LA and Stake Conference!

This week was great! We got to go to the temple. We had Stake Conference and got a new Stake President. It was a super cool week.
The temple was awesome! It was the one in Los Angeles. Kind of funny how it took 1&1/2 hours to get there, but only 1/2 an hour to get back. We were almost at a standstill on the freeway.

One night we were walking in the PepperTree apartments and we waved to a guy on his porch. He jumped up and ran over to us. He had a friend who recently passed away and he wanted us to say a prayer with him. We said a prayer and were able to testify of the Plan of Salvation. He said we could come back. That was really cool.

Also we had dinner with some members who are going through a harder time. We shared a scripture at the end and we shared Ether 12:27. It turns out that he had just read that scripture that morning. That was another cool thing we did.

So this week I want to challenge you to learn and grow. Our whole purpose here in this life is to learn and grow. We need to constantly learn and as we learn we need to constantly change our behavior to keep up with what we learn. This may be a little confusing, but as someone learns that they should live the word of wisdom, they need to change their behavior to keep up with what they learn. So this week find something that you have learned and start to change to obey the thing that you learned. It can be hard, but as we rely on the Savior and our Heavenly Father, they will help us become strong.

Have and awesome week!
Love Elder Bronson


So our area goes right up to the beach. We can't go on the beach, but we can take pictures from the sidewalk. It's pretty great.
