warzone

 Another good week out here in the warzone! We had zone conference this week, and I thought since their was a few zones I would be able to just relax so I went and took my seat in the back corner.... that lasted about 3 seconds. President asked me to do my favorite thing and conduct the meeting 

Other than that the work has been going good, we have a lesson with Durrontae tonight and we are going to try to set a baptismal date!!!

We went to church for the first time yesterday, it was different but still a good meeting. Me and Elder Marshall passed the sacrament 

Elder Marshall had to have a procedure done this week and he had to take a bunch of medical grade laxatives for a couple days, so I was basically riding solo for a couple days while he lived on the toilet. They figured everything out tho and he is doing good now so that's good

 In Preparation for Zone Conference President Henderson asked us to memorize Alma 7:11-13:

11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

12 And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.

13 Now the Spirit knoweth all things; nevertheless the Son of God suffereth according to the flesh that he might take upon him the sins of his people, that he might blot out their transgressions according to the power of his deliverance; and now behold, this is the testimony which is in me.

It gave me a lot of time to Ponder on the words in these verses and what the Savior has truly done for me. I'm grateful for the love that Heavenly Father has for us, and for the love that the Savior Jesus Christ has for us. I know we always have access to the love and power that comes through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, He has taken upon himself all things. 

Love yall

Elder Forrest
