So, I love being a missionary!!!
This past week was a good week. The good always outweighed the more or less, as always haha. We found some good people to talk to, and me and my comp and making memories for the ages haha. There is no better time to be a missionary than now, or ever.
This past week the highlight was by far the Zone Conference with the new president, President and Sister Amo. They are so cool!!! They talked about one of the things that matters most as well. Agency and Obedience. These 2 go hand in hand, just as me in baseball haha. I loved what they talked about and how it tied into what I read today.
I read the talk from Elder Hales in last conference and was just so uplifted by it. Elder Hales talks about how to become a Disciple of Jesus Christ and he said something really interesting. He used a phrase "selective obedience" and that really stuck out to me. In our lives, we have the ability to choose to obey or not. And, sadly, there are people who are "selective obedient" people. People who obey when they want to obey. And then there are those people that obey, but being compelled to obey. Then there are those true disciples who obey because they use their AGENCY to obey. It says in Alma 32 that people who are humble without being compelled to be humble are much more blessed. So, if we obey without being compelled to obey (use our agency that way it was intended to be used) We will receive All of what God has to offer. Man that was a cool connection.
So everybody, don't be compelled to obey or be humble. Be All In!!! Love you all and have a great week!!
Love Elder Nelson
