. Ultimately, we decided that the key to doing that is involving Christ in our goal setting. As we do so, we will deepen our conversion to Him and also be more able to help others do the same.

We also had interviews with President Haymond yesterday! We did them in the mission office and just got to talk with Sister Haymond while we waited. It was really good! We got to hear a lot about their story from before their mission. It was a powerful witness that they were called of God to lead the missionaries here! The actual interview was super short. We talked a little bit about how to help other missionaries be more diligent and accountable, ultimately making these things natural and something that pushes us to be better. It was good!

Lastly, zone conference! The theme of this one was Search and Rescue, to Seek and Save.

 It was possibly one of the best ones that I have had since getting out. They talked about how it is our sacred responsibility to be the ones that carry God's children to Christ. We need to seek out the one soul that has strayed from the fold of God. As missionaries, we are called to invite others to come unto Christ. That is everyone's duty who has found Christ in their life! To be a light, a guide, and a support as other people are lost and seeking for truth!

I invite each one of you to find a way to be a light to those around you this week! Show your love for others! Jesus Christ taught:

"Let your light so shine before this people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven."

When we shine our light, we will be happier! God will bless us and we will have a stronger relationship with those around us!


I hope y'all have a great week! Love all of you! Let me know if there's anything I can help with!


Love,
Elder Goold
