Role Play Picture Things to know about:
-P-day change: we will have p-days on Monday from now on. So this week was awesome. It was transfer week and we welcomed 4 New missionaries to the mission! It was so awesome to see them here and ready to serve! When they first arrive we go to the mission home and we have a little testimony meeting they are just simple testimonies. We always start with singing hymn 26. Joseph Smith's first prayer. You can feel their little testimonies. Then my favorite part is the testimony meeting at the end of the night. Its all the missionaries that are returning home the next day. At the beginning we sing the same song hymn 26. It's different though. The spirit comes with greater force. There was something said that stood out to me. One of the elders that was going home said "this is not the end, it is the beginning of something greater" I thought to myself how could anything be greater than serving a mission? But then I realized that really is just preparation for life! Living to doctrine of Christ brings joy. I know that. They all bring such a powerful spirit! Some of my closest friends went home today. Elder Peterson, Elder Aurich, and Elder Smith! I'll miss them but we have already planned some things together so we'll be good. They're awesome. They all had such a huge impact on my spiritual development. Just to finish up with a verse from a song that invited the spirit to teach me this week. Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed, For I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my righteous, upheld by my righteous, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand. The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose I will not, I cannot, desert to his foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I’ll never, no never, I’ll never, no never, I’ll never, no never, no never forsake! I know that the Savior is called the Savior because he truly saves us by strengthening us, and helping us get up again, and again, and again. He's touched my life and I'll never forsake the experiences I've had. Never. I love you all! 2 Nephi 33:6 Elder Murray
