Elder Holland

So I'm sure you read that Elder Holland came to speak to us a couple weeks ago, but something that he said stuck out to me and I wanted to share it with you. He said that each one of us in the whole wide world are God's investigators. We are here on earth to learn from Him and He wants us all to progress. Are you progressing investigators of our Father in Heaven? I hope you are because we, as missionaries want our investigators to progress and want the people we come in contact with to partake of the blessings that we do, but God wants the same for the missionaries! He wants us to keep our commitments to Him and to help others around us as well. I think that has helped me the most on the mission because if I'm not obeying God, then how can I expect my investigators to obey God. I have another insight for you all. So we went to the Bountiful Temple this morning and the Temple president talked with us. He said that there's a difference between Temple attendance and Temple worship. I thought that was very profound! You can attend the Temple and you're heart and your mind won't be in it, but if you actually go to the Temple to worship, then your heart and your mind will be in it and you'll get more out of it. It was a really neat experience and I think I got out more this time than any other time I've gone. Mostly because I was trying to worship in the Temple more than just attend it! I know that you're all doing great in your prospective missions and I pray that the Lord will bless you!!!
Love ya!
