Ridonckulously cold!

This week was super cold but super fun! Lot's of work with people in different areas and seeing cool miracles even though it's been ridonckulously cold!

We had exchanges with different people around the mission, we got to go up to Tulsa and I got to be with Elder Vogt again, that was super fun! We rocked the campus up there! It was super cool to be with him and see how much he's changed and how much I've changed. Especially because when we were together, we didn't have a clue of what we were doing! 

We’ve been working on our training of the history of the Bible too for zone conference this week! It’s been fun, but also way exhausting. I would definitely invite you to look into some of that history, here's what I've learned thus far in a brief sentence or two.

The Bible is the word of God, it's just way incomplete!!! People are funny out here when they're like, yeah it's complete and you can't add or take away from it! I'm just like, well what about the 15 books the Bible says are supposed to be in it (lost books, under bible dictionary, check that out it’s cool) and what about the mention of doctrines that are just thrown out with no other explanation, like baptisms for the dead in 1 Corinthians 15? And then they're like, so you don't believe the Bible is true. And then it's like no we do it's just incomplete and translated weird and they're like no you don't. And then I love this analogy. It's like taking the Civil War out of a history book. The history book still is true, it's just missing a key thing and doesn't contain the fullness of our U.S. history. I love this if you can't tell, it's waaay fun!! 

Guess where we've been for about 20 hours this week with callings and reports and preparing trainings?... the office!!! Haha I'm not complaining, it's important stuff and I'm really happy to be doing it and to be serving. It really helps out president and it's good information that will help to inspire great revelation!

This transfer I'm working on feeding off of helping others lifting and strengthening them and seeing how I've helped them become who they are! President invited me to do so because he said he feeds off of that and that's what keeps him going, seeing how he's helped people come closer to the Savior and then become better because it helps. He said it helps with comparison and selfishness. It's been cool so far!

I really have changed a lot, lot's of growth and maturity, more reverance for the things that are sacred. More love for the gosepl, more understanding of who I am and what I'm supposed to be doing!

Elder Wold
