This was an awesome week!
Elder M Russell Ballard came and spoke to all the missionaries in the
mission. Elder Hallstrom from the presidency of the 70 came with him.
That was really cool. They came and visited the mission. They wanted to
shake everyone's hands individually. It was a really cool meeting. I got
a lot of good quotes. It was funny because he was telling jokes and
laughing and all sorts of things.
One cool quote "If you can't die and get out of missionary work, then you might as well learn how to do it."-Elder Ballard.
Also he emphasized studying the doctrines of Ch 3 of Preach My Gospel. He told a story of being bold too.
So
he was with LeGran Richards at an airport. A lady with a couple of kids
sat across from them. Elder Ballard had to take the missionary
opportunity, so he told her she was very lucky to be there. She asked
why and he responded that she was sitting across from Elder LeGrand
Richards and Apostle of the Lord. He then turned it over to Elder
Richards. Elder Richards talked a little and asked what church she
belonged to. She said that she was Born Again Christian. Elder Richards
responded by saying "Well that's too bad." Elder Ballard said he about
had a heart attack. That was the funny story about being bold.
We had an investigator come to church this week. That was really awesome. She enjoyed it.
Well, I've got to go, but have a great week.
Love ELder Bronson
