Exchanges

 Another good week out here in the warzone! This week went by so fast I cant believe it's already Monday again. We went on 2 exchanges this week, one of them was with Elder Cook!

Our bishop gave us this big basketball hoop to put in our apartment and when Elder Cook came on exchange somehow we ended up having a dunk contest and we have been throwing down ever since

The work has been great this week! We taught Dawn the law of Chastity this week... and she's not married but is living with a guy so we were pretty nervous. After we taught it to her she said she would talk to her Fiancee. He had said no at first but she was persistent and they are getting married! 

I went on exchange to Gillis Hill this week and actually met some members that lived in Vegas like 5 minutes from where we live so that was pretty cool

We had a lot going on this week with meetings and teaching, so we didnt have anytime to work out... but it's back to the grind today 💪

General Conference was awesome, we basically had to go on a scavenger hunt to find everything we needed to broadcast it at the church. After opening a few doors with a wire hanger we got everything we needed 

I really liked Elder Hollands talk. Some of his thoughts that stood out to me were "Ones life can not be Faith filled and stress free" "Christianity is comforting, but often not comfortable"

Sometimes it is easier to choose to follow the world rather than Jesus Christ and his teachings. But the things of the world and the selfish pursuits of man will always lead down a road that goes NOWHERE! True happiness comes through following Jesus Christ, but that doesnt mean it will be challenge free. But it's 110% worth it.

Love yall

Elder Forrest
